Interface CwmExpressionClass

All Superinterfaces:

RefBaseObject, RefClass, RefFeatured

All Known Implementing Classes:

CwmExpressionClass$Hib

public interface CwmExpressionClass
extends RefClass

Expression class proxy interface. In the metamodel an Expression defines a statement which will evaluate to a (possibly empty) set of instances when executed in a context. An Expression does not modify the environment in which it is evaluated. An expression contains an expression string and the name of an interpretation language with which to evaluate the string.

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	createCwmExpression() The default factory operation used to create an instance object.

Method Detail

createCwmExpression

CwmExpression createCwmExpression()

The default factory operation used to create an instance object.

Returns:

The created instance object.

createCwmExpression

CwmExpression createCwmExpression(String body,
                                  String language)

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

Parameters:

body - The text of the expression expressed in the given language.

language - Names the language in which the expression body is represented. The interpretation of the expression depends on the language. If the language name is omitted, no interpretation for the expression can be assumed. In general, a language name should be spelled and capitalized exactly as it appears in the document defining the language. For example, use COBOL, not Cobol; use Ada, not ADA; use PostScript, not Postscript.

Returns:

The created instance object.
