Methods

  Name Description
Public method CreateAdapter(ModelBusReference) Attempts to create and return a new adapter instance for the supplied reference, which can be a model reference or a model element reference.
Public method CreateAdapter(ModelBusReference, IServiceProvider) Attempts to create and return a new adapter instance for the supplied reference. Allows a service provider to be supplied.
Public method DeserializeReference Deserializes the supplied string and returns a ModelBusReference.
Public method FindAdapterManagers Returns a list of ModelBusAdapter managers that can create ModelBusReferences to the specified object. The location information can be in any form that can be recognized by an available adapter manager, such as the file path of a DSL model file.
Public method GetAdapterManager Locate a ModelBusAdapterManager instance using its ID. Throws an exception if not found.
Public method GetService Gets the service object of the specified type. (Inherited from IServiceProvider.)
Public method LogError Logs an error message.
Public method SerializeReference Serializes the supplied reference to a string that can be persisted by the caller. If there is ReferenceContext information attached to the reference, you will have to provide equivalent context information when the string is deserialized.
