The concept of a 'class' in Brahms is similar to the concept of a template or class in object-oriented programming. It defines the activities (workframes), initial-facts and initial-beliefs for instances of that class (i.e. 'objects'). Classes are used to define inanimate artifacts, such as phones, faxes, computer systems, pieces of paper, etc.

Method Detail

setID

protected void setID()

Sets the unique identifier.

Overrides:

setID in class BrahmsObject

setResource

public void setResource(boolean value)

isResource

public boolean isResource()

addSuperClass

public boolean addSuperClass(ObjectClass concept)

addSubClass

public boolean addSubClass(ObjectClass concept)

addMember

public boolean addMember(ObjectInstance concept)

removeMember

public boolean removeMember(java.lang.String name)

Overrides:

removeMember in class ActiveClass

delete

public void delete()

Deletes this element from the model and removes all references to this element in other model elements.

Overrides:

delete in class ActiveClass

isSubClassOf

protected boolean isSubClassOf(Concept concept,
                               java.util.Hashtable checked)

Checks recursively whether this ObjectClass is a sub class of the specified concept, checking the concept hierarchy.

Overrides:

isSubClassOf in class ActiveClass

Parameters:

concept - the concept to be checked to see if it is a parent of this ObjectClass.

checked - the table with parents already checked in the hierarchy to prevent circular loops

Returns:

true if this ObjectClass is a sub class of the concept, false otherwise
