public interface Connector
extends Feature

A representation of the model object 'Connector'.

A Connector specifies links that enables communication between two or more instances. In contrast to Associations, which specify links between any instance of the associated Classifiers, Connectors specify links between instances playing the connected parts only.

The following features are supported:

• Contract
• End
• Kind
• Redefined Connector
• connector Of Redefined Connector
• Type
• message Of Connector
• information Flow Of Realizing Connector
• structured Classifier Of Owned Connector

Method Detail

getType

@CheckForNull
Association getType()

Returns the value of the 'Type' reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'connector Of Type'. An optional Association that classifies links corresponding to this Connector.

Returns:

the value of the 'Type' reference.

See Also:

setType(Association), UMLPackage.getConnector_Type(), Association.get_connectorOfType()

Model:

opposite="_connectorOfType" ordered="false"

Generated:

setType

void setType(@CheckForNull
             Association value)

Sets the value of the 'Type' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Type' reference.

See Also:

getType()

Generated:

get_messageOfConnector

java.util.Collection<Message> get_messageOfConnector()

Returns the value of the 'message Of Connector' reference list. The list contents are of type Message. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Connector'.

If the meaning of the 'message Of Connector' reference list isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'message Of Connector' reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getConnector__messageOfConnector(), Message.getConnector()

Model:

opposite="connector" ordered="false"

Generated:

get_informationFlowOfRealizingConnector

java.util.Collection<InformationFlow> get_informationFlowOfRealizingConnector()

Returns the value of the 'information Flow Of Realizing Connector' reference list. The list contents are of type InformationFlow. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Realizing Connector'.

If the meaning of the 'information Flow Of Realizing Connector' reference list isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'information Flow Of Realizing Connector' reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getConnector__informationFlowOfRealizingConnector(), InformationFlow.getRealizingConnector()

Model:

opposite="realizingConnector" ordered="false"

Generated:

getContract

java.util.Collection<Behavior> getContract()

Returns the value of the 'Contract' reference list. The list contents are of type Behavior. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'connector Of Contract'. The set of Behaviors that specify the valid interaction patterns across the Connector.

Returns:

the value of the 'Contract' reference list.

See Also:

UMLPackage.getConnector_Contract(), Behavior.get_connectorOfContract()

Model:

opposite="_connectorOfContract" ordered="false"

Generated:

getRedefinedConnector

java.util.Collection<Connector> getRedefinedConnector()

Returns the value of the 'Redefined Connector' reference list. The list contents are of type Connector. It is bidirectional and its opposite is '.mdinternalstructures.Connector#get_connectorOfRedefinedConnector connector Of Redefined Connector'. A Connector may be redefined when its containing Classifier is specialized. The redefining Connector may have a type that specializes the type of the redefined Connector. The types of the ConnectorEnds of the redefining Connector may specialize the types of the ConnectorEnds of the redefined Connector. The properties of the ConnectorEnds of the redefining Connector may be replaced.

Returns:

the value of the 'Redefined Connector' reference list.
