Interface RegistryEntry

All Superinterfaces:

ExtensibleObject, RegistryObject, java.io.Serializable, Versionable

All Known Subinterfaces:

public interface RegistryEntry

extends RegistryObject, Versionable

The RegistryEntry interface is a base interface for interfaces in the model that require additional metadata beyond what is provided by the RegistryObject interface. A few interfaces in the model represent high level (coarse grain) objects in the registry that require additional metadata such as version information and indication of the stability or volatility of the information.

Method Summary

java.util.Date	getExpiration() Gets expirationDate attribute of the RegistryEntry within the Registry.
Concept	getStability() Gets the stability indicator for the RegistryEntry within the Registry.
Concept	getStatus() Gets the life cycle status of the RegistryEntry within the registry.
void	setExpiration(java.util.Date date) Sets the expirationDate
void	setStability(Concept stability) Sets the stability indicator for the RegistryEntry

Method Detail

getStatus

public Concept getStatus()
                  throws JAXRException

Gets the life cycle status of the RegistryEntry within the registry.

Capability Level: 1

This method may throw UnsupportedCapabilityException in lower capability levels.

getStability

public Concept getStability()
                     throws JAXRException

Gets the stability indicator for the RegistryEntry within the Registry. The stability indicator is provided by the submitter as a guarentee of the level of stability for the content.

Capability Level: 1

This method may throw UnsupportedCapabilityException in lower capability levels.

setStability

public void setStability(Concept stability)
                  throws JAXRException

Sets the stability indicator for the RegistryEntry

Capability Level: 1

This method may throw UnsupportedCapabilityException in lower capability levels.

getExpiration

public java.util.Date getExpiration()
                             throws JAXRException

Gets expirationDate attribute of the RegistryEntry within the Registry. This attribute defines a time limit upon the stability guarentee provided by the stability attribute. Once the expirationDate has been reached the stability attribute in effect becomes STABILITY_DYNAMIC implying that content can change at any time and in any manner. A null value implies that there is no expiration on stability attribute.

Capability Level: 1

This method may throw UnsupportedCapabilityException in lower capability levels.

setExpiration

public void setExpiration(java.util.Date date)
                   throws JAXRException

Sets the expirationDate

Capability Level: 1
