Set unique names

We can set unique names for resources.

To set the unique name for a resource...

1. Obtain a modifiable instance of the resource for which to set the unique name.

2. Check whether the resource implements the ModifiableIdentifiable interface. To do this, use the operator instanceof. If the resource does not implement the ModifiableIdentifiable interface, we cannot modify it.

3. Obtain a modifiable instance of the resource object IDthat is ModifiableObjectID. To do this, use the getModifiableObjectID.

4. Set the unique name using the setUniqueName() method of the ModifiableObjectID.

Example - Setting unique names:

// obtain modifiable instance of a model node final Modifiable modifiable = controller.getModifiableNode(node); 

// obtain modifiable instance of the resource's object id; note that modifiable  
// instances of all model nodes implement the ModifiableIdentifiable interface final ModifiableObjectID modifiableObjectID = ((ModifiableIdentifiable) 
modifiable).getModifiableObjectID();

// set unique name modifiableObjectID.setUniqueName("MyUniqueName");
