Class MdmLinkFactory<M extends IMdmLink>

java.lang.Object

ca.uhn.fhir.mdm.dao.MdmLinkFactory<M>

public class MdmLinkFactory<M extends IMdmLink>
extends Object

Creates a new IMdmLink either with the current IMdmSettings.getRuleVersion() or with a null version.
**Use extreme caution**. The recommended practice is to only use (@link #newMdmLink()} when WRITING an MDM record.
Otherwise, there is the risk that code that searches for an MDM record fill fail to locate it due to a version mismatch.
Database code makes use of SpringData Example queries.
