Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static final class	Relationship.Details	See RelationshipDetail.
static enum	Relationship.Direction	While the direction in the schema package is centered around the node, the direction here is the direction between two nodes.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Relationship.Details	getDetails()	The details containing the types, properties and cardinality.
Node	getLeft()	Returns the left-hand side of this relationship.
QuantifiedPathPattern.Quantifier	getQuantifier()	Returns the quantifier of this relationship if any.
Node	getRight()	Returns the right-hand side of this relationship.
Relationship	inverse()	Creates a new relationship, inverting the direction but keeping the semantics intact ((a) --> (b) becomes (b) <-- (a)).
Relationship	named(String newSymbolicName)	Creates a copy of this relationship with a new symbolic name.
Relationship	named(SymbolicName newSymbolicName)	Creates a copy of this relationship with a new symbolic name.

Method Details

getLeft

Node getLeft()

Returns the left-hand side of this relationship.

Returns:

the left-hand side of this relationship

getDetails

Relationship.Details getDetails()

The details containing the types, properties and cardinality.

Returns:

a wrapper around the details of this relationship.

getRight

Node getRight()

Returns the right-hand side of this relationship.

Returns:

the right-hand side of this relationship

getQuantifier

QuantifiedPathPattern.Quantifier getQuantifier()

Returns the quantifier of this relationship if any.

Returns:

the quantifier of this relationship if any

named

Relationship named(String newSymbolicName)

Creates a copy of this relationship with a new symbolic name.

Specified by:

named in interface RelationshipPattern

Parameters:

newSymbolicName - the new symbolic name.

Returns:

the new relationship.

named

Relationship named(SymbolicName newSymbolicName)

Creates a copy of this relationship with a new symbolic name.

Specified by:

named in interface RelationshipPattern

Parameters:

newSymbolicName - the new symbolic name.

Returns:

the new relationship.

inverse

Relationship inverse()

Creates a new relationship, inverting the direction but keeping the semantics intact ((a) --> (b) becomes (b) <-- (a)). A symbolic name will be removed from this relationship if any, as the it wouldn't be the same pattern to match against.

Returns:

the new relationship
