Interface SubtypableData

All Known Implementing Classes:

BioMaterialData, BioSourceData, DerivedBioAssayData, ExtractData, FileData, HardwareData, MeasuredBioMaterialData, PhysicalBioAssayData, ProtocolData, SampleData, SoftwareData, TagData

public interface SubtypableData

A subtypable item is an item that can have a subtype. Subtypes are defined by objects of the ItemSubtypeData class.

This interface defines Hibernate database mapping for the itemSubtype association to a column with the name subtype_id. If a subclass wants to map the association to another column, it should override the getItemSubtype() method and add a Hibernate tag in the comment.

Reference implementation

private ItemSubtypeData subtype;
public ItemSubtypeData getItemSubtype()
{
   return subtype;
}
public void setItemSubtype(ItemSubtypeData subtype)
{
   this.subtype = subtype;
}
