sourceVariableName
String sourceVariableName
In a bidirectional relationship, the shadow side (= the follower side) uses this property (and nothing else) to declare for whichPlanningVariable
(= the leader side) it is a shadow.Both sides of a bidirectional relationship should be consistent: if A points to B, then B must point to A.
When the
Solver
changes a genuine variable, it adjusts the shadow variable accordingly. In practice, theSolver
ignores shadow variables (except for consistency housekeeping).- Returns:
- the variable property name on the opposite end of this bidirectional relationship
