public class IntegrityException

extends AutoMedException

An attempt has be made to alter the repository (or data structure representing it) in a way that would make it inconsistent. This most often occurs when a user attempts to delete an object (e.g. a Construct) for which other objects (e.g. SchemaObject) If the above is not the case, then there must be a bug in the AutoMed system, which should be reported.
