The directive value identifying a cardinality type of single.

See Also
REQUIREMENT_CARDINALITY_DIRECTIVE
EFFECTIVE_ACTIVEback to summary
public static final String EFFECTIVE_ACTIVE

The directive value identifying a capability or requirement that is effective at active time. Capabilities and requirements with an effective time of active are ignored while resolving a resource.

See Also
REQUIREMENT_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVE, CAPABILITY_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVE
EFFECTIVE_RESOLVEback to summary
public static final String EFFECTIVE_RESOLVE

The directive value identifying a capability or requirement that is effective at resolve time. Capabilities and requirements with an effective time of resolve are the only capabilities which are processed while resolving a resource.

REQUIREMENT_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVE, CAPABILITY_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVE
REQUIREMENT_CARDINALITY_DIRECTIVEback to summary
public static final String REQUIREMENT_CARDINALITY_DIRECTIVE

The requirement directive used to specify the cardinality for a requirement. The default value is single.

multiple, single
REQUIREMENT_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVEback to summary
public static final String REQUIREMENT_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVE

The requirement directive used to specify the effective time for the requirement. The default value is resolve.

See Also
resolve, active
REQUIREMENT_FILTER_DIRECTIVEback to summary
public static final String REQUIREMENT_FILTER_DIRECTIVE

The requirement directive used to specify a capability filter. This filter is used to match against a capability's attributes.

REQUIREMENT_RESOLUTION_DIRECTIVEback to summary
public static final String REQUIREMENT_RESOLUTION_DIRECTIVE

The requirement directive used to specify the resolution type for a requirement. The default value is mandatory .

See Also
mandatory, optional
RESOLUTION_MANDATORYback to summary
public static final String RESOLUTION_MANDATORY

The directive value identifying a mandatory requirement resolution type. A mandatory resolution type indicates that the requirement must be resolved when the resource is resolved. If such a requirement cannot be resolved, the resource fails to resolve.

See Also
REQUIREMENT_RESOLUTION_DIRECTIVE
RESOLUTION_OPTIONALback to summary
public static final String RESOLUTION_OPTIONAL

The directive value identifying an optional requirement resolution type. An optional resolution type indicates that the requirement is optional and the resource may be resolved without the requirement being resolved.
