Method Detail

isContainment

public boolean isContainment()

Returns the value of the 'Containment' attribute. A reference is a containment if it represents by-value content.

Returns:

the value of the 'Containment' attribute.

See Also:

setContainment(boolean), EcorePackage.getEReference_Containment()

setContainment

public void setContainment(boolean value)

Sets the value of the 'Containment' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Containment' attribute.

See Also:

isContainment()

isContainer

public boolean isContainer()

Returns the value of the 'Container' attribute.

A reference is a container if it has an opposite that is a containment.

Returns:

the value of the 'Container' attribute.

See Also:

EcorePackage.getEReference_Container()

isResolveProxies

public boolean isResolveProxies()

Returns the value of the 'Resolve Proxies' attribute. The default value is "true".

It represents whether proxies will be automatically resolved.

Returns:

the value of the 'Resolve Proxies' attribute.

See Also:

setResolveProxies(boolean), EcorePackage.getEReference_ResolveProxies()

setResolveProxies

public void setResolveProxies(boolean value)

Sets the value of the 'Resolve Proxies' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Resolve Proxies' attribute.

See Also:

isResolveProxies()

getEOpposite

public EReference getEOpposite()

Returns the value of the 'EOpposite' reference.

It represent the other end of a bidirectional relation.

Returns:

the value of the 'EOpposite' reference.

See Also:

setEOpposite(EReference), EcorePackage.getEReference_EOpposite()

setEOpposite

public void setEOpposite(EReference value)

Sets the value of the 'EOpposite' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'EOpposite' reference.

See Also:

getEOpposite()

getEReferenceType

public EClass getEReferenceType()

Returns the value of the 'EReference Type' reference.

The type of a reference must always be a class; this method provides access to it.

Returns:

the value of the 'EReference Type' reference.

EcorePackage.getEReference_EReferenceType()
