javax.xml.registry.infomodel
Interface SpecificationLink

All Superinterfaces:: ExtensibleObject, RegistryObject

public interface SpecificationLink
extends RegistryObject
extends RegistryObject

A SpecificationLink provides the linkage between a ServiceBinding and one of its technical specifications that describes how to use the service using the ServiceBinding. For example, a ServiceBinding may have a SpecificationLink instance that describes how to access the service using a technical specification in the form of a WSDL document or a CORBA IDL document. It serves the same purpose as the union of the tModelInstanceInfo and instanceDetails structures in UDDI.

Method Detail

getSpecificationObject

RegistryObject getSpecificationObject()
 throws JAXRException

Gets the specification object for this object.

Capability Level: 0

Returns:: the RegistryObject that is the specification object. For a UDDI provider the specification object must be a Concept with no parent. For an ebXML provider it is likely to be an ExtrinsicObject.
Throws:: JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

setSpecificationObject

void setSpecificationObject(RegistryObject obj)
 throws JAXRException

Sets the specification object for this object.

Capability Level: 0

Parameters:: obj - the RegistryObject that is the specification object. For a UDDI provider the specification object must be a Concept with no parent. For an ebXML provider it is likely to be an ExtrinsicObject.
Throws:: JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

getUsageDescription

InternationalString getUsageDescription()
 throws JAXRException

Gets the description of usage parameters. Default is an empty String.

Capability Level: 0

Returns:: the usage description for this object, which must not be null
Throws:: JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

setUsageDescription

void setUsageDescription(InternationalString usageDescription)
 throws JAXRException

Sets the description of usage parameters.

Capability Level: 0

Parameters:: usageDescription - the description of usage parameters for this object
Throws:: JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

getUsageParameters

Collection getUsageParameters()
 throws JAXRException

Gets any usage parameters. A usage parameter is an arbitrary String that describes how to use the technical specification accessed via this SpecificationLink. Each parameter is a String.

Capability Level: 0

Returns:: the Collection of String instances. The Collection may be empty but not null.
Throws:: JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

setUsageParameters

void setUsageParameters(Collection usageParameters)
 throws JAXRException

Sets any usage parameters. Each parameter is a String

Capability Level: 0

Parameters:: usageParameters - the Collection of usage parameter Strings
Throws:: JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

getServiceBinding

ServiceBinding getServiceBinding()
 throws JAXRException

Gets the parent ServiceBinding for this SpecificationLink.

Capability Level: 0

Returns:: the parent ServiceBinding within which this object is composed
Throws:: JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error
