Method Details

getNavigationCriteria

public abstract NavigationCriteria getNavigationCriteria(NavigationCriteria nc,
 EquivalenceLink link,
 boolean fetchDownstream)
                                                  throws WTException

Method to get new NavigationCriteria to find object to next level.

Make the NavigationCriteria object final in delegate so that original navigation criteria obejct doesn't gets modified or first make deep copy of navigation criteria.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

nc - Original NavigationCriteria

link - EquivalenceLink from which further links will be searched

fetchDownstream - whether new NavigationCriteria is required to find upstream network or downstream network

Returns:

new NavigationCriteria to find further links

Throws:

WTException

continueToNext

public abstract boolean continueToNext(EquivalenceNetwork currentNetwork,
 boolean isDownstream)

Method which will determine whether to proceed finding next level network

EquivalenceNetwork object has all the links in the current network. One can use this information to build the logic while customizing the delegate.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

currentNetwork - current EquivalenceNetwork object

isDownstream - whether method called to find upstream network or downstream

Returns:

true or false to find further network. default true

populateEquivalenceData

public abstract void populateEquivalenceData(EquivalenceNetwork network,
 NavigationCriteria nc)
                                      throws WTException

Method to populate the EquivalenceNetwork.EquivalenceData to the current EquivalenceNetwork object Supported API: true

Parameters:

network - EquivalenceNetwork object to which data to populate

Throws:

WTException
