    public abstract class AbstractRefAssociation
extends com.nomagic.uml2.ext.jmi.reflect.AbstractRefBaseObjectImpl
implements javax.jmi.reflect.RefAssociation
    The RefAssociation interface provides the metaobject description of an association. It also provides generic operations querying and updating the links that belong to the association. The model of association supported by this interface is of collection of two ended asymmetric links between objects. The links may be viewed as ordered on one or other of the ends, and there may be some form of cardinality constraints on either end. The RefAssociation interface is designed to be used with associations that contain no duplicate links, though this is not an absolute requirement. There is no assumption that different association objects for a given association type are mutually aware. Links are modeled as having no object identity.

      • refAddLink

        public boolean refAddLink​(javax.jmi.reflect.RefObject endOne,
                          javax.jmi.reflect.RefObject endTwo)
        The "refAddLink" operation adds "newLink" into the set of links in the extent of this association object. If one or other of the association's ends is ordered, the link is inserted after the last link with respect to that ordering. Both RefObject members of the "newLink" parameter should be valid instance objects.
        Specified by:
        refAddLink in interface javax.jmi.reflect.RefAssociation

      • refAllLinks

        public java.util.Collection refAllLinks()
        The "refAllLinks" operation returns all links in the link set for this Association object. specific analog: return type: isQuery: parameters: exceptions: none Collection yes none none This operation returns the current link set for the current association extent as defined for the specific version of this operation. Returns all links (Association instances )specified by this association. Returned collection does not support live update as it specified in jmi documentation.
        Specified by:
        refAllLinks in interface javax.jmi.reflect.RefAssociation
