In working with ManagedObjects that contain properties that are references to other
ManagedObjects, I need to be able to represent this type of property, so I want to
introduce a SimpleMetaType NAMEDOBJECT. This is equivalent to the jmx SimpleType. The only
problem with this is that unlike jmx, there is no entry point for resolving the
NAMEDOBJECT. The value of a NAMEDOBJECT property is simply the referenced object name. The
issue is, what is the reference resolver. The only logical place is the add support for
this to the ManagedObject interface:
| interface Name
| {
| String getName();
| }
|
| public interface ManagedObject extends Serializable
| {
| ...
| /**
| * Resolve a named object reference.
| *
| * @param name - the reference name to resolve
| * @return the ManagedObject the name resolves to if found,
| * null otherwise.
| */
| ManagedObject resolveName(Name name);
| }
|
This looks like containment, but in general it will not be and the ManagedObject impl
needs some registry impl. Maybe there should just be a property ManagedObjectRegistry api
for this and that is where the resolution has to be done as well.
