Method Detail

getAttributeDefinitionById

public KimTypeAttribute getAttributeDefinitionById(String id)

Returns:

the KimTypeAttribute or null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the id is blank

getAttributeDefinitionByName

public KimTypeAttribute getAttributeDefinitionByName(String name)

Gets the KimTypeAttribute matching the name of it's KimAttribute. If no attribute definition exists with that name then null is returned.

If multiple exist with the same name then the first match is returned. Since name is supposed to be unique this should not be a problem in practice.

Returns:

the KimTypeAttribute or null

Throws:
