Class PamelaMetaModelLibrary

java.lang.Object

org.openflexo.pamela.PamelaMetaModelLibrary

public class PamelaMetaModelLibrary
extends java.lang.Object

The PamelaMetaModelLibrary represent the API used to instantiate a PAMELA model (a PamelaMetaModel). Computed PamelaMetaModel are stored in an internal cache.
The idea behind this is to instantiate required model using a list of class acting as base entries. The inheritance links as well as the properties links (getter/setter) are explored - both are dependancy links -, as well as @Imports and @Import annotations, until a closure is computed. That scheme allows to avoid the explicit declaration of a PAMELA model boundary, since this is dynamically performed. This offers a basic solution to model fragmentation.
Note following details regarding model exploration:

• If a property link should not be followed (accessed type should not be part of returned PamelaMetaModel), use @Getter(...,ignoreType=true))
• If a property type is specialized in PAMELA model to retrieve, declare in that type required entity specializations using @Imports annotations in generic type
