Class Connector
A Connector specifies links that enables communication between two or more instances. In contrast to Associations, which specify links between any instance of the associated Classifiers, Connectors specify links between instances playing the connected parts only. <p>From package UML::StructuredClassifiers.</p>

Constructors
Connector()
Creates a new instance
public Connector()Properties
Children
Gets the child model elements of this model element
public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> Children { get; }Property Value
ClassInstance
Gets the Class model for this type
public static IClass ClassInstance { get; }Property Value
Contract
The set of Behaviors that specify the valid interaction patterns across the Connector. <p>From package UML::StructuredClassifiers.</p>
[XmlElementName("contract")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
public ISetExpression<IBehavior> Contract { get; }Property Value
End
A Connector has at least two ConnectorEnds, each representing the participation of instances of the Classifiers typing the ConnectableElements attached to the end. The set of ConnectorEnds is ordered. <p>From package UML::StructuredClassifiers.</p>

[Containment]
public IOrderedSetExpression<IConnectorEnd> End { get; }Property Value
RedefinedConnector
A Connector may be redefined when its containing Classifier is specialized. The redefining Connector may have a type that specializes the type of the redefined Connector. The types of the ConnectorEnds of the redefining Connector may specialize the types of the ConnectorEnds of the redefined Connector. The properties of the ConnectorEnds of the redefining Connector may be replaced. <p>From package UML::StructuredClassifiers.</p>
[XmlElementName("redefinedConnector")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
public ISetExpression<IConnector> RedefinedConnector { get; }Property Value
ReferencedElements
Gets the referenced model elements of this model element
public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> ReferencedElements { get; }Property Value
Type
An optional Association that classifies links corresponding to this Connector. <p>From package UML::StructuredClassifiers.</p>
[XmlElementName("type")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
public IAssociation Type { get; set; }Property Value
Methods
GetClass()
Gets the Class for this model element
public override IClass GetClass()Returns
GetCollectionForFeature(string)
Gets the Model element collection for the given feature
protected override IList GetCollectionForFeature(string feature)Parameters
featurestringThe requested feature
Returns
- IList
A non-generic list of elements
GetCompositionName(object)
Gets the property name for the given container
protected override string GetCompositionName(object container)Parameters
containerobjectThe container object
Returns
- string
The name of the respective container reference
GetExpressionForReference(string)
Gets the property expression for the given reference
protected override INotifyExpression<IModelElement> GetExpressionForReference(string reference)Parameters
referencestringThe requested reference in upper case
Returns
- INotifyExpression<IModelElement>
An incremental property expression
GetKind()
Derivation for Connector::/kind : ConnectorKind result = (if end->exists( role.oclIsKindOf(Port) and partWithPort->isEmpty() and not role.oclAsType(Port).isBehavior) then ConnectorKind::delegation else ConnectorKind::assembly endif) <p>From package UML::StructuredClassifiers.</p>
public ConnectorKind GetKind()Returns
GetModelElementForReference(string, int)
Resolves the given URI to a child model element
protected override IModelElement GetModelElementForReference(string reference, int index)Parameters
Returns
- IModelElement
The model element or null if it could not be found
GetRelativePathForNonIdentifiedChild(IModelElement)
Gets the relative URI fragment for the given child model element
protected override string GetRelativePathForNonIdentifiedChild(IModelElement element)Parameters
elementIModelElementThe element that should be looked for
Returns
- string
A fragment of the relative URI
Roles(object, object)
The ConnectableElements attached as roles to each ConnectorEnd owned by a Connector must be owned or inherited roles of the Classifier that owned the Connector, or they must be Ports of such roles. structuredClassifier <> null and end->forAll( e | structuredClassifier.allRoles()->includes(e.role) or e.role.oclIsKindOf(Port) and structuredClassifier.allRoles()->includes(e.partWithPort))
public bool Roles(object diagnostics, object context)Parameters
diagnosticsobjectThe chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.
contextobjectThe cache of context-specific information.
Returns
SetFeature(string, object)
Sets a value to the given feature
protected override void SetFeature(string feature, object value)Parameters
Types(object, object)
The types of the ConnectableElements that the ends of a Connector are attached to must conform to the types of the ends of the Association that types the Connector, if any. type<>null implies let noOfEnds : Integer = end->size() in (type.memberEnd->size() = noOfEnds) and Sequence{1..noOfEnds}->forAll(i | end->at(i).role.type.conformsTo(type.memberEnd->at(i).type))
public bool Types(object diagnostics, object context)Parameters
diagnosticsobjectThe chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.
contextobjectThe cache of context-specific information.
