                          throws IDMapperException

Default implementation of mapID. This just calls

mapID (Set<Xref>, Set<DataSource>)

for mapping multiple id's with a set containing only a single Xref. Get all cross-references for the given entity, restricting the result to contain only references from the given set of data sources.

Specified by:

mapID in interface IDMapper

Parameters:

srcRef - the entity to get cross-references for.

tgtDataSources - target ID types/data sources. Set this to null if you want to retrieve all results.

Returns:

A Set containing the cross references, or an empty Set when no cross references could be found. This method does not return null.

Throws:

IDMapperException - if the mapping service is (temporarily) unavailable
