All Known Subinterfaces:

DynamicReferentialContainmentRelationship

public interface ReferentialContainmentRelationship
extends RepositoryObject, ContainmentRelationship

Represents a static relationship between two Containable subclasses: a container and a containee. The object-valued Head and Tail properties express the relationship. The tail always references a Folder (the container), while the head references the containee: another Containable subclass (such as another Folder, a CustomObject, or a Document). When the head is a Document object, it represents a specific document version.

Method Detail

get_ContainmentName

java.lang.String get_ContainmentName()

Returns the value of the ContainmentName property. For more information, see ContainmentName Property.

set_ContainmentName

void set_ContainmentName(java.lang.String value)

Sets the value of the ContainmentName property. For more information, see ContainmentName Property.

changeClass

void changeClass(java.lang.String className)

Changes the class of a Content Engine object. The new class must already exist and both it and the original class must be subclasses of the same base class. The changeClass method does not modify the security for an object, even if the object's current security is derived from the default security for its source class. For the object's user-defined properties, the following rules apply:

• Any user-defined properties that exist in the new class but not in the original class are set to the default value defined by the new class (or to null if there is no default defined).
• Any user-defined properties that exist in both the original and the new class that are writable and have the same value (including null) as the default value defined in the original class will be set to the default value defined by the new class. However, any user-defined property that has had its value modified from the default value will retain that modified value in the new class.
• Any user-defined properties whose definitions exist in the original class but not in the new class will no longer exist on the object when its class is changed.
• Property constraints for the new class (for example, required values, choice lists, ranges) are not enforced.

When the class of a document object is changed, the default document lifecycle policy of the new class will only be applied to the document object's DocumentLifecyclePolicy property if both of the following scenarios occur:

• The document has no current lifecycle policy.
• The document is either a reservation object, or is the current version object and is not reserved.

Changing the document class of a document object has no effect on the storage location of the document�s content. For more information, see the Document Storage topic in the "Document Concepts" section of the Content Engine Java and .NET API Developer�s Guide.

Parameters:

className - A String specifying the symbolic name, ClassNames constant, ID, or GUIDConstants constant of the class to which this object is to be changed.

Throws:

E_NULL_OR_INVALID_PARAM_VALUE - if className is null or has a length of zero.
