Package com.ashridgetech.jamda.uml Description

Provides classes and interfaces for handling UML metamodel elements.

Overall Structure

The top-level class which represents the whole metamodel is Model. From this class it is possible to query and navigate to all the elements contained within the model. This class is also responsible for loading and saving models in XMI format. The base class for all the metamodel element classes is ModelElement. This class implements many functions that are common to all metamodel elements. Some metamodel elements have additional subclasses for specialised instances of those elements, for example Operation and its subclass Constructor, and Parameter and its subclass ReturnParameter.

Properties

It is useful to be able to handle all the parts of an element which represent a property of the element in a similar manner. The Property interface fulfils this role, and it has several implementations based on Attributes Operations and Association.Ends for StructuredTypes, and also Parameters for an Operation. Property elements can be selected using PropertyPredicate and transformed using PropertyTransformer.

Standard Elements

Certain elements may be required in the Model in order to support transformations. These may be Stereotypes or TagDefinitions that identify particular elements or properties used by the transformation, or they may be Types that need to be present in the Model. These required elements are represented by StandardElementDef and its subclasses.
