public interface Signal
extends Classifier

A representation of the model object 'Signal'. A signal is a specification of type of send request instances communicated between objects. The receiving object handles the signal instance as specified by its receptions. The data carried by a send request and passed to it by the occurrence of the send invocation event that caused the request is represented as attributes of the signal instance. A signal is defined independently of the classifiers handling the signal.

The following features are supported:

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.
