Class GDPRConfigurationElement

java.lang.Object

de.ipcon.schema.gdpr.GDPRConfigurationElement

All Implemented Interfaces:

GDPRConfigurationElementI

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractIdentifiableGDPRConfiguration, DataRetentionPolicy

public abstract class GDPRConfigurationElement
extends java.lang.Object
implements GDPRConfigurationElementI

Abstract base class for GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) configuration elements within the schema.

This class provides a common foundation for implementing GDPR-related configuration elements, such as:

• Business interests
• Data categories
• Retention policies
• Laws
• Processing legal bases
• Retention purposes

It ensures that all concrete implementations adhere to the contract defined by the GDPRConfigurationElementI interface and provides a base implementation for handling the XML element representing the configuration.

Subclasses are responsible for providing concrete implementations for the linkAndValidateGDPRObjects() method to resolve references to other GDPR configuration elements and validate the integrity of their specific configuration data.

Constructor Detail

GDPRConfigurationElement

public GDPRConfigurationElement(electric.xml.Element element)

Constructs a `GDPRConfigurationElement` with the given XML element.

Parameters:

element - The XML element representing this configuration element.

Method Detail

linkAndValidateGDPRObjects

public abstract void linkAndValidateGDPRObjects()

Links and validates the GDPR configuration elements.

This method performs two key functions:

1. Linking: Resolves references to other GDPR configuration elements by their Ids, establishing the necessary relationships between them.
2. Validation: Ensures the integrity of the configuration by checking the existence and validity of all linked elements. This helps to maintain a robust and error-free GDPR configuration.

Subclasses must provide a concrete implementation for this method to perform the necessary linking and validation checks.

Specified by:

Description copied from interface: GDPRConfigurationElementI

Sets the local XML Element to null.
