Interface OperationMethod

All Superinterfaces:

RefAssociation, RefBaseObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

OperationMethod$Hib

public interface OperationMethod
extends RefAssociation

OperationMethod association proxy interface. The OperationMethod association links an Operation with the Method instance(s) that realize it. The various Method instances represent alternative implementations (usually in different programming languages or environments) of the Operation.

Note: This type should not be subclassed, implemented or directly instantiated by clients. It is generated from a MOF metamodel and implemented by Enki or MDR.

Method Summary

boolean	add(CwmOperation specification, CwmMethod method) Creates a link between the pair of instance objects in the associations link set.
boolean	exists(CwmOperation specification, CwmMethod method) Queries whether a link currently exists between a given pair of instance objects in the associations link set.
Collection<CwmMethod>	getMethod(CwmOperation specification) Queries the instance objects that are related to a particular instance object by a link in the current associations link set.
CwmOperation	getSpecification(CwmMethod method) Queries the instance object that is related to a particular instance object by a link in the current associations link set.
boolean	remove(CwmOperation specification, CwmMethod method) Removes a link between a pair of instance objects in the current associations link set.

Method Detail

exists

boolean exists(CwmOperation specification,
               CwmMethod method)

Queries whether a link currently exists between a given pair of instance objects in the associations link set.

Parameters:

specification - Value of the first association end.

method - Value of the second association end.

Returns:

Returns true if the queried link exists.

getSpecification

CwmOperation getSpecification(CwmMethod method)

Queries the instance object that is related to a particular instance object by a link in the current associations link set.

Parameters:

method - Required value of the second association end.

Returns:

Related object or null if none exists.

getMethod

Collection<CwmMethod> getMethod(CwmOperation specification)

Queries the instance objects that are related to a particular instance object by a link in the current associations link set.

Parameters:

specification - Required value of the first association end.

Returns:

Collection of related objects.

add

boolean add(CwmOperation specification,
            CwmMethod method)

Creates a link between the pair of instance objects in the associations link set.

Parameters:

specification - Value of the first association end.

method - Value of the second association end.

remove

boolean remove(CwmOperation specification,
               CwmMethod method)

Removes a link between a pair of instance objects in the current associations link set.

Parameters:

specification - Value of the first association end.

method - Value of the second association end.
