Method Detail

getConnection

List<INodeConnectorItem> getConnection(IOptimizationElement fromElement,
                                       IOptimizationElement toElement,
                                       IResource visitor)

Gets the connection. Further, a list of arbitrary additional connections can be provided to prevent this method to be called again. This makes sense if an other connection will be also used with a high likeliness.

fromElement - the from element

toElement - the to element

visitor - the visitor

Returns:

the connection

getConnections

List<INodeConnectorItem> getConnections(Map<IOptimizationElement,List<IOptimizationElement>> desiredConnections,
                                        IConnectionProviderCaller caller)

Gets the connections.

Parameters:

desiredConnections - the desired connections

caller - the caller

Returns:

the connections

getJSONConnectionSerializationMode

IExternalConnectionProvider.JSONConnectionSerializationMode getJSONConnectionSerializationMode()

Gets the JSON connection serialization mode.
