Constraint v0.0.9054 Constraints can express restrictions and relationships that cannot be expressed using UML notation. They are particularly useful for stating global conditions or conditions that affect a number of elements. Constraints can have predefined names, and can also represent pre-conditions, post-conditions and invariants (pre-defined stereotypes). The language specific MDACs (C++, Java) add a specific stereotype for the pre-conditions, post-conditions and invariants expressed in these languages, such as, for example, C++Invariant or JavaPreCondition. In Modelio, a Constraint is not made up of anything. It is only managed by specific copy/transfer rules.

Constant Field Values

Method Detail

getBaseClass

java.lang.String getBaseClass()

Getter for attribute 'Constraint.BaseClass' Metamodel description: MetaClass whose instances can be constrained by the current Constraint.

setBaseClass

void setBaseClass(java.lang.String value)

Setter for attribute 'Constraint.BaseClass' Metamodel description: MetaClass whose instances can be constrained by the current Constraint.

getBody

java.lang.String getBody()

Getter for attribute 'Constraint.Body' Metamodel description: If the Constraint is not predefined (for example, ordered), then it is expressed in the body. Modelio supports natural language. For every generator (C++, Java) some constraints have a dedicated stereotype (JavaPrecondition, C++Invariant), and are taken into account during code generation.

setBody

void setBody(java.lang.String value)

Setter for attribute 'Constraint.Body' Metamodel description: If the Constraint is not predefined (for example, ordered), then it is expressed in the body. Modelio supports natural language. For every generator (C++, Java) some constraints have a dedicated stereotype (JavaPrecondition, C++Invariant), and are taken into account during code generation.

getLanguage

java.lang.String getLanguage()

Getter for attribute 'Constraint.Language' Metamodel description: null

setLanguage

void setLanguage(java.lang.String value)

Setter for attribute 'Constraint.Language' Metamodel description: null

getConstrainedElement

<any> getConstrainedElement()

Getter for relation 'Constraint->ConstrainedElement' Metamodel description: Defines which elements are concerned by the Constraint.

getConstrainedElement

<T extends UmlModelElement> java.util.List<T> getConstrainedElement(java.lang.Class<T> filterClass)

Filtered Getter for relation 'Constraint->ConstrainedElement' Metamodel description: Defines which elements are concerned by the Constraint.
