Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the plural label for the given locale.

Returns the association's plural name if no plural label for the given locale exists.

Specified by:

getLabelForPlural in interface IModelTypeAssociation

getModelType

public IModelType getModelType()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the model type this association belongs to.

Specified by:

getModelType in interface IModelTypeAssociation

getAssociationType

public IModelTypeAssociation.AssociationType getAssociationType()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the type of this association.

Specified by:

getAssociationType in interface IModelTypeAssociation

getMaxCardinality

public int getMaxCardinality()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the maximum cardinality for this association. Integer.MAX_VALUE if no maximum is set.

Specified by:

getMaxCardinality in interface IModelTypeAssociation

getMinCardinality

public int getMinCardinality()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the minimum cardinality for this association. 0 if no minimum is set.

Specified by:

getMinCardinality in interface IModelTypeAssociation

getNamePlural

public String getNamePlural()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the plural form of this model type's name or null if no plural for for the name is set.

Specified by:

getNamePlural in interface IModelTypeAssociation

getTarget

public IModelType getTarget()
                     throws ClassNotFoundException

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the target model type object of this association.

Specified by:

getTarget in interface IModelTypeAssociation

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if the target class could not be loaded.

getTargetObjects

public List<IModelObject> getTargetObjects(IModelObject source)

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns a list of the target(s) of the given model object's association identified by this model type association.

Specified by:

getTargetObjects in interface IModelTypeAssociation

Parameters:

source - a model object corresponding to the IModelType this association belongs to

Returns:

a list of the target(s) of the given model object's association identified by this model type association

isProductRelevant

public boolean isProductRelevant()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns if this association is product relevant.

Specified by:

isProductRelevant in interface IModelTypeAssociation

initFromXml

public void initFromXml(XMLStreamReader parser)
                 throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: IModelElement

Initializes the model element's state with the data stored in the xml element at the parser's current position.

Specified by:

initFromXml in interface IModelElement

Overrides:

initFromXml in class AbstractModelElement

Throws:

XMLStreamException

initLabelFromXml

protected void initLabelFromXml(XMLStreamReader parser)

Overrides:

initLabelFromXml in class AbstractModelElement

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getUsedName

public String getUsedName()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the singular or plural form of this model type's name as used in code generation depending on cardinality.

Specified by:

getUsedName in interface IModelTypeAssociation

isDerivedUnion

public boolean isDerivedUnion()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns if this association is a derived union.

Specified by:

isDerivedUnion in interface IModelTypeAssociation

isSubsetOfADerivedUnion

public boolean isSubsetOfADerivedUnion()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns if this association is a subset of a derived union.

Specified by:

isSubsetOfADerivedUnion in interface IModelTypeAssociation

getInverseAssociation

public String getInverseAssociation()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the name of the inverse association if it is defined.

Specified by:

getInverseAssociation in interface IModelTypeAssociation

Returns:

The name of the inverse association or null for product component associations

getMatchingAssociationName

public String getMatchingAssociationName()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the name of the matching product respectively policy component type association or null if no matching association is defined for this associations.

Example: Taking two policy component types called 'Policy' and 'Coverage' with a composition association between them. Policy is constrained by the product component type 'Product' and coverage by 'CoverageType'. There is also an association from 'Product' to 'CoverageType'. The product association configures the policy association. If this is a model type association for the policy association this method returns the name of the matching product association and vice versa.

Specified by:

getMatchingAssociationName in interface IModelTypeAssociation

Returns:

The name of the matchingAssoctiation

getMatchingAssociationSource

public String getMatchingAssociationSource()

Description copied from interface: IModelTypeAssociation

Returns the qualified target name of the matching product respectively policy component type association or null if no matching association is defined for component associations.

Example: Taking two policy component types called 'Policy' and 'Coverage' with a composition association between them. Policy is constrained by the product component type 'Product' and coverage by 'CoverageType'. There is also an association from 'Product' to 'CoverageType'. The product association configures the policy association. If this is a model type association for the policy association this method returns the source of the matching product association and vice versa. The source is the type which defines the matching association.

Specified by:

getMatchingAssociationSource in interface IModelTypeAssociation

Returns:

The qualified name of the matchingAssoctiation
