Class AncestorControl



  • public class AncestorControl
    extends HierarchyControl

    Java class for AncestorControl complex type.

    The following schema fragment specifies the expected content contained within this class.

     <complexType name="AncestorControl">
     <complexContent>
     <extension base="{http://www.ibm.com/websphere/wim}HierarchyControl">
     </extension>
     </complexContent>
     </complexType>
     

    The AncestorControl object extends the HierarchyControl object.

    AncestorControl is used in the input Root object of the get() API to request ancestors of the entity. If AncestorControl is added to the Root object in the get() operation, this means the ancestors of the entities under the Root object will be returned in the returning Root object.

    Besides indicating whether or not to return ancestors, AncestorControl can also be used for specifying the properties returned for ancestors as well as the level of ancestor to be returned.

    • 0 - return all ancestors
    • 1 - return only the parent
    • 2 - return the parent and grandparent
    • Any level greater than 2 will return that specified number of ancestors

    Since AncestorControl is also extended from SearchControl, it is possible to specify other search properties such as countLimit, and timeLimit in AncestorControl to only return the ancestors which satisfies the search criteria.
