Method Detail

getAttributes

List<IAttribute> getAttributes(boolean includeInherited)

Return a collection of IAttribute objects.

Parameters:

includeInherited - if true, move up the inheritance hierarchy and include all attributes declared in superclasses

Returns:

the attributes

getAttributeByName

IAttribute getAttributeByName(String name,
                              boolean includeInherited)

Return an attribute by name, or null if not found.

Parameters:

name - the name to look for

includeInherited - if true, search the inherited attributes for the name

Returns:

the attribute or null

hasAttribute

boolean hasAttribute(String name)

Return true if a classifier has an attribute with a given name, or false otherwise.

Parameters:

name - the name

Returns:

true if the attribute is present

hasStaticAttributes

boolean hasStaticAttributes()

Return true if the classifier contains any static attributes.

Returns:

true or false

isEnumeration

boolean isEnumeration()

Return true if the classifier is just an enumeration. An enumeration is a collection of static attributes.

Returns:

true or false
