Interface LinkEndData

public interface LinkEndData
extends Element

A representation of the model object 'Link End Data'. A link end data is not an action. It is an element that identifies links. It identifies one end of a link to be read or written by the children of a link action. A link cannot be passed as a runtime value to or from an action. Instead, a link is identified by its end objects and qualifier values, if any. This requires more than one piece of data, namely, the statically-specified end in the user model, the object on the end, and the qualifier values for that end, if any. These pieces are brought together around a link end data. Each association end is identified separately with an instance of the LinkEndData class.

The following features are supported:

• Value
• End
• Qualifier

UMLPackage.getLinkEndData()

Method Summary

QualifierValue	createQualifier() Creates a new QualifierValue and appends it to the 'Qualifier' containment reference list
Property	getEnd() Returns the value of the 'End' reference
org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<QualifierValue>	getQualifiers() Returns the value of the 'Qualifier' containment reference list.
InputPin	getValue() Returns the value of the 'Value' reference
void	setEnd(Property value) Sets the value of the 'End' reference
void	setValue(InputPin value) Sets the value of the 'Value' reference
boolean	validateEndObjectInputPin(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context) The end object input pin is not also a qualifier value input pin.
boolean	validateMultiplicity(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context) The multiplicity of the end object input pin must be 1..1.
boolean	validatePropertyIsAssociationEnd(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context) The property must be an association end.
boolean	validateQualifiers(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context) The qualifiers include all and only the qualifiers of the association end.
boolean	validateSameType(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context) The type of the end object input pin is the same as the type of the association end.

Method Detail

getValue

InputPin getValue()

Returns the value of the 'Value' reference. Input pin that provides the specified object for the given end. This pin is omitted if the link-end data specifies an 'open' end for reading.

Returns:

the value of the 'Value' reference.

See Also:

setValue(InputPin), UMLPackage.getLinkEndData_Value()

setValue

void setValue(InputPin value)

Sets the value of the 'Value' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Value' reference.

See Also:

getValue()

getEnd

Property getEnd()

Returns the value of the 'End' reference. Association end for which this link-end data specifies values.

Returns:

the value of the 'End' reference.

See Also:

setEnd(Property), UMLPackage.getLinkEndData_End()

setEnd

void setEnd(Property value)

Sets the value of the 'End' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'End' reference.

See Also:

getEnd()

getQualifiers

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<QualifierValue> getQualifiers()

Returns the value of the 'Qualifier' containment reference list. The list contents are of type QualifierValue. List of qualifier values

Returns:

the value of the 'Qualifier' containment reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getLinkEndData_Qualifier()

createQualifier

QualifierValue createQualifier()

Creates a new QualifierValue and appends it to the 'Qualifier' containment reference list.

Returns:

The new QualifierValue.

getQualifiers()

validatePropertyIsAssociationEnd

boolean validatePropertyIsAssociationEnd(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                                         java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context)

The property must be an association end. self.end.association->size() = 1

Parameters:

diagnostics - The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context - The cache of context-specific information.

validateSameType

boolean validateSameType(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                         java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context)

The type of the end object input pin is the same as the type of the association end. self.value.type = self.end.type

Parameters:

diagnostics - The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context - The cache of context-specific information.

validateMultiplicity

boolean validateMultiplicity(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                             java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context)

The multiplicity of the end object input pin must be 1..1. self.value.multiplicity.is(1,1)

Parameters:

diagnostics - The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context - The cache of context-specific information.

validateQualifiers

boolean validateQualifiers(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                           java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context)

The qualifiers include all and only the qualifiers of the association end. self.qualifier->collect(qualifier) = self.end.qualifier

Parameters:

diagnostics - The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context - The cache of context-specific information.

validateEndObjectInputPin

The end object input pin is not also a qualifier value input pin. self.value->excludesAll(self.qualifier.value)

Parameters:

diagnostics - The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context - The cache of context-specific information.
