Method Detail

ofType

E ofType(java.lang.String type)

Sets the type of elements to be matched by this element. By default, elements of subtypes are also matched. Call noDerivedTypes() to prevent matching subtypes.

Returns:

this object. The returned object can be used for method chaining.

ofITWorldType

E ofITWorldType()

Deprecated. use ofConfigurationItemType()

ofConfigurationItemType

E ofConfigurationItemType()

Specifies that this query element matches elements of it world types.

If the parent element is a QueryNode or a node-type element, this is equivalent to: withType("configuration_item").
Else, if the parent element is a QueryLink or a link-type element, this is equivalent to: withType("managed_relationship").

Returns:

this object. The returned object can be used for chaining.

strictlyOfType

E strictlyOfType(java.lang.String type)

Sets the exact type of this element and returns the element itself.

Returns:

this object. The returned object can be used for method chaining.
