public class AccessibleRelation

extends AccessibleBundle

Class AccessibleRelation describes a relation between the object that implements the AccessibleRelation and one or more other objects. The actual relations that an object has with other objects are defined as an AccessibleRelationSet, which is a composed set of AccessibleRelations.

The toDisplayString method allows you to obtain the localized string for a locale independent key from a predefined ResourceBundle for the keys defined in this class.

The constants in this class present a strongly typed enumeration of common object roles. If the constants in this class are not sufficient to describe the role of an object, a subclass should be generated from this class and it should provide constants in a similar manner.

Field Summary

static String	CONTROLLED_BY Indicates an object is controlled by one or more target objects.
static String	CONTROLLED_BY_PROPERTY Identifies that the target object that is doing the controlling has changed
static String	CONTROLLER_FOR Indicates an object is a controller for one or more target objects.
static String	CONTROLLER_FOR_PROPERTY Identifies that the controller for the target object has changed
static String	LABEL_FOR Indicates an object is a label for one or more target objects.
static String	LABEL_FOR_PROPERTY Identifies that the target group for a label has changed
static String	LABELED_BY Indicates an object is labeled by one or more target objects.
static String	LABELED_BY_PROPERTY Identifies that the objects that are doing the labeling have changed
static String	MEMBER_OF Indicates an object is a member of a group of one or more target objects.
static String	MEMBER_OF_PROPERTY Identifies that group membership has changed.
