Interface TemplateBinding

All Superinterfaces:

DirectedRelationship, Element, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EModelElement, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject, org.eclipse.emf.common.notify.Notifier, Relationship

public interface TemplateBinding
extends DirectedRelationship

A representation of the model object 'Template Binding'. A template binding represents a relationship between a templateable element and a template. A template binding specifies the substitutions of actual parameters for the formal parameters of the template.

The following features are supported:

• Signature
• Parameter Substitution
• Bound Element

See Also:

UMLPackage.getTemplateBinding()

Method Summary

TemplateParameterSubstitution	createParameterSubstitution() Creates a new TemplateParameterSubstitution and appends it to the 'Parameter Substitution' containment reference list
TemplateableElement	getBoundElement() Returns the value of the 'Bound Element' container reference.
org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<TemplateParameterSubstitution>	getParameterSubstitutions() Returns the value of the 'Parameter Substitution' containment reference list.
TemplateSignature	getSignature() Returns the value of the 'Signature' reference.
void	setBoundElement(TemplateableElement value) Sets the value of the 'Bound Element' container reference
void	setSignature(TemplateSignature value) Sets the value of the 'Signature' reference
boolean	validateOneParameterSubstitution(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context) A binding contains at most one parameter substitution for each formal template parameter of the target template signature.
boolean	validateParameterSubstitutionFormal(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.DiagnosticChain diagnostics, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object> context) Each parameter substitution must refer to a formal template parameter of the target template signature.

Method Detail

getSignature

TemplateSignature getSignature()

Returns the value of the 'Signature' reference.

This feature subsets the following features:

• 'Target'

The template signature for the template that is the target of the binding.

Returns:

the value of the 'Signature' reference.

See Also:

setSignature(TemplateSignature), UMLPackage.getTemplateBinding_Signature()

setSignature

void setSignature(TemplateSignature value)

Sets the value of the 'Signature' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Signature' reference.

See Also:

getSignature()

getParameterSubstitutions

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<TemplateParameterSubstitution> getParameterSubstitutions()

Returns the value of the 'Parameter Substitution' containment reference list. The list contents are of type TemplateParameterSubstitution. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Template Binding'.

This feature subsets the following features:

• 'Owned Element'

The parameter substitutions owned by this template binding.

Returns:

the value of the 'Parameter Substitution' containment reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getTemplateBinding_ParameterSubstitution(), TemplateParameterSubstitution.getTemplateBinding()

createParameterSubstitution

TemplateParameterSubstitution createParameterSubstitution()

Creates a new TemplateParameterSubstitution and appends it to the 'Parameter Substitution' containment reference list.

Returns:

The new TemplateParameterSubstitution.

See Also:

getParameterSubstitutions()

getBoundElement

TemplateableElement getBoundElement()

Returns the value of the 'Bound Element' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Template Binding'.

This feature subsets the following features:

• 'Owner'
• 'Source'

The element that is bound by this binding.

Returns:

the value of the 'Bound Element' container reference.

See Also:

setBoundElement(TemplateableElement), UMLPackage.getTemplateBinding_BoundElement(), TemplateableElement.getTemplateBindings()

setBoundElement

void setBoundElement(TemplateableElement value)

Sets the value of the 'Bound Element' container reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Bound Element' container reference.

See Also:

getBoundElement()

validateParameterSubstitutionFormal

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

Each parameter substitution must refer to a formal template parameter of the target template signature. parameterSubstitution->forAll(b | template.parameter->includes(b.formal))

Parameters:

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

context - The cache of context-specific information.

validateOneParameterSubstitution

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

A binding contains at most one parameter substitution for each formal template parameter of the target template signature. template.parameter->forAll(p | parameterSubstitution->select(b | b.formal = p)->size() <= 1)

Parameters:

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

context - The cache of context-specific information.
