Interface ClassifierAlias

All Superinterfaces:

RefAssociation, RefBaseObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassifierAlias$Hib

public interface ClassifierAlias
extends RefAssociation

ClassifierAlias association proxy interface. The ClassifierAlias association connects TypeAlias instances with the Classifier instances which they rename.

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 type, CwmTypeAlias alias) Creates a link between the pair of instance objects in the associations link set.
boolean	exists(CwmClassifier type, CwmTypeAlias alias) Queries whether a link currently exists between a given pair of instance objects in the associations link set.
Collection<CwmTypeAlias>	getAlias(CwmClassifier type) Queries the instance objects that are related to a particular instance object by a link in the current associations link set.
CwmClassifier	getType(CwmTypeAlias alias) Queries the instance object that is related to a particular instance object by a link in the current associations link set.
boolean	remove(CwmClassifier type, CwmTypeAlias alias) Removes a link between a pair of instance objects in the current associations link set.

Method Detail

exists

boolean exists(CwmClassifier type,
               CwmTypeAlias alias)

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

Parameters:

type - Value of the first association end.

alias - Value of the second association end.

Returns:

Returns true if the queried link exists.

getType

CwmClassifier getType(CwmTypeAlias alias)

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

Parameters:

alias - Required value of the second association end.

Returns:

Related object or null if none exists.

getAlias

Collection<CwmTypeAlias> getAlias(CwmClassifier type)

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

Parameters:

type - Required value of the first association end.

Returns:

Collection of related objects.

add

boolean add(CwmClassifier type,
            CwmTypeAlias alias)

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

Parameters:

type - Value of the first association end.

alias - Value of the second association end.

remove

boolean remove(CwmClassifier type,
               CwmTypeAlias alias)

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

Parameters:

type - Value of the first association end.

alias - Value of the second association end.
