Class AmaltheaIndex

Object

AmaltheaIndex

public final class AmaltheaIndex
extends Object

This class provides static methods for efficient model navigation, search and delete.

An AmaltheaCrossReferenceAdapter is created and attached to the root context of the model. The adapter maintains an index that allows fast access to inverse references and an index based on object name.

The method getInverseReferences is called from several generated model objects to compute inverse transient references based on the incoming references.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static void	delete(EObject eObject) Deletes the object from its containing resource and/or its containing object as well as from any other feature that references it within the enclosing root context (resource set, resource or root object).
static void	deleteAll(Collection<? extends EObject> eObjects) Deletes the objects from their containing resource and/or their containing object as well as from any other feature that references it within the enclosing root context (resource set, resource or root object).
static void	deleteAll(Collection<? extends EObject> eObjects, boolean recursive) Deletes the objects from their containing resource and/or their containing object as well as from any other feature that references it within the enclosing root context (resource set, resource or root object).
static <T extends INamed> Set<? extends T>	getElements(Notifier context, Pattern namePattern, Class<T> targetClass) Finds elements by name pattern and class
static <T extends INamed> Set<? extends T>	getElements(Notifier context, String name, Class<T> targetClass) Finds elements by name and class
static <T> EList<T>	getInverseReferences(EObject eObject, EReference resultEReference, Set<EReference> targetEReferences) Computes a list of objects that refer to an EObject via dedicated references.

Method Detail

getInverseReferences

public static <T> EList<T> getInverseReferences(EObject eObject,
                                                EReference resultEReference,
                                                Set<EReference> targetEReferences)

Computes a list of objects that refer to an EObject via dedicated references.

This method is called from several generated model objects to compute an inverse transient reference based on the incoming references.

Parameters:

eObject - object that implements a derived transient opposite reference

resultEReference - opposite reference definition (resulting objects are computed)

targetEReferences - list of incoming references

Returns:

EcoreEList.UnmodifiableEList <T>

delete

public static void delete(EObject eObject)

Deletes the object from its containing resource and/or its containing object as well as from any other feature that references it within the enclosing root context (resource set, resource or root object). Contained children of the object are similarly removed from any features that reference them.

Parameters:

eObject - object to delete

deleteAll

public static void deleteAll(Collection<? extends EObject> eObjects)

Deletes the objects from their containing resource and/or their containing object as well as from any other feature that references it within the enclosing root context (resource set, resource or root object). Contained children of the object are similarly removed from any features that reference them.

Parameters:

eObjects - objects to delete

deleteAll

public static void deleteAll(Collection<? extends EObject> eObjects,
                             boolean recursive)

Deletes the objects from their containing resource and/or their containing object as well as from any other feature that references it within the enclosing root context (resource set, resource or root object). If recursive is true, contained children of the object are similarly removed from any features that reference them.

Parameters:

eObjects - objects to delete

recursive - true: contained children should also be deleted

getElements

public static <T extends INamed> Set<? extends T> getElements(Notifier context,
                                                              String name,
                                                              Class<T> targetClass)

Finds elements by name and class

Parameters:

context - EObject, Resource or ResourceSet

name - String

targetClass - for example: Label.class

Returns:

Set of named objects (IName)

getElements

public static <T extends INamed> Set<? extends T> getElements(Notifier context,
                                                              Pattern namePattern,
                                                              Class<T> targetClass)

Finds elements by name pattern and class

Parameters:

context - EObject, Resource or ResourceSet

namePattern - for example: Pattern.compile("Prefix_.*")

targetClass - for example: Label.class

Returns:

Set of named objects (IName)
