public interface DataType
extends Classifier

A representation of the model object 'Data Type'. DataType defines a kind of classifier in which operations are all pure functions (i.e., they can return data values but they cannot change data values, because they have no identity). For example, an �add� operation on a number with another number as an argument yields a third number as a result; the target and argument are unchanged. A DataType may also contain attributes to support the modeling of structured data types.

The following features are supported:

Method Detail

getOwnedAttributes

public EList getOwnedAttributes()
Returns the value of the 'Owned Attribute' containment reference list. The list contents are of type Property. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Datatype'.

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

The Attributes owned by the DataType. Subsets Classifier::attribute and Element:: ownedMember.

Returns:
the value of the 'Owned Attribute' containment reference list.
See Also:
UML2Package.getDataType_OwnedAttribute(), Property.getDatatype()

getOwnedAttribute

public Property getOwnedAttribute(String unqualifiedName)
Retrieves the Property with the specified name from the 'Owned Attribute' containment reference list.

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

createOwnedAttribute

public Property createOwnedAttribute(EClass eClass)
Creates a Property and appends it to the 'Owned Attribute' containment reference list.

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

getOwnedOperations

public EList getOwnedOperations()
Returns the value of the 'Owned Operation' containment reference list. The list contents are of type Operation. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Datatype'.

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

The Operations owned by the DataType. Subsets Classifier::feature and Element:: ownedMember.

Returns:
the value of the 'Owned Operation' containment reference list.
See Also:
UML2Package.getDataType_OwnedOperation(), Operation.getDatatype()

getOwnedOperation

public Operation getOwnedOperation(String unqualifiedName)
Retrieves the Operation with the specified name from the 'Owned Operation' containment reference list.

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

createOwnedOperation

public Operation createOwnedOperation(EClass eClass)
Creates a Operation and appends it to the 'Owned Operation' containment reference list.

Returns:
The new Operation.
See Also:
getOwnedOperations()
