Method Detail

getConstraint

IModelConstraint getConstraint()

Obtains the constraint which either succeeded or failed, according to what I have to say.

Returns:

my constraint

getTarget

EObject getTarget()

Obtains the target object, on which the constraint was evaluated.

Returns:

the target of the validation operation

getResultLocus

Set<EObject> getResultLocus()

Obtains the objects which are involved in the failure of the constraint. These are objects which caused the constraint to fail, and would be useful to link to from some display of the error message.

Returns:

the objects which caused the constraint to fail. In cases of successful validation, the result is an empty collection. The result is never null
