Method Details

getAnnotations

@Nonnull
List<AnnotationInstance> getAnnotations()

Return all the annotations associated to this ClassifierInstance.

getAnnotations

@Nonnull
List<AnnotationInstance> getAnnotations(@Nonnull
 Annotation annotation)

Given a specific Annotation type it returns either the list of instances of that Annotation associated to the Node.

addAnnotation

void addAnnotation(@Nonnull
 AnnotationInstance instance)

Add the annotation. Note that we can always have multiple annotation instances of the same annotation type attached to a node, so this will never replace an existing annotation instance.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - In case the specified Annotation link cannot be used on Nodes of this Concept.

removeAnnotation

void removeAnnotation(@Nonnull
 AnnotationInstance instance)

getID

String getID()

getClassifier

T getClassifier()

getParent

ClassifierInstance<?> getParent()

The immediate parent of the Node. This should be null only for root nodes.

collectSelfAndDescendants

static <T extends ClassifierInstance<?>> void collectSelfAndDescendants(T self,
 boolean includeAnnotations,
 Collection<T> result)

Collects `self` and all its descendants into `result`.
