Constructor and Description
MemberType(Dimension dimension, Hierarchy hierarchy, Level level, Member member) Creates a type representing a member.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Dimension	getDimension() Returns the dimension of this type, or null if not known.
Hierarchy	getHierarchy() Returns the hierarchy of this type.
Level	getLevel() Returns the level of this type, or null if not known.
Member	getMember() Returns the member of this type, or null if not known.
String	toString()
boolean	usesDimension(Dimension dimension, boolean maybe) Returns whether this type contains a given dimension. For example: DimensionType([Gender]) uses only the [Gender] dimension. TupleType(MemberType([Gender]), MemberType([Store])) uses [Gender] and [Store] dimensions. The maybe parameter comes into play when the dimensional information is incomplete.

Constructor Detail

MemberType

public MemberType(Dimension dimension,
                  Hierarchy hierarchy,
                  Level level,
                  Member member)

Creates a type representing a member.

Parameters:

dimension - Dimension the member belongs to, or null if not known.

hierarchy - Hierarchy the member belongs to, or null if not known.

level - Level the member belongs to, or null if not known

member - The precise member, or null if not known

Method Detail

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getHierarchy

public Hierarchy getHierarchy()

Description copied from interface: Type

Returns the hierarchy of this type. If not applicable, throws.

Specified by:

getHierarchy in interface Type

Returns:

hierarchy of this type

getLevel

public Level getLevel()

Description copied from interface: Type

Returns the level of this type, or null if not known.

Specified by:

getLevel in interface Type

Returns:

level of this type

getMember

public Member getMember()

Returns the member of this type, or null if not known.

Returns:

member of this type

usesDimension

public boolean usesDimension(Dimension dimension,
                             boolean maybe)

Description copied from interface: Type

Returns whether this type contains a given dimension.

For example:

• DimensionType([Gender]) uses only the [Gender] dimension.
• TupleType(MemberType([Gender]), MemberType([Store])) uses [Gender] and [Store] dimensions.

The maybe parameter comes into play when the dimensional information is incomplete. For example, when applied to TupleType(MemberType(null), MemberType([Store])), usesDimension([Gender], false) returns true because it is possible that the expression returns a member of the [Gender] dimension.

Specified by:

usesDimension in interface Type

Parameters:

dimension - Dimension

maybe - If true, returns true only if this type definitely uses the dimension

Returns:

whether this type definitely (or if maybe is true, possibly) uses the given dimension

getDimension

public Dimension getDimension()

Description copied from interface: Type

Returns the dimension of this type, or null if not known.

Specified by:

getDimension in interface Type

Returns:

dimension of this type
