Method Detail

getPropertyPath

PropertyPath getPropertyPath()

Get the property path to this fetch owner

Returns:

The property path

getQuerySpaceUid

String getQuerySpaceUid()

getFetches

Fetch[] getFetches()

Retrieve the fetches owned by this fetch source.

Returns:

The owned fetches.

getBidirectionalEntityReferences

BidirectionalEntityReference[] getBidirectionalEntityReferences()

Retrieve the bidirectional entity references owned by this fetch source.

Returns:

The owned bidirectional entity references.

resolveEntityReference

EntityReference resolveEntityReference()

Resolve the "current" EntityReference, or null if none. If this object is an EntityReference, then this object is returned. If this object is a CompositeFetch, then the nearest EntityReference will be resolved from its source, if possible. If no EntityReference can be resolved, null is return.

Returns:

the "current" EntityReference or null if none. otherwise, if this object is also a Fetch, then .
