public interface IWorkflowBpmnDataAssociationEdgeBuilder
extends IWorkflowBpmnAssociationLikeEdgeBuilder<IWorkflowBpmnDataAssociationEdgeBuilder, de.xima.bpmn_model.api.element.bpmn.data.ItemAwareElement<?>>

Builder for creating a BPMN edge for a DataAssociation between a source and a target, used by IFlattenedAlignmentItemMap.dataAssociation().

When modelling a workflow element as BPMN, the usual approach is to create a nested tree of alignment items, making use of the layouter. This tree then gets resolved to a flat map. Finally, the various method on IFlattenedAlignmentItemMap can be used to create the BPMN shapes, BPMN edges, associations, and data associations.

Since:

8.4.0

<DA extends de.xima.bpmn_model.api.element.bpmn.data.DataAssociation<?>>
de.xima.bpmn_model.api.element.bpmndi.BpmnEdge build(DA dataAssociation)

Creates a BPMN edge for the given data association between the configured source and target.

Type Parameters:

DA - The type of the data association, either DataInputAssociation or DataOutputAssociation.

Parameters:

dataAssociation - The data association for which to build the BPMN edge.

Returns:

The newly created BPMN edge for the data association.
