      Returns:
      a Vector of BeanConnections

      Return a list of connections within some delta of a point
      Parameters:
      pt - the point at which to look for connections

    • removeConnections

      public static void removeConnections(BeanInstance instance)
      Remove all connections for a bean. If the bean is a target for receiving events then it gets deregistered from the corresonding source bean. If the bean is a source of events then all targets implementing BeanCommon are notified via their disconnectionNotification methods that the source (and hence the connection) is going away.
      Parameters:
      instance - the bean to remove connections to/from

      public boolean isHidden()
      Returns true if this connection is invisible
      Returns:
      true if connection is invisible

    • remove

      public void remove()
      Remove this connection

      Returns:
      a BeanInstance value

    • getEventName

      public String getEventName()
      Returns the name of the event for this conncetion
