Method Detail

getAllAnnotatableParentItems

public static Set<Annotatable> getAllAnnotatableParentItems(DbControl dc,
                                                            Annotatable item,

Get all annotatable parent items for a given item. A Filter may be used to filter the returned collection. If a filter is specified only parent items for which the Filter.evaluate(Object) method returns true are included in the returned collection. Note that all parent items are loaded before the filter is evaluated and that the evaluation order is undefined.

Parameters:

dc - The DbControl to use for database access

item - The item to find the parents for

filter - An optional filter that can be used to filter which parents to include

Returns:

A set containing the parent items
