public interface Behavior
extends Class

A representation of the model object 'Behavior'. Behavior is a specification of how its context BehavioredClassifier changes state over time. This specification may be either a definition of possible behavior execution or emergent behavior, or a selective illustration of an interesting subset of possible executions. The latter form is typically used for capturing examples, such as a trace of a particular execution.

From package UML::CommonBehavior.

The following features are supported:

• Specification
• Context
• Is Reentrant
• Owned Parameter
• Owned Parameter Set
• Postcondition
• Precondition
• Redefined Behavior

getContext

BehavioredClassifier getContext()

Returns the value of the 'Context' reference.

This feature subsets the following features:

• 'Redefinition Context'

The BehavioredClassifier that is the context for the execution of the Behavior. A Behavior that is directly owned as a nestedClassifier does not have a context. Otherwise, to determine the context of a Behavior, find the first BehavioredClassifier reached by following the chain of owner relationships from the Behavior, if any. If there is such a BehavioredClassifier, then it is the context, unless it is itself a Behavior with a non-empty context, in which case that is also the context for the original Behavior. For example, following this algorithm, the context of an entry Behavior in a StateMachine is the BehavioredClassifier that owns the StateMachine. The features of the context BehavioredClassifier as well as the Elements visible to the context Classifier are visible to the Behavior.
