Method Detail

getRedefinitionChainHead

ELEMENT_TYPE getRedefinitionChainHead()

Returns:

original redefinable element that does not redefine any other element

getRedefinitionChainTail

ELEMENT_TYPE getRedefinitionChainTail()

Returns:

redefining element that is the closest one to the given context in the redefinition chain

getLocalRedefinition

ELEMENT_TYPE getLocalRedefinition()

Returns:

redefining element that is local to the given context or null if one does not exist

redefine

ELEMENT_TYPE redefine()

Returns:

redefining element that is local to the given context. A new redefining element will be created if one did not exist before the call

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Returns:

the name of the redefinable element which is the same for all elements in the redefinition tree

setName

void setName(java.lang.String name)

Sets the name for the redefinable element effectly renaming all elements in the redefintion tree

Parameters:

name -

getStereotypeValue
