Method Detail

isSingleNotMultipleReference

public boolean isSingleNotMultipleReference()

Indicates if the constraint references a single data object or if it references multiple data objects.

Returns:

Returns true iff a single data object is referenced.

getConstraintKey

public java.lang.String getConstraintKey()

Gets the key of the reference constraint. The key must be unique within the type the reference constraint belongs to. The key is used by the methods that are generated for reference constraints to access their referenced data.

Returns:

(required).
