Method Detail

createIssueLinkType

void createIssueLinkType(String name,
                         String outward,
                         String inward,
                         String style)

updateIssueLinkType

void updateIssueLinkType(IssueLinkType issueLinkType,
                         String name,
                         String outward,
                         String inward)

removeIssueLinkType

void removeIssueLinkType(Long issueLinkTypeId)
This method removed the issue link type from the database
WARNING: This method DOES NOT check if there are any existing issue links of this issue link type. It simply removes the record from the datastore. Use IssueLinkTypeDestroyer to 'nicely' remove the issue link type taking care of existing issue links.

Parameters:
issueLinkTypeId - the id of the IssueLinkType to remove

getIssueLinkTypes

Collection<IssueLinkType> getIssueLinkTypes()
Returns only user-defined (non-system) IssueLinkType objects

Returns:
the collection

getIssueLinkTypes

Collection<IssueLinkType> getIssueLinkTypes(boolean excludeSystemLinks)
Parameters:
excludeSystemLinks - whether or not to exclude system links
Returns:
the collection of IssueLinkType objects
See Also:
getIssueLinkTypes()

getIssueLinkType

IssueLinkType getIssueLinkType(Long id)
Returns a user-defined (non-system) issue link type object for the specified ID.

Parameters:
id - the id
Returns:
the issue link type object

getIssueLinkType

IssueLinkType getIssueLinkType(Long id,
                               boolean excludeSystemLinks)
Parameters:
id - the id of the issue link type
excludeSystemLinks - whether or not to exclude system links
Returns:
the issue link type object
See Also:
getIssueLinkType(Long)

getIssueLinkTypesByName

Collection<IssueLinkType> getIssueLinkTypesByName(String name)
Returns a collection of IssueLinkTypes with the given name. Actually this collection should always have either one or zero elements - it is illegal to have two link types with the same name.

Parameters:
name - The name to search for Issue Link Types by.
Returns:
a collection of IssueLinkTypes, or an empty collection if name isn't a link type. TODO: Reconsider this method. The GUI enforces unique names.

getIssueLinkTypesByInwardDescription

Collection<IssueLinkType> getIssueLinkTypesByInwardDescription(String desc)
Returns a collection of IssueLinkTypes with the given description as the inward description.

There is no restriction on inward and outward descriptions being unique across issue link types, which is why this may return more than one IssueLinkType.

Parameters:
desc - the inward description to search on
Returns:
the collection of matched issue link types; never null.
Since:
v4.0

getIssueLinkTypesByOutwardDescription

Collection<IssueLinkType> getIssueLinkTypesByOutwardDescription(String desc)
Returns a collection of IssueLinkTypes with the given description as the outward description.

There is no restriction on inward and outward descriptions being unique across issue link types, which is why this may return more than one IssueLinkType.

Parameters:
desc - the outward description to search on
Returns:
the collection of matched issue link types; never null.
Since:
v4.0

getIssueLinkTypesByStyle

Collection<IssueLinkType> getIssueLinkTypesByStyle(String style)
