Constructor Summary
SimpleMetadataDescriptor(Element xml)
          Creates a new RMD metadata descriptor from the given XML definition.
SimpleMetadataDescriptor(String name, String wsdlLocation, QName wsdlInterface)
          This constructor allows users to create RMD docs programmatically, adding wsrmd:Property elements one at a time.

 boolean canInsert(QName propertyQName)
           
 boolean canUpdate(QName propertyQName)
           
 String getExtendedMetadata(QName propertyQName, QName elementName)
          This method allows you to extend a wsrmd:Property definition and provide application-specific metadata for a property.

                        String modifiability,
                        String mutability)
Description copied from interface: MetadataDescriptor
Adds another wsrmd:Property element to the descriptor with the basic metadata attributes required by the spec.

See Also:
WsrmdConstants

canDelete

public boolean canDelete(QName propertyQName)
Specified by:
canDelete in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
True if the property can be deleted (it is read-write and mutable)

canInsert

public boolean canInsert(QName propertyQName)
Specified by:
canInsert in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
True if the property can have new instances inserted (it is read-write and mutable/appendable).

canUpdate

public boolean canUpdate(QName propertyQName)
Specified by:
canUpdate in interface MetadataDescriptor

getExtendedMetadata

public String getExtendedMetadata(QName propertyQName,
                                  QName elementName)
Description copied from interface: MetadataDescriptor
This method allows you to extend a wsrmd:Property definition and provide application-specific metadata for a property. These will be parsed as simple name-value pairs - you cannot associate complex types or XML fragments with an extended metadata item.

Specified by:
getExtendedMetadata in interface MetadataDescriptor
elementName - The name of the extended metadata item.
Returns:
The value of the extended metadata item, or null if there is no such item.

getExtendedMetadataNames

public Collection getExtendedMetadataNames(QName propertyQName)
Specified by:
getExtendedMetadataNames in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
The names (QNames) of all extended metadata elements defined for this property. The collection may be empty.

getInitialValues

public Collection getInitialValues(QName propertyQName)
Specified by:
getInitialValues in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
The collection of initial values defined for this property.

The actual values are DOM Elements, since that is how they are described in the RMD. They can be compared to the results of a WS-RP GetResourceProperty call.
See Also:
MetadataDescriptor.getInitialValues(QName, Class)

getInitialValues

public Collection getInitialValues(QName propertyQName,
                                   Class javaType)
                            throws SoapFault
Specified by:
getInitialValues in interface MetadataDescriptor
javaType - The type whose serializer should be used to convert the property values (DOM Elements) into POJOs.
Returns:
The array of getInitialValues(QName) in POJO form.
Throws:
SoapFault -
  • If there is no Serializer registered for the given type.
  • If the property value XML can not be translated into an instance of the given type.
See Also:
MetadataDescriptor.getValidValues(QName)

getInterface

public QName getInterface()
Specified by:
getInterface in interface MetadataDescriptor

getLowerBound

public String getLowerBound(QName propertyQName)
Specified by:
getLowerBound in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
The lower bound of the property's valid value range, if one is defined. The user must interpret the string value in the context of the property's type. The method returns null if no range is defined.

getModifiability

public String getModifiability(QName propertyQName)
Description copied from interface: MetadataDescriptor
Most users will probably want to use the canDelete(), canInsert(), and canUpdate() methods to test the permissions of a property; these methods handle the Boolean logic between modifiability and mutability values so you don't have to litter your code with messy if/else blocks. This method returns the actual string value of the attribute that is used in the RMD doc.

Specified by:
getModifiability in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
WsrmdConstants.READ_ONLY or WsrmdConstants.READ_WRITE
See Also:
MetadataDescriptor.canDelete(QName), MetadataDescriptor.canInsert(QName), MetadataDescriptor.canUpdate(QName)

getMutability

public String getMutability(QName propertyQName)
Description copied from interface: MetadataDescriptor
Most users will probably want to use the canDelete(), canInsert(), and canUpdate() methods to test the permissions of a property; these methods handle the Boolean logic between modifiability and mutability values so you don't have to litter your code with messy if/else blocks. This method returns the actual string value of the attribute that is used in the RMD doc.

Specified by:
getMutability in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
WsrmdConstants.CONSTANT, WsrmdConstants.APPENDABLE, or WsrmdConstants.MUTABLE
See Also:
MetadataDescriptor.canDelete(QName), MetadataDescriptor.canInsert(QName), MetadataDescriptor.canUpdate(QName)

getName

public String getName()

getName in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
The name of the metadata descriptor (defined in XML by its "name" attribute).

getPropertyNames

public Collection getPropertyNames()
Specified by:
getPropertyNames in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
The collection of property names that are defined in this descriptor.

getStaticValues

public Collection getStaticValues(QName propertyQName)
Specified by:
getStaticValues in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
The collection of static values defined for this property. If no static values exist, the collection will be empty.

The actual values are DOM Elements, since that is how they are described in the RMD. They can be compared to the results of a WS-RP GetResourceProperty call.
See Also:
MetadataDescriptor.getStaticValues(QName, Class)

getStaticValues

public Collection getStaticValues(QName propertyQName,
                                  Class javaType)
                           throws SoapFault
Specified by:
getStaticValues in interface MetadataDescriptor
javaType - The type whose serializer should be used to convert the property values (DOM Elements) into POJOs.
Returns:
The array of getStaticValues(QName) in POJO form.
Throws:
SoapFault -
  • If there is no Serializer registered for the given type.
  • If the property value XML can not be translated into an instance of the given type.
See Also:
MetadataDescriptor.getStaticValues(QName)

getUpperBound

public String getUpperBound(QName propertyQName)
Specified by:
getUpperBound in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
The upper bound of the property's valid value range, if one is defined. The user must interpret the string value in the context of the property's type. The method returns null if no range is defined.

getValidValues

public Collection getValidValues(QName propertyQName)
Specified by:
getValidValues in interface MetadataDescriptor
Returns:
The collection of valid values defined for this property. If no valid values exist, the collection will be empty (in this case, all values are valid).

The actual values are DOM Elements, since that is how they are described in the RMD (unlike a valid value range, the valid values are complete property instances). They can be compared to the results of a WS-RP GetResourceProperty call.
See Also:
MetadataDescriptor.getValidValues(QName, Class)

getValidValues

public Collection getValidValues(QName propertyQName,
                                 Class javaType)

javaType - The type whose serializer should be used to convert the property values (DOM Elements) into POJOs.
Returns:
The array of getValidValues(QName) in POJO form.
Throws:
