Interface Metafacade

All Superinterfaces:

ClassifierFacade, GeneralizableElementFacade, ModelElementFacade

All Known Implementing Classes:

MetafacadeLogic, MetafacadeLogicImpl

public interface Metafacade
extends ClassifierFacade

Facade for use in the andromda-meta cartridge. It hides a Classifier that represents a <> object. Metafacade interface to be used by AndroMDA cartridges.

Method Detail

isMetafacadeMetaType

boolean isMetafacadeMetaType()

Indicates the metafacade type (used for metafacade mappings).

Returns:

boolean always true

getAllParents

Collection<Metafacade> getAllParents()

All generalization links (including all parents)

Returns:

Collection

getFullyQualifiedLogicImplName

String getFullyQualifiedLogicImplName()

The fully qualified name for the implementation of the metafacade.

Returns:

String

getFullyQualifiedLogicName

String getFullyQualifiedLogicName()

The fully qualified name for the metafacade "Logic" class.

Returns:

String

getGeneralizationCount

int getGeneralizationCount()

The number of parents this metafacade has.

Returns:

int

getLogicFile

String getLogicFile()

The 'Logic' file location.

Returns:

String

getLogicImplFile

String getLogicImplFile()

The 'Logic' implementation file location.

Returns:

String

getLogicImplName

String getLogicImplName()

The name of the 'Logic' implementation name.

Returns:

String

getLogicName

String getLogicName()

The name of the metafacade 'Logic' class.

Returns:

String

getLogicPackageName

String getLogicPackageName()

The package name to which the 'Logic' metafacade classes are generated.

Returns:

String

getMetaclass

ClassifierFacade getMetaclass()

A Classifier is a classification of instances - it describes a set of instances that have features in common. Can specify a generalization hierarchy by referencing its general classifiers. It may be a Class, DataType, PrimitiveType, Association, Collaboration, UseCase, etc. Can specify a generalization hierarchy by referencing its general classifiers. Has the capability to own collaboration uses. These collaboration uses link a collaboration with the classifier to give a description of the workings of the classifier. Classifier is defined to be a kind of templateable element so that a classifier can be parameterized. It is also defined to be a kind of parameterable element so that a classifier can be a formal template parameter.

Returns:

ClassifierFacade

getMethodDataForPSM

Collection getMethodDataForPSM()

Gets all method information as a collection of MethodData instances for the metafacade.

Returns:

Collection

getMethodDataForPSM

Collection getMethodDataForPSM(ClassifierFacade superMetafacade)

Gets all inherited method information as a collection of MethodData instances for the given superMetafacade.

Parameters:

superMetafacade - ClassifierFacade

Returns:

Collection

isConstructorRequiresMetaclassCast

boolean isConstructorRequiresMetaclassCast()

Indicates if the meta class construct argument requires a cast to the super metafacade's metaclass.

Returns:

boolean

isMetaclassDirectDependency

boolean isMetaclassDirectDependency()

True/false depending on whether or not this class's metaclass is a direct dependency (true) or an inherited dependency (false).

Returns:

boolean

isRequiresInheritanceDelegatation

boolean isRequiresInheritanceDelegatation()

Indicates if the metafacade requires a delegate for inheritance instead of actual inheritance. This is true, when the metafacade is inheriting from a metafacade from a different package (since that means it will most likely be a cartridge metafacade inheriting from a set of shared metafacades for a meta model).

Returns:

boolean
