BadPreCondition

boolean metadone.metabusiness.MetaProperty< T >.isEnumerated

(

)

throws BadPreCondition

Indicates whether the property is enumerated.

Returns:

true iff the property is enumerated

boolean metadone.metabusiness.MetaProperty< T >.isRestricted

(

)

Indicates whether the values are restircted.

Returns:

MetaPropertyExt<T> metadone.metabusiness.MetaProperty< T >.narrowExt

(

MetaObject

mo

)

throws BadPreCondition

Typecasts the metaproperty into an unambiguous metapropertyext.

The metaproperty must be directly attached to metaobject mo: a concreterole must exist between both.

Parameters:

mo	Denotes the owner of the metaproperty

Returns:

A proxy that points to metaproperty attached to the mo metaobject in a unambiguous way. The result can not be null.

Exceptions:

BadPreCondition

MetaPropertyExt<T> metadone.metabusiness.MetaProperty< T >.narrowExt	(	MetaObject	mo,
		MetaObject	pref
	)		throws BadPreCondition

Typecasts the metaproperty into a metapropertyext.

The metaproperty must be attached to the given mo or one of the supertypes of mo with a given preference to mopref. If mo is not a subtype of pref, it is replaced by pref when resolving the owner.

Parameters:

mo	The metaproperty
mopref	The prefered meta-property

Returns:

A proxy that points to metaproperty attached to the mo metaobject in a unambiguous way. The result can not be null.

Exceptions:

BadPreCondition

Parameters:

<A>	The new generic type
type	The type class

Returns:

This with a valid type

Exceptions:

BadPreCondition

Implemented in metadone.metabusiness.MetaPropertyExt< T >.
