Method Detail

isSynchronous

public boolean isSynchronous()
Returns the value of the 'Is Synchronous' attribute. The default value is "true".

If the meaning of the 'Is Synchronous' attribute isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

If true, the call is synchronous and the caller waits for completion of the invoked behavior. If false, the call is asynchronous and the caller proceeds immediately and does not expect a return values.

Returns:
the value of the 'Is Synchronous' attribute.
See Also:
setIsSynchronous(boolean), UML2Package.getCallAction_IsSynchronous()

setIsSynchronous

public void setIsSynchronous(boolean value)
Sets the value of the 'Is Synchronous' attribute.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Is Synchronous' attribute.
See Also:
isSynchronous()

getResults

public EList getResults()
Returns the value of the 'Result' containment reference list. The list contents are of type OutputPin.

If the meaning of the 'Result' containment reference list isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

A list of output pins where the results of performing the invocation are placed.

Returns:
the value of the 'Result' containment reference list.
See Also:
UML2Package.getCallAction_Result()

getResult

public OutputPin getResult(String unqualifiedName)
Retrieves the OutputPin with the specified name from the 'Result' containment reference list.

Parameters:
unqualifiedName - The unqualified name of the OutputPin to retrieve.
Returns:
The OutputPin with the specified name, or null.
See Also:
getResults()

createResult

public OutputPin createResult(EClass eClass)
Creates a OutputPin and appends it to the 'Result' containment reference list.

Parameters:
eClass - The Ecore class of the OutputPin to create.
Returns:
The new OutputPin.
See Also:
getResults()

getOutputs

public EList getOutputs()

Specified by:
getOutputs in interface Action
Returns:
the value of the 'Output' reference list.
See Also:
UML2Package.getAction_Output()
