Constructor Detail

SimpleColumn

public SimpleColumn(java.lang.String columnId)

Creates a new instance of this class, with the given column ID.

Parameters:

columnId - The column ID.

Method Detail

getColumnId

public java.lang.String getColumnId()

Returns the column ID.

Returns:

The column ID.

getId

public java.lang.String getId()

Description copied from class: AbstractColumn

Returns a string ID for this column. It can be already existing in the instance, or generated upon request, depending on the specific class implementation.

Specified by:

getId in class AbstractColumn

Returns:

The string ID for this column.

getAllSimpleColumnIds

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getAllSimpleColumnIds()

Description copied from class: AbstractColumn

Returns a list of all simple (primitive) column IDs included in this AbstractColumn. This is a list to support calculated columns in the future. For example, a simple column would just return a list containing its own ID. An aggregation column would just return a list containing the ID of its aggregated column. In future, when calculated columns are introduced, a calculated column will return a list with more than one element.

Specified by:

getAllSimpleColumnIds in class AbstractColumn

Returns:

A list of all simple column IDs included in this AbstractColumn.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Specified by:

equals in class AbstractColumn

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class AbstractColumn

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

getAllSimpleColumns

public java.util.List<SimpleColumn> getAllSimpleColumns()

Returns a list of all simple columns. In this case, returns only itself.

Specified by:

getAllSimpleColumns in class AbstractColumn

Returns:

getAllAggregationColumns

public java.util.List<AggregationColumn> getAllAggregationColumns()

Returns a list of all aggregation columns. In this case, returns an empty list.

Specified by:

getAllAggregationColumns in class AbstractColumn
