public interface CwmStructuralFeature
extends CwmFeature

StructuralFeature object instance interface. A structural feature refers to a static feature of a model element. In the metamodel, a StructuralFeature declares a structural aspect of a Classifier that is typed, such as an attribute. For example, it specifies the multiplicity and changeability of the StructuralFeature. StructuralFeature is an abstract metaclass.

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 Detail

getChangeability

ChangeableKind getChangeability()

Returns the value of attribute changeability. Specifies whether the value may be modified after the object is created.

Returns:

Value of attribute changeability.

setChangeability

void setChangeability(ChangeableKind newValue)

Sets the value of changeability attribute. See getChangeability() for description on the attribute.

Parameters:

newValue - New value to be set.

getMultiplicity

CwmMultiplicity getMultiplicity()

Returns the value of attribute 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).

Returns:

Value of attribute multiplicity.

setMultiplicity

void setMultiplicity(CwmMultiplicity newValue)

Sets the value of multiplicity attribute. See getMultiplicity() for description on the attribute.

Parameters:

newValue - New value to be set.

getOrdering

OrderingKind getOrdering()

Returns the value of attribute 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.

Returns:

Value of attribute ordering.

setOrdering

void setOrdering(OrderingKind newValue)

Sets the value of ordering attribute. See getOrdering() for description on the attribute.

Parameters:

newValue - New value to be set.

getTargetScope

ScopeKind getTargetScope()

Returns the value of attribute targetScope. Specifies whether the targets are ordinary Instances or are Classifiers.

Returns:

Value of attribute targetScope.

setTargetScope

void setTargetScope(ScopeKind newValue)

Sets the value of targetScope attribute. See getTargetScope() for description on the attribute.

Parameters:

newValue - New value to be set.

getType

CwmClassifier getType()

Returns the value of reference type.

Returns:

Value of reference type.

setType

void setType(CwmClassifier newValue)

Sets the value of type reference. See getType() for description on the attribute.

Parameters:

newValue - New value to be set.
