Specified by:

getType in interface ObjectModelParameter

Returns:

the type of this attribute.

isAggregate

boolean isAggregate()

Returns whether this attribute is an aggregate or not.

Returns:

true if this attribute is an aggregate or not.

isComposite

boolean isComposite()

Returns whether this attribute is a composite or not.

Returns:

true if this attribute is a composite or not.

getVisibility

String getVisibility()

Returns the visibility of this attribute. Possible values includes public, protected and private.

Returns:

the visibility of this attribute.

referenceClassifier

boolean referenceClassifier()

Returns whether this attribute reference a model classifier or not.

Returns:

a boolean indicating whether this attribute reference a model classifier or not.

getClassifier

ObjectModelClassifier getClassifier()

Returns the classifier referenced by this attribute or null if it does not reference a model classifier.

Returns:

the ObjectModelClassfifier referenced by this attribute or null if it does not reference a model classifier.

getReverseAttribute
