Class EntityPropertyReference

    • Method Detail

      • componentName

        public final String componentName()

        The name of the component.

        Returns:
        The name of the component.
      • componentPath

        public final String componentPath()

        This string specifies the path to the composite component, starting from the top-level component.

        Returns:
        This string specifies the path to the composite component, starting from the top-level component.
      • hasExternalIdProperty

        public final boolean hasExternalIdProperty()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the ExternalIdProperty property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • externalIdProperty

        public final Map<String,​String> externalIdProperty()

        A mapping of external IDs to property names. External IDs uniquely identify properties from external data stores.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasExternalIdProperty() method.

        Returns:
        A mapping of external IDs to property names. External IDs uniquely identify properties from external data stores.
      • entityId

        public final String entityId()

        The ID of the entity.

        Returns:
        The ID of the entity.
      • propertyName

        public final String propertyName()

        The name of the property.

        Returns:
        The name of the property.
      • hashCode

        public final int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
      • equals

        public final boolean equals​(Object obj)
        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
      • toString

        public final String toString()
        Returns a string representation of this object. This is useful for testing and debugging. Sensitive data will be redacted from this string using a placeholder value.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
      • getValueForField

        public final <T> Optional<T> getValueForField​(String fieldName,
                                                      Class<T> clazz)
