public interface CwmEnumerationClass
extends RefClass

Enumeration class proxy interface. The Enumeration class is intended as a starting point from which enumerated data types can be created. An enumerated data type is a collection of identifiers often used as the permitted states that some other attribute or property of the enumerated type may take. The isOrdered attribute of an Enumeration instance is used to determine if the ordered constraint on the EnumerationLiterals association is relevant for the enumeration. The particular ordering of EnumerationLiteral instances is obtained from the ordered constraint on the association even if the value attributes of the EnumerationLiteral instances contain non-null values that might be used to determine ordering. This is done to provide more flexible ordering semantics. An instance of Enumeration is also required to create a range data type. Refer to the EnumerationLiteral class for details.

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

createCwmEnumeration

CwmEnumeration createCwmEnumeration()

The default factory operation used to create an instance object.

Returns:

The created instance object.

createCwmEnumeration

CwmEnumeration createCwmEnumeration(String name,
                                    VisibilityKind visibility,
                                    boolean isAbstract,
                                    boolean isOrdered)

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.

isAbstract - An abstract Classifier is not instantiable.

isOrdered - If True, the ordered constraint on the EnumerationLiterals association is relevant. Otherwise, the ordering of EnumerationLiteral instances is considered unspecified.

Returns:

The created instance object.
