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:

    • 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.

    • setType

      void setType(@CheckForNull Association value)
      Sets the value of the 'Type' reference.
      Parameters:
      value - the new value of the 'Type' reference.

    • get_messageOfConnector

      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.

      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:

    • getContract

      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.

    • getRedefinedConnector

      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.

    • getEnd

      List<ConnectorEnd> getEnd()
      Returns the value of the 'End' containment reference list. The list contents are of type ConnectorEnd. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'connector Of End'. A Connector has at least two ConnectorEnds, each representing the participation of instances of the Classifiers typing the ConnectableElements attached to the end. The set of ConnectorEnds is ordered.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'End' containment reference list.

      Returns the value of the 'Kind' attribute. The literals are from the enumeration ConnectorKind. Indicates the kind of Connector. This is derived: a Connector with one or more ends connected to a Port which is not on a Part and which is not a behavior port is a delegation; otherwise it is an assembly.
      Returns:
