Class Classifier

Namespace
NMF.Interop.Legacy.Cmof
Assembly
NMF.UMLInterop.dll

A classifier is a type. It can specify a generalization hierarchy by referencing its general classifiers. A classifier is also a namespace whose members can include features. Classifier is an abstract metaclass.

Constructors

Classifier()

Creates a new instance

public Classifier()

Properties

Children

Gets the child model elements of this model element

public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> Children { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement>

ClassInstance

Gets the Class model for this type

public static IClass ClassInstance { get; }

Property Value

IClass

General

References the general classifier in the Generalization relationship. Subsets DirectedRelationship::target.

[XmlElementName("general")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
public ISetExpression<IClassifier> General { get; }

Property Value

ISetExpression<IClassifier>

Package

References the owning package of a package. Subsets NamedElement::namespace and redefines Basic::Package::nestingPackage. Specifies the owning package of this classifier, if any.

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlElementName("package")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
[XmlOpposite("ownedType")]
public IPackage Package { get; set; }

Property Value

IPackage

ReferencedElements

Gets the referenced model elements of this model element

public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> ReferencedElements { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement>

Methods

AllFeatures()

The query allFeatures() gives all of the features in the namespace of the classifier. In general, through mechanisms such as inheritance, this will be a larger set than feature. result = member->select(oclIsKindOf(Feature))

public ISetExpression<IFeature> AllFeatures()

Returns

ISetExpression<IFeature>

AllParents()

The query allParents() gives all of the direct and indirect ancestors of a generalized Classifier. result = self.parents()->union(self.parents()->collect(p | p.allParents())

public ISetExpression<IClassifier> AllParents()

Returns

ISetExpression<IClassifier>

ConformsTo(IType)

The query conformsTo() gives true for a type that conforms to another. By default, two types do not conform to each other. This query is intended to be redefined for specific conformance situations. result = false

public bool ConformsTo(IType other)

Parameters

other IType

Returns

bool

GetClass()

Gets the Class for this model element

public override IClass GetClass()

Returns

IClass

GetCollectionForFeature(string)

Gets the Model element collection for the given feature

protected override IList GetCollectionForFeature(string feature)

Parameters

feature string

The requested feature

Returns

IList

A non-generic list of elements

GetExpressionForReference(string)

Gets the property expression for the given reference

protected override INotifyExpression<IModelElement> GetExpressionForReference(string reference)

Parameters

reference string

The requested reference in upper case

Returns

INotifyExpression<IModelElement>

An incremental property expression

GetGenerals()

The general classifiers are the classifiers referenced by the generalization relationships. result = self.parents()

public ISetExpression<IClassifier> GetGenerals()

Returns

ISetExpression<IClassifier>

GetInheritedMembers()

The inheritedMember association is derived by inheriting the inheritable members of the parents. result = self.inherit(self.parents()->collect(p | p.inheritableMembers(self))

public ISetExpression<INamedElement> GetInheritedMembers()

Returns

ISetExpression<INamedElement>

GetModelElementForReference(string, int)

Resolves the given URI to a child model element

protected override IModelElement GetModelElementForReference(string reference, int index)

Parameters

reference string

The requested reference name

index int

The index of this reference

Returns

IModelElement

The model element or null if it could not be found

HasVisibilityOf(INamedElement)

The query hasVisibilityOf() determines whether a named element is visible in the classifier. By default all are visible. It is only called when the argument is something owned by a parent. self.allParents()->collect(c | c.member)->includes(n) result = if (self.inheritedMember->includes(n)) then (n.visibility <> #private) else true

public bool HasVisibilityOf(INamedElement n)

Parameters

n INamedElement

Returns

bool

Inherit(IEnumerable<INamedElement>)

The inherit operation is overridden to exclude redefined properties. result = inhs

public ISetExpression<INamedElement> Inherit(IEnumerable<INamedElement> inhs)

Parameters

inhs IEnumerable<INamedElement>

Returns

ISetExpression<INamedElement>

InheritableMembers(IClassifier)

The query inheritableMembers() gives all of the members of a classifier that may be inherited in one of its descendants, subject to whatever visibility restrictions apply. c.allParents()->includes(self) result = member->select(m | c.hasVisibilityOf(m))

public ISetExpression<INamedElement> InheritableMembers(IClassifier c)

Parameters

c IClassifier

Returns

ISetExpression<INamedElement>

IsInstance(object)

public bool IsInstance(object @object)

Parameters

object object

Returns

bool

MaySpecializeType(IClassifier)

The query maySpecializeType() determines whether this classifier may have a generalization relationship to classifiers of the specified type. By default a classifier may specialize classifiers of the same or a more general type. It is intended to be redefined by classifiers that have different specialization constraints. result = self.oclIsKindOf(c.oclType)

public bool MaySpecializeType(IClassifier c)

Parameters

c IClassifier

Returns

bool

No_cycles_in_generalization(object, object)

Generalization hierarchies must be directed and acyclical. A classifier can not be both a transitively general and transitively specific classifier of the same classifier. not self.allParents()->includes(self)

public bool No_cycles_in_generalization(object diagnostics, object context)

Parameters

diagnostics object
context object

Returns

bool

OnParentChanged(IModelElement, IModelElement)

Gets called when the parent model element of the current model element changes

protected override void OnParentChanged(IModelElement newParent, IModelElement oldParent)

Parameters

newParent IModelElement

The new parent model element

oldParent IModelElement

The old parent model element

OnParentChanging(IModelElement, IModelElement)

Gets called when the parent model element of the current model element is about to change

protected override void OnParentChanging(IModelElement newParent, IModelElement oldParent)

Parameters

newParent IModelElement

The new parent model element

oldParent IModelElement

The old parent model element

Parents()

The query parents() gives all of the immediate ancestors of a generalized Classifier. result = generalization.general

public ISetExpression<IClassifier> Parents()

Returns

ISetExpression<IClassifier>

SetFeature(string, object)

Sets a value to the given feature

protected override void SetFeature(string feature, object value)

Parameters

feature string

The requested feature

value object

The value that should be set to that feature

Specialize_type(object, object)

A classifier may only specialize classifiers of a valid type. self.parents()->forAll(c | self.maySpecializeType(c))

public bool Specialize_type(object diagnostics, object context)

Parameters

diagnostics object
context object

Returns

bool
