Method Detail

find

<Custom extends T> Custom find(Class<?> clazz)

This Method returns a node reference from the Generic System graph which corresponds to the class given as parameter. The node is statically created at startup should the java annotation @SystemGeneric has been positioned in the given Class. Thus the nodes created are permanently accessible through this method and are not removable. It's a secure and extremely fast way to a get a reference on a specific node. The specialization of implementation class can improve the standard behavior.

Type Parameters:

Custom - a customizable subtype of T.

Parameters:

clazz - the expected class that should have @SystemGeneric annotation.

Returns:

the vertex.

bind

<Custom extends T> Custom bind(Class<?> clazz)

Return a vertex built during new Root. If called during Root initialization, mount system node if nesscessary

Type Parameters:

Custom - an implementation of a customizable subtype of T.

Parameters:

clazz - the expected vertex.

Returns:

a vertex.

findAnnotedClass

Class<?> findAnnotedClass(T vertex)

getMetaAttribute

T getMetaAttribute()

Return the meta attribute. The meta attribute is the super of all attributes.

Returns:

the meta attribute.

getMetaRelation

T getMetaRelation()

Return the meta relation. The meta relation is the super of all relations.

Returns:

the meta relation.

close

void close()

Close the root. All changes done in the cache but not committed are automatically rollbacked. Persist the last state of the engine.
