- Method Detail
  - checkInstantiability
```
void checkInstantiability()
                   throws IllegalInstantiationException
```
    This method checks if the data class can be instantiated.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalInstantiationException
  - createSubclass
```
DataClass createSubclass(String name)
                  throws IllegalInstantiationException,
                         NameAlreadyExistsException
```
    This method creates none system sub classes that are defined by the user. It is not possible to create sub-classes for abstract system classes. In that case a IllegalInstantiationException will be thrown.
    Each data class has a unique name. This name must be given to this method. If the name already exists, a NameAlreadyExistsException will be thrown. The name can be used to access the data class from the data model by using the method Model.getClass(String).
    The class is automatically added to the model. To remove the class again you must use the method Model.removeClass(String).
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - The uniqe name of the new sub class.
    
    Returns:
    
    The new sub class.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalInstantiationException
    
    NameAlreadyExistsException
    
    See Also:
    
    Model.removeClass(String)
  - addSubclass
```
void addSubclass(DataClass subclass)
```
    Adds a givenn subclass to the subclassList.
    
    Parameters:
    
    subclass - The subclass which gets added to the subclassList
  - removeSubclass
```
void removeSubclass(DataClass subclass)
```
    Removes a subclass from the subclassList.
    
    Parameters:
    
    subclass - The subclass which gets removed from the subclassList
  - finishEditing
```
void finishEditing()
            throws ClassHierarchyConsistencyException
```
    To instantiate classes it is necessary to know if the class can be edited further. Only finished classes can be instantiated. Therefore, it is necessary to call this method to tell the system that the class is ready defined. Nevertheless, finishing a class can fail because of an inconsistency in the class hierarchy. One of the superclasses is not consistence with this class.
    
    Throws:
    
    ClassHierarchyConsistencyException - if any.

    This methods returns an array of all direct sub classes of this class. This does not include system classes or sub sub classes and so on. Only the direct ones.
    
    Returns:
    
    An array of sub classes for this DataClasses or an empty array but never null.
  - getSuperClass
```
DataClass getSuperClass()
```
    Each data class has a super class from that the class is inherited. This class can be get with this method. If this method is used on the root data class null will be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    The parent class or super class of this class or null if this class is the root class.
  - getSuperClasses
```
DataClass[] getSuperClasses()
```
    Sometimes it can be necessary to have the inheritance hierarchy of the class. This hierarchy can be accessed with this method.
    
    Returns:
    
    All super classes in the class hierarchy including the system super classes.
  - getSystemSuperClass
```
DataClass getSystemSuperClass()
```
    Instead of receiving the super class of this class ( getSuperClass()) this class returns the first super class in the class hierarchy that is a system class.
    
    Returns:
    
    The first system super class in the class hierarchy.
  - includeClass
```
boolean includeClass(DataClass anotherClass)
```

    Some data classes contain other data classes. For example, AggregateClasses contain as attribute type other data classes or CollectionClasses have one element type which is also a data class.
    To prevent an infinite loop, this method does not recursive navigates through all element classes. Only the element of the class are checked but not, if the elements include the given anotherClass.
    
    Parameters:
    
    anotherClass - The data class that has to be checked for references

    isNESTWorkflowNode.
    
    Returns:

  - newObject
```
DataObject newObject()
              throws IllegalInstantiationException
```
    Creates a new DataObject and initialize it. DataObjects can not be created directly because they depend on the DataClass that defines the object.
    The creation of a new object is only be possible if checkInstantiability() throws no exception.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new DataObject
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalInstantiationException - is thrown if it is not possible to create an object this data class
  - getObjectClass
```
Class<? extends DataObject> getObjectClass()
```
    getObjectClass.
    
    Returns:
    
    Class of the corresponding data object
  - setName
```
String setName(String name)
        throws IllegalEditException,
               NameAlreadyExistsException
```
    The name of a data class must be unique in the data model. If this is not the case, the NameAlreadyExistsException will be thrown. To rename the data class tthis method can be used, too.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - A unique name of the data class.
    
    Returns:
    
    The name of the class.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalEditException
    
    NameAlreadyExistsException
