      This will update a KrmsAttributeDefinition.
      Parameters:
      attributeDefinition - - KrmsAttributeDefinition
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the attribute definition is null
      IllegalStateException - if the attribute definition does not exist in the system

    • getAttributeDefinitionById

      @Cacheable(value="http://rice.kuali.org/krms/v2_0/KrmsAttributionDefinitionType", key="\'attributeDefinitionId=\' + #p0") org.kuali.rice.krms.api.repository.type.KrmsAttributeDefinition getAttributeDefinitionById(String id)

      Parameters:
      id - the given KrmsAttributeDefinition id
      Returns:
      a KrmsAttributeDefinition object with the given id. A null reference is returned if an invalid or non-existant id is supplied.

      Parameters:
      name - the given name
      namespace - the given type namespace
      Returns:
      A KrmsAttributeDefinition object with the given namespace and name if one with that name and namespace exists. Otherwise, null is returned.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if multiple KrmsAttributeDefinitions exist with the same name and namespace

    • convertAttributeKeys

      Map<String,String> convertAttributeKeys(Map<String,String> attributesByName, String namespace)
      This method converts a collection of name/value attribute pairs to id/value attribute pairs.

      At the api layer, attributes are represented as name/value pairs. However, in the database, the names of the attribute and the values are stored separately. The attribute definitions contain the attribute names. All defined attributes(for the various krms entity types) are stored together in a single table. The attribute values themselves are stored in separate tables for each entity type, and then reference the attribute definitions by the attribute definition id.

      This method converts the name/value pairs to id/value pairs so they can be searched from a single table. This simplifies the queries for attributes.

      Parameters:
      attributesByName - - a Mapinvalid input: '<'String/String> containing the name/value pairs for the set of attributes.
      namespace - - the namespace code of the set of attributes
      Returns:
      a Mapinvalid input: '<'String,String> containing the id/value pairs for the set of attributes.

    • getKrmsAttributeId

      @Cacheable(value="http://rice.kuali.org/krms/v2_0/KrmsAttributionDefinitionType", key="\'{ID}namespaceCode=\' + #p0 + \'|\' + \'name=\' + #p1") String getKrmsAttributeId(String attributeName, String namespace)
      This method gets the attribute definition ID for a given attribute
      Parameters:
      attributeName - - the name of the attribute
      namespace - - the namespace code of the attribute
      Returns:
      - the attribute definition id

    • getKrmsAttributeBo

      KrmsAttributeDefinitionBo getKrmsAttributeBo(String attributeName, String namespace)
      This method gets a KrmsAttributeDefinitionBo object for a given attribute.
      Parameters:
      attributeName - - the name of the attribute
      namespace - - the namespace code of the attribute
      Returns:
      - the attribute definition id
