public interface HierarchicalMboRemote
extends java.rmi.Remote

Interface that must be implemented if an object can be represented as a hierarchy.

For efficiency, the Mbo may need a non-persistent attribute to indicate when the Mbo has Mbos underneath it in the hierarchy. At a minimum the mbo requires OBJECTNAME, HASCHILDREN, HASPARENTS as non-persistent attributes if they don't exist on the mbo.

Hierarchical Mbo Implementation

Mbo should implement HierarchicalMboRemote interface if it will be a part of hierarchy. The key field class of hierarchical mbo has to extend from FldMboKey class. For example in Asset the Asset mbo has to implement HierarchicalMboRemote and FldAssetnum has to extend from FldMboKey. If the added mbo in hierarchy is a new mbo then in add() object can set the value of the parent.

See Also:

The Mbo's MboSet must extend from this class., The Mbo's MboSetRemote must extend from this class.
