Constructor Detail

AccessibleRelationSet

public AccessibleRelationSet()
Creates a new empty relation set.


AccessibleRelationSet

Creates a new relation with the initial set of relations contained in the array of relations passed in. Duplicate entries are ignored.

Method Detail

add

public boolean add(AccessibleRelation relation)

Parameters:
relation - the relation to add to the relation set
Returns:
true if relation is added to the relation set; false if the relation set is unchanged

addAll

public void addAll(AccessibleRelation[] relations)
Adds all of the relations to the existing relation set. Duplicate entries are ignored.


remove

public boolean remove(AccessibleRelation relation)
Removes a relation from the current relation set. If the relation is not in the set, the relation set will be unchanged and the return value will be false. If the relation is in the relation set, it will be removed from the set and the return value will be true.

Parameters:
relation - the relation to remove from the relation set
Returns:
true if the relation is in the relation set; false if the relation set is unchanged

clear

public void clear()
Removes all the relations from the current relation set.


size

public int size()
Returns the number of relations in the relation set.


contains

public boolean contains(String key)
Returns whether the relation set contains a relation that matches the specified key.

Parameters:
key - the AccessibleRelation key
Returns:
true if the relation is in the relation set; otherwise false

get

public AccessibleRelation get(String key)
Returns the relation that matches the specified key.

Parameters:
key - the AccessibleRelation key
Returns:
the relation, if one exists, that matches the specified key. Otherwise, null is returned.

toArray

public AccessibleRelation[] toArray()
Returns the current relation set as an array of AccessibleRelation

Returns:
AccessibleRelation array contacting the current relation.

toString

public String toString()
Creates a localized String representing all the relations in the set using the default locale.

Overrides:
