                boolean simple)

Method Detail

isForeign

public boolean isForeign()

Description copied from interface: Reference

Determine whether this reference is a reference to a node which belongs to another source as the owning node.

Specified by:

isForeign in interface Reference

Returns:

true if the reference is foreign, false otherwise

isSimple

public boolean isSimple()

Description copied from interface: Reference

Determine whether this reference is a uni-directional reference

Specified by:

isSimple in interface Reference

Returns:

true if this is a uni-directional, or false otherwise

getNodeKey

public NodeKey getNodeKey()

Returns:

uuid

getString

public String getString()

Description copied from interface: Reference

Get the string form of the Reference. The default encoder is used to encode characters in the reference.

Specified by:

getString in interface Reference

Returns:

the encoded string

See Also:

Reference.getString(TextEncoder)

getString

public String getString(TextEncoder encoder)

Description copied from interface: Reference

Get the encoded string form of the Reference, using the supplied encoder to encode characters in the reference.

Specified by:

getString in interface Reference

Parameters:

encoder - the encoder to use, or null if the default encoder should be used

Returns:

the encoded string

See Also:

Reference.getString()

isWeak

public boolean isWeak()

Description copied from interface: Reference

Determine whether this reference is considered a weak reference.

Specified by:

isWeak in interface Reference

Returns:

true if this is a weak reference, or false otherwise

compareTo

public int compareTo(Reference that)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Reference>

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString
