Interface Property

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

PropertyController

Deprecated.

@Deprecated
public interface Property
extends java.io.Serializable

Encapsulates property information. A property represents a data type which can be produced or consumed. The type information is used by the Property Broker to determine matches between properties produced by a source and properties consumed by a target. This interface does not have any dependencies on the specific runtime environment, as it is intended for reuse across different component runtime environments where brokered communication across components may be supported.

PropertyBrokerService may be used to create instances of Property. After instantiation, required fields must be set using setter methods on PropertyController.

Currently only Name is supported.

Method Detail

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Deprecated.

Returns the name of the property. Property names must be unique within the set associated with a component definition. The name is a required field (i.e. must not be null).

Returns:

a String containing the name of the property.

getType

java.lang.String getType()

Deprecated.

Returns a string containing the property type. The type is associated with the semantics of the property e.g. PhoneNo, orderID etc. This field is required.

Returns:

a String containing the property type.

getNamespace

java.lang.String getNamespace()

Deprecated.

Returns a string containing the type namespace. A namespace may be used to group related types in a domain of types, to prevent collisions with similarly named types created in a different domain. This is optional; if omitted, no namespace is used. No namespace is indicated by the empty string. If specified, it will be used in conjunction with type to restrict matches.

Returns:

a String containing the type namespace.
