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

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<TemplateParameter> 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

TemplateableElement getTemplate()
Returns the value of the 'Template' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Owned Template Signature'.

This feature subsets the following features:

The element that owns this template signature.

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

setTemplate

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

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

getOwnedParameters

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<TemplateParameter> 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'.

This feature subsets the following features:

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

TemplateParameter createOwnedParameter(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.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:
getOwnedParameters()

createOwnedParameter

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

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

validateOwnElements

boolean validateOwnElements(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                            java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> 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)

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