public int _p_getFieldCount()

Specified by:

_p_getFieldCount in interface PersistentIF

getClassIndicator

public java.lang.String getClassIndicator()

Description copied from class: ReadOnlyTMObject

INTERNAL: Returns the token that can be used to indicate the class of this instance. This indicator is currently only used by item identifiers.

Specified by:

getClassIndicator in class ReadOnlyTMObject

getObjectId

public java.lang.String getObjectId()

Description copied from interface: TMObjectIF

PUBLIC: Gets the id of this object. The object id is part of the topic map id space, and must be unique. The object id is not significant (or unique) outside the current topic map. The object id is immutable. The object id is thus stable through this object's lifetime.

Specified by:

getObjectId in interface TMObjectIF

Specified by:

getObjectId in class ReadOnlyTMObject

Returns:

string which is this object's id.

getSubjectLocators

public java.util.Collection<LocatorIF> getSubjectLocators()

Description copied from interface: TopicIF

Specified by:

getSubjectLocators in interface TopicIF

Returns:

A collection of LocatorIF objects serving as subject locators.
