public interface ElementImport
extends DirectedRelationship

A representation of the model object 'Element Import'. An element import identifies an element in another package, and allows the element to be referenced using its name without a qualifier.

The following features are supported:

Method Detail

getVisibility

VisibilityKind getVisibility()
Returns the value of the 'Visibility' attribute. The default value is "public". The literals are from the enumeration VisibilityKind. Specifies the visibility of the imported PackageableElement within the importing Package. The default visibility is the same as that of the imported element. If the imported element does not have a visibility, it is possible to add visibility to the element import.

Returns:
the value of the 'Visibility' attribute.
See Also:
VisibilityKind, setVisibility(VisibilityKind), UMLPackage.getElementImport_Visibility()

setVisibility

void setVisibility(VisibilityKind value)
Sets the value of the 'Visibility' attribute.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Visibility' attribute.
See Also:
VisibilityKind, getVisibility()

getAlias

java.lang.String getAlias()
Returns the value of the 'Alias' attribute. Specifies the name that should be added to the namespace of the importing package in lieu of the name of the imported packagable element. The aliased name must not clash with any other member name in the importing package. By default, no alias is used.

Returns:
the value of the 'Alias' attribute.
See Also:
isSetAlias(), unsetAlias(), setAlias(String), UMLPackage.getElementImport_Alias()

setAlias

void setAlias(java.lang.String value)
Sets the value of the 'Alias' attribute.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Alias' attribute.
See Also:
isSetAlias(), unsetAlias(), getAlias()

unsetAlias

void unsetAlias()
Unsets the value of the 'Alias' attribute.

See Also:
isSetAlias(), getAlias(), setAlias(String)

isSetAlias

boolean isSetAlias()
Returns whether the value of the 'Alias' attribute is set.

Returns:
whether the value of the 'Alias' attribute is set.
See Also:
unsetAlias(), getAlias(), setAlias(String)

getImportedElement

PackageableElement getImportedElement()
Returns the value of the 'Imported Element' reference.

This feature subsets the following features:

Specifies the PackageableElement whose name is to be added to a Namespace.

Returns:
the value of the 'Imported Element' reference.
See Also:
setImportedElement(PackageableElement), UMLPackage.getElementImport_ImportedElement()

setImportedElement

void setImportedElement(PackageableElement value)
Sets the value of the 'Imported Element' reference.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Imported Element' reference.
See Also:
getImportedElement()

getImportingNamespace

Namespace getImportingNamespace()
Returns the value of the 'Importing Namespace' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Element Import'.

This feature subsets the following features:

Specifies the Namespace that imports a PackageableElement from another Package.

Returns:
the value of the 'Importing Namespace' container reference.
See Also:
setImportingNamespace(Namespace), UMLPackage.getElementImport_ImportingNamespace(), Namespace.getElementImports()

setImportingNamespace

void setImportingNamespace(Namespace value)
Sets the value of the 'Importing Namespace' container reference.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Importing Namespace' container reference.
See Also:
getImportingNamespace()

validateVisibilityPublicOrPrivate

boolean validateVisibilityPublicOrPrivate(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                                          java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context)
The visibility of an ElementImport is either public or private. self.visibility = #public or self.visibility = #private

Parameters:
diagnostics - The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.
context - The cache of context-specific information.

validateImportedElementIsPublic

boolean validateImportedElementIsPublic(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                                        java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context)
An importedElement has either public visibility or no visibility at all. self.importedElement.visibility.notEmpty() implies self.importedElement.visibility = #public

Parameters:
diagnostics - The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.
context - The cache of context-specific information.

getName

java.lang.String getName()
The query getName() returns the name under which the imported PackageableElement will be known in the importing namespace. result = if self.alias->notEmpty() then self.alias else self.importedElement.name endif
