Interface RegistryEntry

All Superinterfaces:
ExtensibleObject, RegistryObject, Versionable
All Known Subinterfaces:
ClassificationScheme, ExtrinsicObject, RegistryPackage, Service

public interface RegistryEntry
extends RegistryObject, Versionable

The RegistryEntry interface is a base interface for interfaces in the model that require additional metadata beyond what is provided by the RegistryObject interface. A few interfaces in the model represent high level (coarse grain) objects in the registry that require additional metadata such as version information and indication of the stability or volatility of the information.

Method Detail

getStatus

int getStatus()
              throws JAXRException
Gets the life cycle status of the RegistryEntry within the registry.

Capability Level: 1
This method must throw UnsupportedCapabilityException in lower capability levels.

Returns:
the life cycle status as an integer enumeration
Throws:
JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

getStability

int getStability()
                 throws JAXRException
Gets the stability indicator for the RegistryEntry within the Registry. The stability indicator is provided by the submitter as an indication of the level of stability for the content.

Capability Level: 1
This method must throw UnsupportedCapabilityException in lower capability levels.

Returns:
the stability indicator as an integer enumeration
Throws:
JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error
See Also:
STABILITY_DYNAMIC

setStability

void setStability(int stability)
                  throws JAXRException
Sets the stability indicator for the RegistryEntry.

Capability Level: 1
This method must throw UnsupportedCapabilityException in lower capability levels.

Parameters:
stability - the stability indicator
Throws:
JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

getExpiration

Date getExpiration()
                   throws JAXRException
Gets expirationDate attribute of the RegistryEntry within the Registry. This attribute defines a time limit upon the stability indication provided by the stability attribute. Once the expirationDate has been reached the stability attribute in effect becomes STABILITY_DYNAMIC implying that content can change at any time and in any manner. A null value implies that there is no expiration on stability attribute.

Capability Level: 1
This method must throw UnsupportedCapabilityException in lower capability levels.

Returns:
the expiration Date for the stability indicator
Throws:
JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

setExpiration

void setExpiration(Date expiration)
                   throws JAXRException
Sets the expirationDate.

Capability Level: 1

Parameters:
expiration - the expiration Date for the stability indicator
Throws:
JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error
