Abstract class StructuralFeature

A StructuralFeature defines a static characteristic of the ModelElement that contains it. The attributes and references of a Class define structural properties, which provide for the representation of the state of its instances.

Method Detail

isChangeable

boolean isChangeable()

Retrieves the value for the attribute isChangeable.

The isChangeable attribute places restrictions on the use of certain operations, which could change the set of values or instances of the StructuralFeature, and on the operations that will get generated in IDL or other language generation. For any elaboration, no means are automatically created which provides a means of altering the attribute value. When IDL is generated, for instance, the operations, which are normally generated for changing the StructuralFeature, will not be generated. However, isChangeable does not actually constrain the StructuralFeature to make it immutable. Any operations explicitly defined in a model may change the StructuralFeature values or instances (assuming the operation would have otherwise been able to do so).

Returns:

The non-null value for attribute isChangeable.

setChangeable

void setChangeable(boolean isChangeable)

Sets a new value for the attribute isChangeable.

The isChangeable attribute places restrictions on the use of certain operations, which could change the set of values or instances of the StructuralFeature, and on the operations that will get generated in IDL or other language generation. For any elaboration, no means are automatically created which provides a means of altering the attribute value. When IDL is generated, for instance, the operations, which are normally generated for changing the StructuralFeature, will not be generated. However, isChangeable does not actually constrain the StructuralFeature to make it immutable. Any operations explicitly defined in a model may change the StructuralFeature values or instances (assuming the operation would have otherwise been able to do so).

Parameters:

isChangeable - The non-null new value for attribute isChangeable.

getMultiplicity

short getMultiplicity()

Retrieves the value for the attribute multiplicity.

Multiplicity defines constraints on the collection of instances or values that a StructuralFeature can hold. Multiplicity defines a lower and upper bound to the cardinality of the collection, although the upper bound can be specified as Unbounded.

Returns:

The non-null value for attribute multiplicity.

setMultiplicity

void setMultiplicity(short multiplicity)

Sets a new value for the attribute multiplicity.

Multiplicity defines constraints on the collection of instances or values that a StructuralFeature can hold. Multiplicity defines a lower and upper bound to the cardinality of the collection, although the upper bound can be specified as Unbounded.

Parameters:

multiplicity - The non-null new value for attribute multiplicity.

getUpperBound

Integer getUpperBound()

Retrieves the possibly null value for the optional attribute upperBound.

Returns:

The possibly null value for attribute upperBound.

setUpperBound

void setUpperBound(Integer upperBound)

Sets a new value for the attribute upperBound.

Parameters:

upperBound - The possibly null new value for attribute upperBound.
