Property

A representation of the model object ' Port '. A port is a property of a classifier that specifies a distinct interaction point between that classifier and its environment or between the (behavior of the) classifier and its internal parts. Ports are connected to properties of the classifier by connectors through which requests can be made to invoke the behavioral features of a classifier. A Port may specify the services a classifier provides (offers) to its environment as well as the services that a classifier expects (requires) of its environment. A port has an associated protocol state machine.

The following features are supported:

Method Detail

isBehavior

boolean isBehavior()
Returns the value of the ' Is Behavior ' attribute. The default value is "false". Specifies whether requests arriving at this port are sent to the classifier behavior of this classifier. Such ports are referred to as behavior port. Any invocation of a behavioral feature targeted at a behavior port will be handled by the instance of the owning classifier itself, rather than by any instances that this classifier may contain.

Returns:
the value of the 'Is Behavior' attribute.
See Also:
setIsBehavior(boolean), UMLPackage.getPort_IsBehavior()

setIsBehavior

void setIsBehavior(boolean value)
Sets the value of the ' Is Behavior' attribute.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Is Behavior' attribute.
See Also:
isBehavior()

isService

boolean isService()
Returns the value of the ' Is Service ' attribute. The default value is "true". If true indicates that this port is used to provide the published functionality of a classifier; if false, this port is used to implement the classifier but is not part of the essential externally-visible functionality of the classifier and can, therefore, be altered or deleted along with the internal implementation of the classifier and other properties that are considered part of its implementation.

Returns:
the value of the 'Is Service' attribute.
See Also:
setIsService(boolean), UMLPackage.getPort_IsService()

setIsService

void setIsService(boolean value)
Sets the value of the ' Is Service' attribute.

Parameters:
value - the new value of the 'Is Service' attribute.
See Also:
isService()

getRequireds

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<
Interface> getRequireds()
Returns the value of the ' Required ' reference list. The list contents are of type Interface. References the interfaces specifying the set of operations and receptions which the classifier expects its environment to handle. This association is derived as the set of interfaces required by the type of the port or its supertypes.

Returns:
the value of the 'Required' reference list.
See Also:
UMLPackage.getPort_Required()

getRequired


Interface getRequired(java.lang.String name)
Retrieves the first Interface with the specified ' Name ' from the ' Required ' reference list.

Parameters:
name - The ' Name ' of the Interface to retrieve, or null.
Returns:
The first Interface with the specified ' Name ', or null.
See Also:
getRequireds()

getRequired


Interface getRequired(java.lang.String name,
                      boolean ignoreCase)
Retrieves the first Interface with the specified ' Name ' from the ' Required ' reference list.

Parameters:
name - The ' Name ' of the Interface to retrieve, or null.
ignoreCase - Whether to ignore case in String comparisons.
Returns:
The first Interface with the specified ' Name ', or null.
See Also:
getRequireds()

getRedefinedPorts

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<
Port> getRedefinedPorts()
Returns the value of the ' Redefined Port ' reference list. The list contents are of type Port.

This feature subsets the following features:

A port may be redefined when its containing classifier is specialized. The redefining port may have additional interfaces to those that are associated with the redefined port or it may replace an interface by one of its subtypes.

Returns:
the value of the 'Redefined Port' reference list.
See Also:
UMLPackage.getPort_RedefinedPort()

getRedefinedPort


Port getRedefinedPort(java.lang.String name,
                      
Type type)
Retrieves the first Port with the specified ' Name ', and ' Type ' from the ' Redefined Port ' reference list.

Parameters:
name - The ' Name ' of the Port to retrieve, or null.
type - The ' Type ' of the Port to retrieve, or null.
Returns:
The first Port with the specified ' Name ', and ' Type ', or null.
See Also:
getRedefinedPorts()

getRedefinedPort


Port getRedefinedPort(java.lang.String name,
                      
Type type,
                      boolean ignoreCase)
Retrieves the first Port with the specified ' Name ', and ' Type ' from the ' Redefined Port ' reference list.

Parameters:
name - The ' Name ' of the Port to retrieve, or null.
type - The ' Type ' of the Port to retrieve, or null.
ignoreCase - Whether to ignore case in String comparisons.
Returns:
The first Port with the specified ' Name ', and ' Type ', or null.
See Also:
getRedefinedPorts()

getProvideds

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<
Interface> getProvideds()
Returns the value of the ' Provided ' reference list. The list contents are of type Interface. References the interfaces specifying the set of operations and receptions which the classifier offers to its environment, and which it will handle either directly or by forwarding it to a part of its internal structure. This association is derived from the interfaces realized by the type of the port or by the type of the port, if the port was typed by an interface.

Returns:
the value of the 'Provided' reference list.
See Also:
UMLPackage.getPort_Provided()

getProvided


Interface getProvided(java.lang.String name)
Retrieves the first Interface with the specified ' Name ' from the ' Provided ' reference list.

Parameters:
name - The ' Name ' of the Interface to retrieve, or null.
Returns:
The first Interface with the specified ' Name ', or null.
