Method Details

findSlot

@CheckForNull
public static Slot findSlot(InstanceSpecification instanceSpecification,
 Property property)

Looks for existing slot for a given property in given instance.

Parameters:

instanceSpecification - instance

property - definingFeature of slot

Returns:

found slot or null

getSlot

@CheckForNull
public static Slot getSlot(InstanceSpecification instance,
 Property property,
 boolean createSlotIfNotExists)

Returns existing of creates a new Slot for the given property. If new Slot is created, it will be filled with value from the property default values.

Parameters:

instance - instance specification

property - feature

createSlotIfNotExists - create a new slot if needed

Returns:

slot

getSlot

@CheckForNull
public static Slot getSlot(InstanceSpecification instance,
 Property property,
 boolean createSlotIfNotExists,
 boolean createDefaultValue)

Returns existing of creates a new Slot for the given property

Parameters:

instance - instance specification

property - feature

createSlotIfNotExists - create a new slot if needed

createDefaultValue - fill slot value from property default value

Returns:

slot

createSlotsForDefaultValues

public static void createSlotsForDefaultValues(InstanceSpecification instance,
 boolean createAll)

Creates slots for properties of all assigned classifiers to instance.

Parameters:

instance - instance

createAll - true, to create slots for all properties(even without default value)

createSlotsForDefaultValues

public static void createSlotsForDefaultValues(InstanceSpecification instance,
 Classifier classifier,
 boolean createAll)

Creates slots for properties of given classifier.

Parameters:

instance - instance

classifier - classifier

createAll - true, to create slots for all properties (even without default value)

createSlot

@CheckForNull
public static Slot createSlot(InstanceSpecification instance,

 boolean createDefaultValue)

Creates slot for property

Parameters:

instance - instance

property - property

createDefaultValue - fill slot value from property default value

Returns:

slot for property

setSlotValue

public static void setSlotValue(Slot slot,
 @CheckForNull
 String value)

Set slot value from a given string. Given string will by parsed by the slot type. For example if slot values are booleans, string should be "true".

Parameters:

slot - slot

value - value string representation.

getValueBySlot

@CheckForNull
public static Object getValueBySlot(@CheckForNull
 Slot slot)

Retrieves values of slots as object, not as ValueSpecifications. Takes into account multiplicity of slot's defining feature. Collection is returned if slot multiplicity is many.

Parameters:

slot - slot

Returns:

value of slot

setClassifierForInstanceSpecification

public static void setClassifierForInstanceSpecification(Classifier classifier,
 InstanceSpecification instance,
 boolean createSlots)

Set classifier for instance

Parameters:

instance - instance

createSlots - true if slots needs to be created

setClassifierForInstanceSpecification

public static void setClassifierForInstanceSpecification(@CheckForNull
 Collection<? extends Classifier> classifiers,
 InstanceSpecification instance,
 boolean createSlots)

Set classifiers for instance

Parameters:

classifiers - classifiers

instance - instance

createSlots - true if slots needs to be created

• createSlotsForDefaultValues(InstanceSpecification, boolean)

getAssignableAssociationsForLink

public static List<Association> getAssignableAssociationsForLink(InstanceSpecification clientInstance,

isLink

public static boolean isLink(@CheckForNull
 InstanceSpecification instance)

Checks if InstanceSpecification is Link.

Parameters:
