Constructor Detail

Annotation

public Annotation(Institution owner,
                  CvTopic topic)

Parameters:

owner - The Institution which 'owns' this BioSource

topic - Refers to the controlled vocabulary topic this Annotation relates to. This should be non-null.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - thrown if no Institution specified.

Method Detail

getAnnotationText

public java.lang.String getAnnotationText()

setAnnotationText

public void setAnnotationText(java.lang.String annotationText)

getCvTopic

public CvTopic getCvTopic()

setCvTopic

public void setCvTopic(CvTopic cvTopic)

getCvTopicAc

public java.lang.String getCvTopicAc()

setCvTopicAc

public void setCvTopicAc(java.lang.String ac)

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Equality for Annotations is currently based on equality for CvTopics and annotationText (a String).

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - The object to check

Returns:

true if the parameter equals this object, false otherwise

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

toString in interface BasicObject

Overrides:
