Class UnresolvedPlaceholderNode

java.lang.Object

uk.ac.ebi.arrayexpress2.magetab.datamodel.graph.AbstractNode

uk.ac.ebi.arrayexpress2.magetab.datamodel.graph.UnresolvedPlaceholderNode

All Implemented Interfaces:

Node

public class UnresolvedPlaceholderNode
extends AbstractNode

A dedicated type of graph node that serves as a simple placeholder in lieu of the node being fully parsed. During graph construction, placeholder nodes can be constructed before all details and attributes have been resolved. As node equality is assessed on the basis of node type and name, this node will be equal to "fully parsed" node objects, of the correct class type with all attributes set. Graphs that use temporary placeholder nodes should then implement a method for updating object references to the correct object.
