Element, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EModelElement, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject, NamedElement, org.eclipse.emf.common.notify.Notifier, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, TypedElement, ValueSpecification

public interface TimeExpression
extends ValueSpecification

A representation of the model object 'Time Expression'. A TimeExpression is a ValueSpecification that represents a time value.

From package UML::Values.

The following features are supported:

• Expr
• Observation

Method Summary

ValueSpecification	createExpr(java.lang.String name, Type type, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass) Creates a new ValueSpecification, with the specified 'Name', and 'Type', and sets the 'Expr' containment reference
ValueSpecification	getExpr() Returns the value of the 'Expr' containment reference.
Observation	getObservation(java.lang.String name) Retrieves the first Observation with the specified 'Name' from the 'Observation' reference list
Observation	getObservation(java.lang.String name, boolean ignoreCase, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass) Retrieves the first Observation with the specified 'Name' from the 'Observation' reference list
org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<Observation>	getObservations() Returns the value of the 'Observation' reference list.
void	setExpr(ValueSpecification value) Sets the value of the 'Expr' containment reference
boolean	validateNoExprRequiresObservation(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context) If a TimeExpression has no expr, then it must have a single observation that is a TimeObservation.

Method Detail

getExpr

ValueSpecification getExpr()

Returns the value of the 'Expr' containment reference.

This feature subsets the following features:

• 'Owned Element'

A ValueSpecification that evaluates to the value of the TimeExpression.

From package UML::Values.

Returns:

the value of the 'Expr' containment reference.

See Also:

setExpr(ValueSpecification), UMLPackage.getTimeExpression_Expr()

setExpr

void setExpr(ValueSpecification value)

Sets the value of the 'Expr' containment reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Expr' containment reference.

See Also:

getExpr()

createExpr

ValueSpecification createExpr(java.lang.String name,
                              Type type,
                              org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass)

Creates a new ValueSpecification, with the specified 'Name', and 'Type', and sets the 'Expr' containment reference.

Parameters:

name - The 'Name' for the new ValueSpecification, or null.

type - The 'Type' for the new ValueSpecification, or null.

eClass - The Ecore class of the ValueSpecification to create.

Returns:

The new ValueSpecification.

See Also:

getExpr()

getObservations

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<Observation> getObservations()

Returns the value of the 'Observation' reference list. The list contents are of type Observation. Refers to the Observations that are involved in the computation of the TimeExpression value.

From package UML::Values.

Returns:

the value of the 'Observation' reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getTimeExpression_Observation()

getObservation

Observation getObservation(java.lang.String name)

Retrieves the first Observation with the specified 'Name' from the 'Observation' reference list.

Parameters:

name - The 'Name' of the Observation to retrieve, or null.

Returns:

The first Observation with the specified 'Name', or null.

See Also:

getObservations()

getObservation

Observation getObservation(java.lang.String name,
                           boolean ignoreCase,
                           org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass eClass)

Retrieves the first Observation with the specified 'Name' from the 'Observation' reference list.

Parameters:

name - The 'Name' of the Observation to retrieve, or null.

ignoreCase - Whether to ignore case in String comparisons.

eClass - The Ecore class of the Observation to retrieve, or null.

Returns:

The first Observation with the specified 'Name', or null.

See Also:

getObservations()

validateNoExprRequiresObservation

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

If a TimeExpression has no expr, then it must have a single observation that is a TimeObservation. expr = null implies (observation->size() = 1 and observation->forAll(oclIsKindOf(TimeObservation)))

Parameters:

diagnostics - The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context - The cache of context-specific information.
