public class VirtualEntity
extends InstrumentingEntity

This class represents a virtual sub-entity of an InstrumentingEntity, which creates a distinct namespace for all virtual properties added directly to this namespace. This InstrumentingEntity shares the implementation clazz of the extended entity and falls back to it. It will, however, never be responsible generically for these. BO instances that want to use virtual entities have to provide basic support for it via the marker interface InstrumentingBO. Virtual Entities exist as long as its containing InstrumentingSchema exists and aren't shared between different Schema instances. As with other entities, the singular name needs to be unique in the containing Schema. Virtual Entities of Virtual Entities are possible.

getBaseEntity

public InstrumentingEntity getBaseEntity()

Specified by:

getBaseEntity in interface StructuredEntityI

Overrides:

getBaseEntity in class InstrumentingEntity

Returns:

the base (i.e. super-) EntityI of this EntityI

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: BasicEntityI

Returns the name of this BasicEntityI instance. Can also be used for querying objects of that kind in OQL queries.

Specified by:

getName in interface BasicEntityI

Overrides:

getName in class EntityWrapper

Returns:

the name of this BasicEntityI instance.

getPlural

public java.lang.String getPlural()

Specified by:

getPlural in interface BasicEntityI

Overrides:

getPlural in class EntityWrapper

Returns:

the plural name of this BasicEntityI instance.

getL10nNameKey

public java.lang.String getL10nNameKey()

Description copied from interface: EntityI

Returns the localization key for the singular name of this entity. The key is typically constructed by prepending EntityI.PREFIX_L10N_KEY to a canonicalized version of the entity's name (obtained via L10n.stringToKey(getName())).

Specified by:

getL10nNameKey in interface EntityI

Overrides:

getL10nNameKey in class EntityWrapper

Returns:

The localization key for the entity's singular name.

getL10nNameVar

public java.lang.String getL10nNameVar()

Description copied from interface: EntityI

Returns a localizable String variable reference for the singular name of this entity. This reference is typically formatted as "$R{'KEY'}", where 'KEY' is the value obtained from EntityI.getL10nNameKey(). This format is typically used in UI or template systems to dynamically load localized strings.

Specified by:

getL10nNameVar in interface EntityI

Overrides:

getL10nNameVar in class EntityWrapper

Returns:

The localizable String variable reference for the entity's singular name.

getL10nName

public java.lang.String getL10nName()

Description copied from interface: EntityI

Returns the localized singular name of this entity. If no localization is found, the localization key itself is returned as a fallback. This method is a convenience wrapper for EntityI.getL10nName(boolean) with fallback enabled.

Specified by:

getL10nName in interface EntityI

Overrides:

getL10nName in class EntityWrapper

Returns:

The localized singular name of this entity.

getL10nName

public java.lang.String getL10nName(boolean returnKeyWhenNotFound)

Description copied from interface: EntityI

Returns the localized singular name of this entity, with configurable fallback behavior. This method typically uses L10n.msg(String, Object[], Object[], boolean, String) to retrieve the translation, passing this entity as a participant in the lookup path.

Specified by:

getL10nName in interface EntityI

Overrides:

getL10nName in class EntityWrapper

Parameters:

returnKeyWhenNotFound - If true, the localization key will be returned if no matching translation is found. If false, null is returned in that case.

Returns:

The localized singular name of this entity.

getL10nPluralKey

public java.lang.String getL10nPluralKey()

Description copied from interface: EntityI

Returns the localization key for the plural name of this entity. The key is typically constructed by combining EntityI.PREFIX_L10N_KEY, a canonicalized version of the entity's name, and EntityI.SUFFIX_L10N_PLURAL_KEY.

Specified by:

getL10nPluralKey in interface EntityI

Overrides:

getL10nPluralKey in class EntityWrapper

Returns:

The localization key for the entity's plural name.

getL10nPluralVar

public java.lang.String getL10nPluralVar()

Description copied from interface: EntityI

Returns a localizable String variable reference for the plural name of this entity. This reference is typically formatted as "$R{'KEY'}", where 'KEY' is the value obtained from EntityI.getL10nPluralKey(). This format is typically used in UI or template systems to dynamically load localized plural strings.

Specified by:

getL10nPluralVar in interface EntityI

Overrides:

getL10nPluralVar in class EntityWrapper

Returns:

The localizable String variable reference for the entity's plural name.

getL10nPlural

public java.lang.String getL10nPlural()

Description copied from interface: EntityI

Returns the localized plural name of this entity. If no localization is found, the localization key itself is returned as a fallback. This method is a convenience wrapper for EntityI.getL10nPlural(boolean) with fallback enabled.

Specified by:

getL10nPlural in interface EntityI

Overrides:

getL10nPlural in class EntityWrapper

Returns:

The localized plural name of this entity.

getL10nPlural

public java.lang.String getL10nPlural(boolean returnKeyWhenNotFound)

Description copied from interface: EntityI

Returns the localized plural name of this entity, with configurable fallback behavior. This method constructs the plural localization key dynamically (typically by combining EntityI.PREFIX_L10N_KEY, getName(), and EntityI.SUFFIX_L10N_PLURAL_KEY) and typically uses L10n.msg(String, Object[], Object[], boolean, String) to retrieve the translation, passing this entity as a participant in the lookup path.

Specified by:

getL10nPlural in interface EntityI

Overrides:

getL10nPlural in class EntityWrapper

Parameters:

returnKeyWhenNotFound - If true, the constructed localization key will be returned if no matching translation is found. If false, null is returned in that case.

Returns:

The localized plural name of this entity.

getAttributeList

public java.util.List<AttributeI> getAttributeList()

Description copied from interface: BasicEntityI

Overrides:

getAttributeList in class InstrumentingEntity

Returns:

a list of ScriptedAttribute

isSubEntityOf
