    • setPlayer

      public void setPlayer(TopicIF player)
      Description copied from interface: AssociationRoleIF
      PUBLIC: Sets the topic that plays this association role. Note that this has the side-effect of removing the role from its current player, if any, and inserting it on the new player, if any.

    • getObjectId

      public String getObjectId()
      Description copied from interface: TMObjectIF
      PUBLIC: Gets the id of this object. The object id is part of the topic map id space, and must be unique. The object id is not significant (or unique) outside the current topic map. The object id is immutable. The object id is thus stable through this object's lifetime.
      Specified by:
      getObjectId in interface TMObjectIF
      Overrides:
      getObjectId in class TMObject
      Returns:

      Description copied from interface: TMObjectIF
      PUBLIC: Gets the item identifiers of this object. These locators are pointers back to the locations from where this object originated.

      The purpose is to enable the engine to detect when references to external objects refer to objects that are already present within the system, such as topic maps which are already loaded.

      Specified by:
      getItemIdentifiers in interface TMObjectIF
      Overrides:
      getItemIdentifiers in class TMObject
      Returns:
      A collection of LocatorIF objects addressing the item.

      PUBLIC: Gets the topic map that this object belongs to. If the object has been removed from its topic map or not added to a topic map yet this will be null.
      Specified by:
      getTopicMap in interface TMObjectIF
      Overrides:
      getTopicMap in class TMObject
      Returns:
      A topic map; an object implementing TopicMapIF.
