Interface Feature

All Superinterfaces:

Element, ExtObject, ModelElement, javax.jmi.reflect.RefBaseObject, javax.jmi.reflect.RefFeatured, javax.jmi.reflect.RefObject

All Known Subinterfaces:

Attribute, BehavioralFeature, Method, Operation, Reception, StructuralFeature

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Feature
extends ModelElement

A feature is a property, like operation or attribute, which is encapsulated within a Classifier. In the metamodel, a Feature declares a behavioral or structural characteristic of an Instance of a Classifier or of the Classifier itself. Feature is an abstract metaclass.

Method Summary

Classifier	getOwner() The Classifier declaring the Feature.
ScopeKind	getOwnerScope() Specifies whether Feature appears in each Instance of the Classifier or whether there is just a single instance of the Feature for the entire Classifier.
void	setOwner(Classifier owner) Setter for atomic property owner)
void	setOwnerScope(ScopeKind ownerScope) Setter for atomic property ownerScope)

Method Detail

getOwnerScope

ScopeKind getOwnerScope()
                        throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

Specifies whether Feature appears in each Instance of the Classifier or whether there is just a single instance of the Feature for the entire Classifier. Possibilities are: • instance - Each Instance of the Classifier holds its own value for the Feature. • classifier - There is just one value of the Feature for the entire Classifier.

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

setOwnerScope

void setOwnerScope(ScopeKind ownerScope)
                   throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

Setter for atomic property ownerScope)

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

getOwner

Classifier getOwner()
                    throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

The Classifier declaring the Feature. Note that an Attribute may be owned by a Classifier (in which case it is a feature) or an AssociationEnd (in which case it is a qualifier) but not both.

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

setOwner

void setOwner(Classifier owner)
              throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

Setter for atomic property owner)

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
