Interface TemplateSignature

All Superinterfaces:
Element, EModelElement, EObject, Notifier
All Known Subinterfaces:
RedefinableTemplateSignature

public interface TemplateSignature
extends Element

A representation of the model object 'Template Signature'. A template signature bundles the set of formal template parameters for a templated element.

The following features are supported:

Method Detail

getParameters

public EList getParameters()
Returns the value of the 'Parameter' reference list. The list contents are of type TemplateParameter. The ordered set of all formal template parameters for this template signature.

Returns:
the value of the 'Parameter' reference list.
See Also:
UMLPackage.getTemplateSignature_Parameter()

getTemplate

public TemplateableElement getTemplate()
Returns the value of the 'Template' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Owned Template Signature'. The element that owns this template signature.

Returns:
the value of the 'Template' container reference.
See Also:
TemplateSignature.setTemplate(TemplateableElement), UMLPackage.getTemplateSignature_Template(), TemplateableElement.getOwnedTemplateSignature()

setTemplate

public void setTemplate(TemplateableElement value)
Sets the value of the 'Template' container reference.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Template' container reference.
See Also:
TemplateSignature.getTemplate()

getOwnedParameters

public EList getOwnedParameters()
Returns the value of the 'Owned Parameter' containment reference list. The list contents are of type TemplateParameter. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Signature'. The formal template parameters that are owned by this template signature.

Returns:
the value of the 'Owned Parameter' containment reference list.
See Also:
UMLPackage.getTemplateSignature_OwnedParameter(), TemplateParameter.getSignature()

createOwnedParameter

public TemplateParameter createOwnedParameter(EClass eClass)
Creates a new TemplateParameter and appends it to the 'Owned Parameter' containment reference list.

Parameters:
eClass - The Ecore class of the TemplateParameter to create.
Returns:
The new TemplateParameter.
See Also:
TemplateSignature.getOwnedParameters()

createOwnedParameter

public TemplateParameter createOwnedParameter()
Creates a new TemplateParameter and appends it to the 'Owned Parameter' containment reference list.

Returns:
The new TemplateParameter.
See Also:
TemplateSignature.getOwnedParameters()

validateOwnElements

public boolean validateOwnElements(DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                                   Map context)
Parameters must own the elements they parameter or those elements must be owned by the element being templated. templatedElement.ownedElement->includesAll(parameter.parameteredElement - parameter.ownedParameteredElement)
