Method Detail

isGeneralizableElementFacadeMetaType

boolean isGeneralizableElementFacadeMetaType()

Indicates the metafacade type (used for metafacade mappings).

Returns:

boolean always true

findTaggedValue

Object findTaggedValue(String tagName,
                     boolean follow)

Finds the tagged value optional searching the entire inheritance hierarchy if 'follow' is set to true.

Parameters:

tagName - String

follow - boolean

Returns:

Object

getAllGeneralizations

Collection<GeneralizableElementFacade> getAllGeneralizations()

All generalizations for this generalizable element, goes up the inheritance tree.

Returns:

Collection

getAllSpecializations

Collection<GeneralizableElementFacade> getAllSpecializations()

All specializations (travels down the inheritance hierarchy).

Returns:

Collection

getGeneralization

GeneralizableElementFacade getGeneralization()

Gets the direct generalization for this generalizable element.

Returns:

GeneralizableElementFacade

getGeneralizationLinks

Collection<GeneralizationFacade> getGeneralizationLinks()

Gets the actual links that this generalization element is part of (it plays either the specialization or generalization).

Returns:

Collection

getGeneralizationList

String getGeneralizationList()

A comma separated list of the fully qualified names of all generalizations.

Returns:

String

getGeneralizationRoot

GeneralizableElementFacade getGeneralizationRoot()

The element found when you recursively follow the generalization path up to the root. If an element has no generalization itself will be considered the root.

Returns:

GeneralizableElementFacade

getGeneralizations

Collection<GeneralizableElementFacade> getGeneralizations()

Return all generalizations (ancestors) from this generalizable element.

Returns:

Collection

getSpecializations

Collection<GeneralizableElementFacade> getSpecializations()

Gets the direct specializations (i.e. sub elements) for this generalizatble element.

Returns:

Collection
