Interface Slot

All Superinterfaces:

Element, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EModelElement, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject, org.eclipse.emf.common.notify.Notifier

public interface Slot
extends Element

A representation of the model object 'Slot'. A slot specifies that an entity modeled by an instance specification has a value or values for a specific structural feature.

The following features are supported:

• Defining Feature
• Value
• Owning Instance

See Also:

UMLPackage.getSlot()

Method Summary

ValueSpecification	createValue(java.lang.String name, Type type, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass) Creates a new ValueSpecification, with the specified 'Name', and 'Type', and appends it to the 'Value' containment reference list
StructuralFeature	getDefiningFeature() Returns the value of the 'Defining Feature' reference
InstanceSpecification	getOwningInstance() Returns the value of the 'Owning Instance' container reference.
ValueSpecification	getValue(java.lang.String name, Type type) Retrieves the first ValueSpecification with the specified 'Name', and 'Type' from the 'Value' containment reference list
ValueSpecification	getValue(java.lang.String name, Type type, boolean ignoreCase, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass, boolean createOnDemand) Retrieves the first ValueSpecification with the specified 'Name', and 'Type' from the 'Value' containment reference list
org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<ValueSpecification>	getValues() Returns the value of the 'Value' containment reference list.
void	setDefiningFeature(StructuralFeature value) Sets the value of the 'Defining Feature' reference
void	setOwningInstance(InstanceSpecification value) Sets the value of the 'Owning Instance' container reference

Method Detail

getOwningInstance

InstanceSpecification getOwningInstance()

Returns the value of the 'Owning Instance' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Slot'.

This feature subsets the following features:

• 'Owner'

The instance specification that owns this slot.

Returns:

the value of the 'Owning Instance' container reference.

See Also:

setOwningInstance(InstanceSpecification), UMLPackage.getSlot_OwningInstance(), InstanceSpecification.getSlots()

setOwningInstance

void setOwningInstance(InstanceSpecification value)

Sets the value of the 'Owning Instance' container reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Owning Instance' container reference.

See Also:

getOwningInstance()

getDefiningFeature

StructuralFeature getDefiningFeature()

Returns the value of the 'Defining Feature' reference. The structural feature that specifies the values that may be held by the slot.

Returns:

the value of the 'Defining Feature' reference.

See Also:

setDefiningFeature(StructuralFeature), UMLPackage.getSlot_DefiningFeature()

setDefiningFeature

void setDefiningFeature(StructuralFeature value)

Sets the value of the 'Defining Feature' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Defining Feature' reference.

See Also:

getDefiningFeature()

getValues

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<ValueSpecification> getValues()

Returns the value of the 'Value' containment reference list. The list contents are of type ValueSpecification.

This feature subsets the following features:

• 'Owned Element'

The value or values corresponding to the defining feature for the owning instance specification.

Returns:

the value of the 'Value' containment reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getSlot_Value()

createValue

ValueSpecification createValue(java.lang.String name,
                               Type type,
                               org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass)

Creates a new ValueSpecification, with the specified 'Name', and 'Type', and appends it to the 'Value' containment reference list.

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.

getValues()

getValue

ValueSpecification getValue(java.lang.String name,
                            Type type)

Retrieves the first ValueSpecification with the specified 'Name', and 'Type' from the 'Value' containment reference list.

Parameters:

name - The 'Name' of the ValueSpecification to retrieve, or null.

type - The 'Type' of the ValueSpecification to retrieve, or null.

Returns:

The first ValueSpecification with the specified 'Name', and 'Type', or null.

getValue

ValueSpecification getValue(java.lang.String name,
                            Type type,
                            boolean ignoreCase,
                            org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass,
                            boolean createOnDemand)

Retrieves the first ValueSpecification with the specified 'Name', and 'Type' from the 'Value' containment reference list.

Parameters:

name - The 'Name' of the ValueSpecification to retrieve, or null.

type - The 'Type' of the ValueSpecification to retrieve, or null.

ignoreCase - Whether to ignore case in String comparisons.

eClass - The Ecore class of the ValueSpecification to retrieve, or null.

createOnDemand - Whether to create a ValueSpecification on demand if not found.

Returns:

The first ValueSpecification with the specified 'Name', and 'Type', or null.
