Class RelationshipReference

java.lang.Object

org.picketlink.idm.model.AbstractAttributedType

org.picketlink.idm.internal.RelationshipReference

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, AttributedType, Relationship

public final class RelationshipReference
extends AbstractAttributedType
implements Relationship

Adapter class that encapsulates a target Relationship instance and provides additional methods to resolve the referenced IdentityType instances.

This class is particularly used when using multiple stores to store different identity and relationship types. In this scenario, the referenced identity type may not be stored in the same store of the relationship, which requires to hold only an identifier-based reference to the referenced type.
