Method Detail

getAnnotationTypes

java.util.List<java.lang.Class<ome.model.IAnnotated>> getAnnotationTypes()

Returns a list of classes which implement IAnnotated. These can be used in combination with Search.

Returns:

a List of IAnnotated implementations

createEnumeration

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> T createEnumeration(T newEnum)

allEnumerations

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> java.util.List<T> allEnumerations(java.lang.Class<T> k)

getEnumeration

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> T getEnumeration(java.lang.Class<T> k,
                                             java.lang.String string)

lookup an enumeration value. As with the get-methods of IQuery queries returning no results will through an exception.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the enumeration. Must extend IEnum

Parameters:

k - An enumeration class which should be searched.

string - The value for which an enumeration should be found.

Returns:

A managed enumeration. Never null.

Throws:

ome.conditions.ApiUsageException - if IEnum is not found.

updateEnumeration

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> T updateEnumeration(T oEnum)

updates enumeration value specified by object

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the enumeration. Must extend IEnum

Parameters:

oEnum - An enumeration object which should be searched.

Returns:

A managed enumeration. Never null.

updateEnumerations

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> void updateEnumerations(java.util.List<T> listEnum)

updates enumeration value specified by object

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the enumeration. Must extend IEnum

Parameters:

listEnum - An enumeration collection of objects which should be searched.

deleteEnumeration

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> void deleteEnumeration(T oEnum)

deletes enumeration value specified by object

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the enumeration. Must extend IEnum

Parameters:

oEnum - An enumeration object which should be searched.

getOriginalEnumerations

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> java.util.List<T> getOriginalEnumerations()

Gets all original values.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the enumeration. Must extend IEnum

Returns:

A list of managed enumerations.

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - if xml parsing failure.

resetEnumerations

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> void resetEnumerations(java.lang.Class<T> klass)

getEnumerationTypes

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> java.util.List<java.lang.Class<T>> getEnumerationTypes()

Gets all metadata classes which are IEnum type.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the enumeration. Must extend IEnum

Returns:

list of Class of T extends IEnum

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - if Class not found.

getEnumerationsWithEntries

<T extends ome.model.IEnum> java.util.Map<java.lang.Class<T>,java.util.List<T>> getEnumerationsWithEntries()

Gets all metadata classes which are IEnum type with contained objects.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the enumeration. Must extend IEnum

Returns:

list of Class of T extends IEnum

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - if xml parsing failure.
