Interface ClassifierFeature

All Superinterfaces:

RefAssociation, RefBaseObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassifierFeature$Hib

public interface ClassifierFeature
extends RefAssociation

ClassifierFeature association proxy interface. The ClassifierFeature association provides a composite aggregation containment relationship between Classifiers and the Features they own. The feature end of the association is ordered allowing preservation of the ordering of Features within their owning Classifier. A Feature can be owned by at most one Classifier. The optional character of ownership is intended as a convenience to tools, allowing them to create Features prior to linking them to their owning Classifier.

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(CwmClassifier owner, CwmFeature feature) Creates a link between the pair of instance objects in the associations link set.
boolean	exists(CwmClassifier owner, CwmFeature feature) Queries whether a link currently exists between a given pair of instance objects in the associations link set.
List<CwmFeature>	getFeature(CwmClassifier owner) Queries the instance objects that are related to a particular instance object by a link in the current associations link set.
CwmClassifier	getOwner(CwmFeature feature) Queries the instance object that is related to a particular instance object by a link in the current associations link set.
boolean	remove(CwmClassifier owner, CwmFeature feature) Removes a link between a pair of instance objects in the current associations link set.

Method Detail

exists

boolean exists(CwmClassifier owner,
               CwmFeature feature)

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

Parameters:

owner - Value of the first association end.

feature - Value of the second association end.

Returns:

Returns true if the queried link exists.

getOwner

CwmClassifier getOwner(CwmFeature feature)

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

Parameters:

feature - Required value of the second association end.

Returns:

Related object or null if none exists.

getFeature

List<CwmFeature> getFeature(CwmClassifier owner)

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

Parameters:

owner - Required value of the first association end.

Returns:

List of related objects.

add

boolean add(CwmClassifier owner,
            CwmFeature feature)

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

Parameters:

owner - Value of the first association end.

feature - Value of the second association end.

remove

boolean remove(CwmClassifier owner,
               CwmFeature feature)

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

Parameters:

owner - Value of the first association end.

feature - Value of the second association end.
