public interface BusinessModelResourceReferencer
extends Base, UsabilityInterface

Specifies an object that can reference one or more BusinessModelResource objects. Every object that can reference a BusinessModelResource must be able to be asked if can be used in a business query because the resource might not be set or might be unresolved.

getResources

java.util.List getResources(java.lang.Class c,
                            int flags)

Returns a list of resources this expression references.

Parameters:

c - class of resources being looked for.
The class specified should be an interface or class that extends BusinessModelResource.

flags - search definition flags
These are defined in BusinessModel that define:
BusinessModel.SEARCH_NONRECURSIVELY - non-recursive search
BusinessModel.SEARCH_THRU_SUBDATAITEMS - search recursively through DataItems
BusinessModel.SEARCH_THRU_SUBFILTERS - search recursively through FilterItems
BusinessModel.SEARCH_THRU_PROMPTS - search recursively through Prompts
BusinessModel.SEARCH_THRU_ALL - recursive search through all

Returns:

List of Objects that pass the search criteria
