The VirtualConnectionDetails is an object that contains the properties needed to create and initialise a virtual connector to access a virtual asset that is constructed from access to one of more other assets. Connectors are uses to access the underlying assets.

The properties for VirtualConnectionDetails are those for ConnectionDetails plus a list of connections for the embedded connectors.

    • VirtualConnectionDetails

      public VirtualConnectionDetails(VirtualConnectionDetails templateConnection)
      Copy/clone Constructor to return a copy of a connection object that is connected to an asset.

  • Method Details

    • getConnectionBean

      protected VirtualConnection getConnectionBean()
      Return the bean with all the properties.
      Overrides:
      getConnectionBean in class ConnectionDetails
      Returns:
      connection bean

    • getEmbeddedConnections

      public List<EmbeddedConnectionDetails> getEmbeddedConnections()
      Returns the stored display name property for the connection. Null means no displayName is available.

      displayName

    • getConnectionName

      public String getConnectionName()
      Returns a formatted string with the connection name. It is used in formatting error messages for the exceptions thrown by consuming components. It is extremely cautious because most of the exceptions are reporting a malformed connection object so who knows what else is wrong with it. Within the connection are 2 possible properties that could contain the connection name: ** qualifiedName - this is a uniqueName and should be there ** displayName - shorter simpler name but may not be unique - so may not identify the connection in error This method inspects these properties and builds up a string to represent the connection name
      Overrides:
      getConnectionName in class ConnectionDetails
      Returns:
      connection name

    • getDescription

      public String getDescription()

      Returns:
      description

    • getConnectorType

      public ConnectorTypeDetails getConnectorType()
      Returns a copy of the properties for this connection's connector type. A null means there is no connection type.
      Overrides:
      getConnectorType in class ConnectionDetails
      Returns:
