There are three kinds of link relations associated with resources. A self link contains a versioned link to the resource. These links should be used in cases where the link will be followed immediately. A bookmark link provides a permanent link to a resource that is appropriate for long term storage. An alternate link can contain an alternate representation of the resource. For example, an OpenStack Compute image may have an alternate representation in the OpenStack Image service. Note that the type attribute here is used to provide a hint as to the type of representation to expect when following the link.

Returns:

the relation of the resource in the current OpenStack deployment

getHref

public URI getHref()

Returns:

the href of the resource

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode
