public interface Document extends GloballyUnique
This is the Document interface. All entities that are regarded as "eDocs" in the system, including Maintenance documents and Transaction Processing documents should implement this interface as it defines methods that are necessary to interact with the underlying frameworks and components (i.e. notes, attachments, workflow, etc).

    • prepareForSave

      void prepareForSave()
      This method provides a hook that will be called before the document is saved. This method is useful for applying document level data to children. For example, if someone changes data at the document level, and that data needs to be propagated to child objects or child lists of objects, you can use this method to update the child object or iterate through the list of child objects and apply the document level data to them. Any document that follows this paradigm will need to make use of this method to apply all of those changes.

    • getNoteTarget

      GloballyUnique getNoteTarget()
      Return the target PersistableBusinessObject that notes associated with this document should be attached to. In general, this method should never return null.

This is only valid in cases where the note type is NoteType.BUSINESS_OBJECT. In these cases it's the responsibility for implementers of the Document interface to handle storing transient copies of the document notes (in XML or otherwise) until the underlying note target has been persisted and can be attached to the document's notes via it's object id.
      Returns:
      the PersistableBusinessObject with which notes on this document should be associated
