    public class AssignmentObjectRelation
    extends Object
    implements DebugDumpable, ShortDumpable, Serializable
    Assignment object relation specification. Data structure that contains information about possible assignment targets or holders for a particular object and possible relation/archetype combinations. This data structure is used in two related, but slight distinct cases: looking for assignment targets and looking for assignment holders. In both cases this structure describes candidate objects on the "other side" of the assignment. For the "target" case, simply speaking, those are object types that can be targets of assignments for this object and the respective relations. This means "what assignments can I have" or "what are the valid targets for relations that I hold". It is the reverse of assignmentRelation definition in AssignmentType in schema. For the "holder" case it is a reverse of the above. In that case it specifies objects that ca be potential members. If objectType, archetype or relation is null then there is no constraint for that specific aspect. E.g. if the archetypeRefs is null then any archetype is allowed. If objectType, archetype or relation is empty list then no value for that particular aspect is allowed. Which means that this specification does not really allow anything. This should not really happen when used in ArchetypeInteractionSpecification as such specification would be meaningless. If more that one targetType, archetype or relation is specified then all possible combinations of those values are allowed (carthesian product).

        Description copied from interface: ShortDumpable
        Show the content of the object intended for diagnostics. This method is supposed to append a compact, human-readable output in a single line. Unlike toString() method, there is no requirement to identify the actual class or type of the object. It is assumed that the class/type will be obvious from the context in which the output is used.
        Specified by:
        shortDump in interface ShortDumpable
        Parameters:
        sb - StringBuilder to which to a compact one-line content of the object intended for diagnostics by system administrator should be appended.
