Documentation

Definition

The association binding category defines the source of the value for filtering the association result.

Use

The association binding category is used to define from where the values for filtering the result of one association comes. The values can be bound to the following:

• A constant (defined in a constant interface)
• An association parameter attribute
• An attribute of the source node

Dependencies

A constant can only be assigned through a constant interface.

An association parameter value can only be assigned if the association has a parameter to filter.

An attribute of the source node can only be assigned if the resolving node for the association is the source node.

Example

Bindings for special associations are, for example:

• Specializations usually have a binding on the parent node ID and some constant values (for example, party role)
• Associations with parameters usually have a binding for the parameter attributes
