Interface CwmAttributeClass

All Superinterfaces:

RefBaseObject, RefClass, RefFeatured

All Known Implementing Classes:

CwmAttributeClass$Hib

public interface CwmAttributeClass
extends RefClass

Attribute class proxy 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.

CwmAttribute	createCwmAttribute(String name, VisibilityKind visibility, ScopeKind ownerScope, ChangeableKind changeability, CwmMultiplicity multiplicity, OrderingKind ordering, ScopeKind targetScope, CwmExpression initialValue) Creates an instance object having attributes initialized by the passed values.

Method Detail

createCwmAttribute

CwmAttribute createCwmAttribute()

The default factory operation used to create an instance object.

Returns:

The created instance object.

createCwmAttribute

CwmAttribute createCwmAttribute(String name,
                                VisibilityKind visibility,
                                ScopeKind ownerScope,
                                ChangeableKind changeability,
                                CwmMultiplicity multiplicity,
                                OrderingKind ordering,
                                ScopeKind targetScope,
                                CwmExpression initialValue)

Creates an instance object having attributes initialized by the passed values.

Parameters:

name - An identifier for the ModelElement within its containing Namespace.

visibility - Specifies extent of the visibility of the ModelElement within its owning Namespace.

ownerScope - Specifies whether the Feature appears in every instance of the Classifier or whether it appears only once for the entire Classifier.

changeability - Specifies whether the value may be modified after the object is created.

multiplicity - The possible number of data values for the feature that may be held by an instance. The cardinality of the set of values is an implicit part of the feature. In the common case in which the multiplicity is 1..1, then the feature is a scalar (i.e., it holds exactly one value).

ordering - Specifies whether the set of instances is ordered. The ordering must be determined and maintained by Operations that add values to the feature. This property is only relevant if the multiplicity is greater than one.

targetScope - Specifies whether the targets are ordinary Instances or are Classifiers.

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:

The created instance object.
