Method Detail

  public static <T> Reference<T> create(java.lang.String typeId,
                        java.lang.String id)

• get

  public T get()
        throws ReferenceException

  Returns the object represented by this reference. If the reference has not been expanded, throws a ReferenceException. Never returns null.

  Throws:

  ReferenceException - If this reference has not been expanded.

• isExpanded

  public boolean isExpanded()

  True if this reference has been expanded. If isExpanded() returns true, get() is guaranteed to return a non-null object. User code should always check for isExpanded() before calling get().

• isEmpty

  public boolean isEmpty()

  True if this reference has no value in the parent object. If isEmpty() returns true, there's not much to do with this reference - isExpanded() will return false and all other methods will throw a ReferenceException.
