public interface Parameter
extends ModelElement

A parameter is an unbound variable that can be changed, passed, or returned. A parameter may include a name, type, and direction of communication. Parameters are used in the specification of operations, messages and events, templates, etc. In the metamodel, a Parameter is a declaration of an argument to be passed to, or returned from, an Operation, a Signal, etc.

Method Detail

getDefaultValue

Expression getDefaultValue()
                           throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

An Expression whose evaluation yields a value to be used when no argument is supplied for the Parameter.

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

setDefaultValue

void setDefaultValue(Expression defaultValue)
                     throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

Setter for atomic property defaultValue)

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

getKind

ParameterDirectionKind getKind()
                               throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

Specifies what kind of a Parameter is required. Possibilities are: • in - An input Parameter (may not be modified). • out - An output Parameter (may be modified to communicate information to the caller). • inout - An input Parameter that may be modified. • return -A return value of a call.

Throws:

javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
