public interface Namespace
extends ModelElement

A namespace is a part of a model that contains a set of ModelElements each of whose names designates a unique element within the namespace. In the metamodel, a Namespace is a ModelElement that can own other ModelElements, like Associations and Classifiers. The name of each owned ModelElement must be unique within the Namespace. Moreover, each contained ModelElement is owned by at most one Namespace. The concrete subclasses of Namespace have additional constraints on which kind of elements may be contained. Namespace is an abstract metaclass. Note that explicit parts of a model element, such as the features of a Classifier, are not modeled as owned elements in a namespace. A namespace is used for unstructured contents such as the contents of a package or a class declared inside the scope of another class.

Method Summary

Set	allContents() The operation allContents results in a Set containing all ModelElements contained by the Namespace.
Set	getAllSurroundingNamespaces() The operation allSurroundingNamespaces results in a Set containing all surrounding Namespaces.
Set	getAllVisibleElements() The operation allVisibleElements results in a Set containing all ModelElements visible outside of the Namespace.
Set	getContents() The operation contents results in a Set containing all ModelElements contained by the Namespace.
Collection	getOwnedElement() (association class ElementOwnership) A set of ModelElements owned by the Namespace.

Method Detail

getOwnedElement

Collection getOwnedElement()
                           throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

(association class ElementOwnership) A set of ModelElements owned by the Namespace. Its visibility attribute states whether the element is visible outside the namespace.

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

getContents

Set getContents()
                throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

The operation contents results in a Set containing all ModelElements contained by the Namespace.

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

getAllVisibleElements

Set getAllVisibleElements()
                          throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

The operation allVisibleElements results in a Set containing all ModelElements visible outside of the Namespace.

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

getAllSurroundingNamespaces

Set getAllSurroundingNamespaces()
                                throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

The operation allSurroundingNamespaces results in a Set containing all surrounding Namespaces.

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

allContents

Set allContents()

The operation allContents results in a Set containing all ModelElements contained by the Namespace.
