public interface ProtocolTransition
extends Transition

A representation of the model object 'Protocol Transition'. A protocol transition specifies a legal transition for an operation. Transitions of protocol state machines have the following information: a pre condition (guard), on trigger, and a post condition. Every protocol transition is associated to zero or one operation (referred BehavioralFeature) that belongs to the context classifier of the protocol state machine.

The following features are supported:

• Post Condition
• Referred
• Pre Condition

Method Detail

getPostCondition

Constraint getPostCondition()

Returns the value of the 'Post Condition' reference.

This feature subsets the following features:

• 'Owned Rule'

Specifies the post condition of the transition which is the condition that should be obtained once the transition is triggered. This post condition is part of the post condition of the operation connected to the transition.

Returns:

the value of the 'Post Condition' reference.

See Also:

setPostCondition(Constraint), UMLPackage.getProtocolTransition_PostCondition()

setPostCondition

void setPostCondition(Constraint value)

Sets the value of the 'Post Condition' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Post Condition' reference.

See Also:

Constraint createPostCondition(java.lang.String name,
                               org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass)

Creates a new Constraint, with the specified 'Name', and sets the 'Post Condition' reference.

Parameters:

name - The 'Name' for the new Constraint, or null.
