getObjectReferences (IProcess, IEntity, String)
public Vector getObjectReferences (IProcessparent, IEntity refOwner, String refOwnerAttr) throws AccessDeniedException, ExecutionException;
This method is very similar to the getAllReferences method. However, it returns references as a collection of ObjectReference objects rather than IEntity objects. ObjectReference is a structure containing an object name and ID. If only names and ID's of the references are required calling this method is much more efficient than calling getAllReferences, which retrieves the values of all attributes.
Parameters
refOwner | the instance of the business object the references of which are retrieved |
refOwnerAttr | the name of the attribute of the business object the references of which are retrieved (must be of the reference type) |
Returns
The names and ID's of business objects referenced through the specified attribute as a vector of the ObjectReference objects or null if no instances are referenced through the specified attribute.
