General contracts
Unless explicitly stated in the documentation, every "Y" class has the following properties:
- has a public empty constructor.
- every property is protected, but has a public getter and setter.
- getters of
String
,YLanguage
andList
properties can never returnnull
. Instead, an emptyString
,YLanguage.Undetermined
or an emptyList
is returned, respectively. - for every
List<T>
property:- its getter returns a modifiable
List<T>
; - its getter returns the same reference all the time;
- its setter accepts any
Collection<T>
(and copies the contents); - there's an adder (which returns
this
).
- its getter returns a modifiable
- every setter and every list adder returns
this
, which allows chained setting, e.g.:
new YElement() .setId("bwmeta1.element.foo") .addName(new YName().setText("Foo").setLanguage(YLanguage.English)) .addDescription(new YDescription().setText("Lorem ipsum").setLanguage(YLanguage.Latin));
The folowing contracts are to be implemented/verified in the future:
-
hashCode()
andequals()
methods are based on the values of all the properties, i.e., two "Y" objects are equal iff they are of the same type and all their properties are equal.
