Class RelationshipType

java.lang.Object

org.openmrs.BaseOpenmrsObject

org.openmrs.BaseOpenmrsMetadata

org.openmrs.RelationshipType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Auditable, OpenmrsMetadata, OpenmrsObject, Retireable

public class RelationshipType
extends BaseOpenmrsMetadata
implements Serializable

Defines a type of relationship between two people in the database.

A relationship is two-way. There is a name for the relationship in both directions.

For example:
a) physician Joe
b) patient Bob
Joe is the "physician of" Bob and Bob is the patient of Joe. Once you can establish one of the two relationships, you automatically know the other.

ALL relationships are two-way and can be defined as such.

RelationshipTypes should be defined as gender non-specific For example: A mother and her son. Instead of having a RelationshipType defined as mother-son, it should be defined as Parent-child. (This avoids the duplicative types that would come out like father-son, father-daughter, mother-daughter)

In English, we run into a tricky RelationshipType with aunts and uncles. We have chosen to define them as aunt/uncle-niece/nephew.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares two RelationshipTypes for similarity

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - RelationshipType to compare to this object

Returns:

boolean true/false whether or not they are the same objects

See Also:

Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

getRelationshipTypeId

public Integer getRelationshipTypeId()

Returns:

Returns the relationshipTypeId.

setRelationshipTypeId

public void setRelationshipTypeId(Integer relationshipTypeId)

Parameters:

relationshipTypeId - The relationshipTypeId to set.

getWeight

public Integer getWeight()

Returns:

the weight

setWeight

public void setWeight(Integer weight)

Parameters:

weight - the weight to set

getaIsToB

public String getaIsToB()

The java bean specifications says that if an attribute has the second letter capitalized (as the "I" is), the initial "a" is not to be capitalized. Both Spring and Hibernate use this "getter" definition

Returns:

the aIsToB

setaIsToB

public void setaIsToB(String aisToB)

Parameters:

aisToB - the aIsToB to set

getbIsToA

public String getbIsToA()

Returns:

the bIsToA

isPreferred

public Boolean isPreferred()

"Preferred" relationship types are those that should be shown as default types when adding/editing a person's relationships

Returns:

the preferred status

setPreferred

public void setPreferred(Boolean preferred)

"Preferred" relationship types are those that should be shown as default types when adding/editing a person's relationships

Parameters:

preferred - sets the preferred status of this relationship type

setbIsToA

public void setbIsToA(String bisToA)

Parameters:

bisToA - the bIsToA to set

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

See Also:

Object.toString()

getId

public Integer getId()

Specified by:

getId in interface OpenmrsObject

Returns:

id - The unique Identifier for the object

Since:

1.5

See Also:

OpenmrsObject.getId()

setId

public void setId(Integer id)

Specified by:

setId in interface OpenmrsObject

Parameters:
