Setting unique names
You can set unique names for resources.
About this task
To set the unique name for a resource, proceed by the following steps:
Procedure
- Obtain a modifiable instance of the resource for which you want to set the unique name.
- Check whether the resource implements the ModifiableIdentifiable interface. To do this, use the operator instanceof. If the resource does not implement the ModifiableIdentifiable interface, you cannot modify it.
- Obtain a modifiable instance of the resource object ID, that is ModifiableObjectID. To do this, use the getModifiableObjectID.
- Set the unique name by using the setUniqueName() method of the ModifiableObjectID.
Example
// obtain modifiable instance of a model node
final Modifiable modifiable = controller.getModifiableNode(node);
// obtain modifiable instance of the resource's object id; note that modifiable
// instances of all model nodes implement the ModifiableIdentifiable interface
final ModifiableObjectID modifiableObjectID = ((ModifiableIdentifiable)
modifiable).getModifiableObjectID();
// set unique name
modifiableObjectID.setUniqueName("MyUniqueName");
