implements AssociationEnd

Class AssociationEnd

An association is composed of two AssociationEnds. Each AssociationEnd defines a Classifier participant in the Association, the role it plays, and constraints on sets of the Classifier instances participating. An instance of an AssociationEnd is a LinkEnd, which defines a relationship between a link, in instance of an Association, and an instance of the AssociationEnd's Classifier, provided in its type attribute.

Method Detail

getMultiplicity

public short getMultiplicity()

Retrieves the value for the attribute multiplicity.

Multiplicity defines constraints on sets of instances. Each instance of the Classifier defined by the opposite AssociationEnd's type defines a set which this multiplicity attribute constrains. Given one of those instances, x, the set is defined as the instances connected by LinkEnds of this AssociationEnd to that instance x. In its use is describing AssociationEnds, isUnique has been constrained to be true, as a simplification. This constraint means that the same two instances cannot participate in more than one Link while participating under the same AssociationEnd. Normally, two instances cannot be linked by more than one Link of an Association at all. But when the AssociationEnd types allow the two instances switch ends, they can form a second Link without violating the isUnique constraint.

Specified by:

getMultiplicity in interface AssociationEnd

Returns:

The non-null value for attribute multiplicity.

setMultiplicity

public void setMultiplicity(short multiplicity)

Sets a new value for the attribute multiplicity.

Multiplicity defines constraints on sets of instances. Each instance of the Classifier defined by the opposite AssociationEnd's type defines a set which this multiplicity attribute constrains. Given one of those instances, x, the set is defined as the instances connected by LinkEnds of this AssociationEnd to that instance x.

Normally, two instances cannot be linked by more than one Link of an Association at all. But when the AssociationEnd types allow the two instances switch ends, they can form a second Link without violating the isUnique constraint.

Specified by:

setMultiplicity in interface AssociationEnd

Parameters:

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

getType

public Classifier getType()

Retrieves the value for the reference type.

Specified by:

getType in interface TypedElement

Returns:

The non-null value for this reference.

setType

public void setType(Classifier type)

Sets a new value for the reference type.

Specified by:

setType in interface TypedElement

Parameters:

type - The non-null new value for this reference.

getQualifierType

public <T extends Classifier> List<T> getQualifierType()

Retrieves the Collection of objects referenced by qualifierType.

Specified by:

getQualifierType in interface AssociationEnd

Returns:

The Collection of referenced objects.

getAggregation

public short getAggregation()

Retrieves the value for the attribute aggregation.

Certain associations define aggregations - directed associations with additional semantics. When an AssociationEnd is defined as composite or shared, the instance at 'this' end of a Link is the composite or aggregate, and the instance at the 'other' end is the component or subordinate..

Specified by:

getAggregation in interface AssociationEnd

Returns:

The non-null value for attribute aggregation.

setAggregation

public void setAggregation(short aggregation)

Sets a new value for the attribute aggregation.

Certain associations define aggregations - directed associations with additional semantics. When an AssociationEnd is defined as composite or shared, the instance at 'this' end of a Link is the composite or aggregate, and the instance at the 'other' end is the component or subordinate..

Specified by:

setAggregation in interface AssociationEnd

Parameters:

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

getQualifierName

public final List<String> getQualifierName()

Retrieves a list containing all the elements for the attribute qualifierName.

Specified by:

getQualifierName in interface AssociationEnd

Returns:

A list containing all elements for this attribute.

setQualifierName

public void setQualifierName(String... qualifierName)

Clears qualifierName and adds the given value(s).

This method is equivalent to

   list.clear();
   for(java.lang.String e : attributeName){
     list.add(e);
   }
 

Specified by:

setQualifierName in interface AssociationEnd

Parameters:

qualifierName - value(s) to be added to qualifierName

isChangeable

public boolean isChangeable()

Retrieves the value for the attribute isChangeable.

The isChangeable attribute restricts the capability to perform actions that would modify sets of instances corresponding to this AssociationEnd (the same sets to which multiplicity is applied). Specifically, the set may be created when the instance defining the set - the instance at the opposite end of the Links - is created. This attribute does not make the set immutable. Instead, it affects the generation of operations in Model Elaboration which would allow modification of the set. For IDL generation, the only operation that allows the set to be modified would be one or more factory operations that create the instance and create the set. The modeler is free to define specific operations that allow modification of the set. Note that defining this AssociationEnd with isChangeable equals false places restrictions on the changeability of the other AssociationEnd, due to their interdependence.

Specified by:

isChangeable in interface AssociationEnd

Returns:

The non-null value for attribute isChangeable.

setChangeable

public void setChangeable(boolean isChangeable)

Sets a new value for the attribute isChangeable.

The isChangeable attribute restricts the capability to perform actions that would modify sets of instances corresponding to this AssociationEnd (the same sets to which multiplicity is applied). Specifically, the set may be created when the instance defining the set - the instance at the opposite end of the Links - is created. This attribute does not make the set immutable. Instead, it affects the generation of operations in Model Elaboration which would allow modification of the set. For IDL generation, the only operation that allows the set to be modified would be one or more factory operations that create the instance and create the set. The modeler is free to define specific operations that allow modification of the set. Note that defining this AssociationEnd with isChangeable equals false places restrictions on the changeability of the other AssociationEnd, due to their interdependence.

Specified by:

setChangeable in interface AssociationEnd

Parameters:

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

getUpperBound

public final Integer getUpperBound()

Retrieves the possibly null value for the optional attribute upperBound.

Specified by:

getUpperBound in interface AssociationEnd

Returns:

The possibly null value for attribute upperBound.

setUpperBound

public void setUpperBound(Integer upperBound)

Sets a new value for the attribute upperBound.

Specified by:

setUpperBound in interface AssociationEnd

Parameters:

upperBound - The possibly null new value for attribute upperBound.

isNavigable

public boolean isNavigable()

Retrieves the value for the attribute isNavigable.

The isNavigable attribute determines whether or not the AssociationEnd supports link 'navigation'. This has two implications:

• A Class defined with an appropriate Reference supports navigation of links from one Class instance to another. If isNavigable is false for an AssociationEnd, no such References may be created.
• Setting isNavigable to false also suppress a mapping?s mechanisms for indexing links based on this AssociationEnd.

Specified by:

isNavigable in interface AssociationEnd

Returns:

The non-null value for attribute isNavigable.

setNavigable

public void setNavigable(boolean isNavigable)

Sets a new value for the attribute isNavigable.

The isNavigable attribute determines whether or not the AssociationEnd supports link 'navigation'. This has two implications:

• A Class defined with an appropriate Reference supports navigation of links from one Class instance to another. If isNavigable is false for an AssociationEnd, no such References may be created.
• Setting isNavigable to false also suppress a mapping?s mechanisms for indexing links based on this AssociationEnd.

Specified by:

setNavigable in interface AssociationEnd

Parameters:

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