Interface CwmIndexClass

All Superinterfaces:

RefBaseObject, RefClass, RefFeatured

All Known Implementing Classes:

CwmIndexClass$Hib

public interface CwmIndexClass
extends RefClass

Index class proxy interface. Instances of the Index class represent the ordering of the instances of some other Class, and the Index is said to "span" the Class. Indexes normally have an ordered set of attributes of the Class instance they span that make up the "key" of the index; this set of relationships is represented by the IndexedFeature class that indicates how the attributes are used by the Index instance. The Index class is intended primarily as a starting point for tools that require the notion of an index.

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

createCwmIndex

CwmIndex createCwmIndex()

The default factory operation used to create an instance object.

Returns:

The created instance object.

createCwmIndex

CwmIndex createCwmIndex(String name,
                        VisibilityKind visibility,
                        boolean isPartitioning,
                        boolean isSorted,
                        boolean isUnique)

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.

isPartitioning - If True, this Index instance is used as a partitioning index.

isSorted - If True, the Index instance is maintained in a sorted order.

isUnique - The isUnique attribute is True if the Index instance guarantees all of its instances have a unique key value.

Returns:

The created instance object.
