Method Summary

AssociationFacade	getAssociation() The association owning this association end.
String	getGetterName() A name suitable for use when accessing this association end in programming code.
String	getGetterSetterTypeName() The name of the type that is returned on the accessor and mutator operations, determined in part by the multiplicity.
int	getLower() the lower value for the multiplicity
AssociationEndFacade	getOtherEnd() The other association end owned by this end's association.
String	getSetterName() A name suitable for use when accessing this association end in programming code.
ClassifierFacade	getType() The classifier attached to this association end.
int	getUpper() the upper value for the multiplicity (will be -1 for *)
boolean	isAggregation() True if this association end represents an aggregation relationship.
boolean	isAssociationEndFacadeMetaType() Indicates the metafacade type (used for metafacade mappings).
boolean	isChild() Returns whether or not (true/false) this association end is the child end of the assocation (i.e.
boolean	isComposition() True if this association end represents a composition relationship.
boolean	isMany() True if this association end's multiplicity is greater than one.
boolean	isMany2Many() True if this association end's and the other end's multiplicities are both many.
boolean	isMany2One() True if this association end's multiplicity is many while the other end's is one.
boolean	isNavigable() True if it is possible to navigate from the other end to this association end .
boolean	isOne2Many() True if this association end's multiplicity is one while the other end's is many.
boolean	isOne2One() True if this association end's and the other end's multiplicities are both one.
boolean	isOrdered() Indicates whether or not the association ends are ordered (if multiplicity is greater than 1).
boolean	isReadOnly() True if the association end cannot be changed.
boolean	isRequired() True if this association end's multiplicity is strictly greater than zero.

getGetterName

public String getGetterName()

A name suitable for use when accessing this association end in programming code.

getGetterSetterTypeName

public String getGetterSetterTypeName()

The name of the type that is returned on the accessor and mutator operations, determined in part by the multiplicity.

getLower

public int getLower()

the lower value for the multiplicity

-only applicable for UML2

getOtherEnd

A name suitable for use when accessing this association end in programming code.

getType

public ClassifierFacade getType()

The classifier attached to this association end.

getUpper

public int getUpper()

the upper value for the multiplicity (will be -1 for *)

-only applicable for UML2

isAggregation

public boolean isAggregation()

True if this association end represents an aggregation relationship.

isChild

public boolean isChild()

True if this association end represents a composition relationship.

isMany

public boolean isMany()

True if this association end's multiplicity is greater than one.

isMany2Many

public boolean isMany2Many()

True if this association end's and the other end's multiplicities are both many.

isMany2One

public boolean isMany2One()

True if this association end's multiplicity is many while the other end's is one.

isNavigable

public boolean isNavigable()

True if it is possible to navigate from the other end to this association end .

isOne2Many

public boolean isOne2Many()

True if this association end's multiplicity is one while the other end's is many.

isOne2One

public boolean isOne2One()

True if this association end's and the other end's multiplicities are both one.

isOrdered

public boolean isOrdered()

Indicates whether or not the association ends are ordered (if multiplicity is greater than 1).

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly()

True if the association end cannot be changed.

isRequired

public boolean isRequired()
