public interface CwmAttribute
extends CwmStructuralFeature

Attribute object instance interface. An Attribute describes a named slot within a classifier that may hold a value.

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

CwmExpression	getInitialValue() Returns the value of attribute initialValue.
void	setInitialValue(CwmExpression newValue) Sets the value of initialValue attribute.

Method Detail

getInitialValue

CwmExpression getInitialValue()

Returns the value of attribute initialValue. An Expression specifying the value of the attribute upon initialization. It is meant to be evaluated at the time the object is initialized. (Note that an explicit constructor may supersede an initial value.)

Returns:

Value of attribute initialValue.

setInitialValue

void setInitialValue(CwmExpression newValue)

Sets the value of initialValue attribute. See getInitialValue() for description on the attribute.

Parameters:

newValue - New value to be set.
