Class PublisherAssertion

java.lang.Object
  org.uddi4j.UDDIElement
      org.uddi4j.datatype.assertion.PublisherAssertion

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class PublisherAssertion

extends UDDIElement

Represents the publisherAssertion element within the UDDI version 2.0 schema. This class contains the following types of methods:

• Constructor passing the required fields.
• Constructor that will instantiate the object from an appropriate XML DOM element.
• Get/set methods for each attribute that this element can contain.
• For sets of attributes, a get/setVector method is provided.
• SaveToXML method. Serializes this class within a passed in element.

Typically this class is used to construct parameters for, or interpret responses from, methods in the UDDIProxy class.

Element description:

UDDI version 2.0 introduces an assertion feature based on "publisher assertions". Publisher assertions are the basis for a mechanism to that allows more than one registered businessEntity element to be linked in a manner that conveys a specific type of relationship. This is why the feature is sometimes called the relationship feature. Publisher assertions are used to establish visible relationships between registered data and a set of assertions. This relationship can be seen by a general inquiry message (named "find_relatedBusinesses").

Constructor Detail

PublisherAssertion

public PublisherAssertion()

Default constructor. Avoid using the default constructor for validation. It does not validate required fields. Instead, use the required fields constructor to perform validation.
