[TM4J-users] Query re: topic.getRolesPlayed

[Carmel M. <car...@oc...>]

Hi,

I'm a student using tm4j in my final year project, so please bear with me if
i've got this wrong!

I've got a simple topic map, with topics A,B.
B is an instance of A.

A.getRolesPlayed returns a collection with one element.
Should this not be empty? Or does the instanceOf element in B count as an
association?

If this is correct, how do I find a topic's associations, excluding
instances of that topic?

Keep up the good work!
Carmel
