public interface InstanceSpecification
extends DeploymentTarget, PackageableElement, DeployedArtifact

A representation of the model object 'Instance Specification'. An instance specification is a model element that represents an instance in a modeled system. An instance specification has the capability of being a deployment target in a deployment relationship, in the case that it is an instance of a node. It is also has the capability of being a deployed artifact, if it is an instance of an artifact.

The following features are supported:

Method Detail

getClassifiers

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<Classifier> getClassifiers()
Returns the value of the 'Classifier' reference list. The list contents are of type Classifier. The classifier or classifiers of the represented instance. If multiple classifiers are specified, the instance is classified by all of them.

Returns:
the value of the 'Classifier' reference list.
See Also:
UMLPackage.getInstanceSpecification_Classifier()

getClassifier

Classifier getClassifier(java.lang.String name)
Retrieves the first Classifier with the specified 'Name' from the 'Classifier' reference list.

Parameters:
name - The 'Name' of the Classifier to retrieve, or null.
Returns:
The first Classifier with the specified 'Name', or null.
See Also:
getClassifiers()

getClassifier

Classifier getClassifier(java.lang.String name,
                         boolean ignoreCase,
                         org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass)
Retrieves the first Classifier with the specified 'Name' from the 'Classifier' reference list.

Parameters:
name - The 'Name' of the Classifier to retrieve, or null.
ignoreCase - Whether to ignore case in String comparisons.
eClass - The Ecore class of the Classifier to retrieve, or null.
Returns:
The first Classifier with the specified 'Name', or null.
See Also:
getClassifiers()

getSpecification

ValueSpecification getSpecification()
Returns the value of the 'Specification' containment reference.

This feature subsets the following features:

A specification of how to compute, derive, or construct the instance.

Returns:
the value of the 'Specification' containment reference.
See Also:
setSpecification(ValueSpecification), UMLPackage.getInstanceSpecification_Specification()

setSpecification

void setSpecification(ValueSpecification value)
Sets the value of the 'Specification' containment reference.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Specification' containment reference.
See Also:
getSpecification()

createSpecification

ValueSpecification createSpecification(java.lang.String name,
                                       Type type,
                                       org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass)
Creates a new ValueSpecification, with the specified 'Name', and 'Type', and sets the 'Specification' containment reference.

Parameters:
name - The 'Name' for the new ValueSpecification, or null.
type - The 'Type' for the new ValueSpecification, or null.
eClass - The Ecore class of the ValueSpecification to create.
Returns:
The new ValueSpecification.

It is not necessary to model a slot for each structural feature, in which case the instance specification is a partial description.

Returns:
the value of the 'Slot' containment reference list.
