UMLRole::UMLRole	(	UMLAssociation *	parent,
		UMLObject *	parentUMLObject,
		Uml::Role_Type	role
	)

Sets up an association.

Parameters:

	parent	The parent (association) of this UMLRole.
	parentUMLObject	The Parent UML Object of this UMLRole
	role	The Uml::Role_Type of this UMLRole

Member Function Documentation

UMLObject* UMLRole::clone

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

Implements UMLObject.

Definition at line 64 of file umlrole.h.

Uml::Changeability_Type UMLRole::getChangeability

(

)

const

Returns the Changeablity of the role.

Returns:

Changeability_Type of role.

Definition at line 66 of file umlrole.cpp.

QString UMLRole::getMultiplicity

(

)

const

Returns the multiplicity assigned to the role.

Returns:

The multiplicity assigned to the role.

Definition at line 76 of file umlrole.cpp.

UMLObject * UMLRole::getObject

(

)

Returns the UMLObject assigned to the role.

Returns:

Pointer to the UMLObject in role.

Definition at line 56 of file umlrole.cpp.

UMLAssociation * UMLRole::getParentAssociation

(

)

Definition at line 47 of file umlrole.cpp.

Uml::Role_Type UMLRole::getRole

(

)

get the 'id' of the role (NOT the parent object).

This could be either Uml::A or Uml::B. Yes, it would be better if we could get along without this, but we need it to distinguish saved umlrole objects in the XMI for 'self' associations where both roles will point to the same underlying UMLObject.

Definition at line 131 of file umlrole.cpp.

bool UMLRole::load

(

QDomElement &

element

)

[protected, virtual]

Loads the <UML:AssociationEnd> XMI element.

Auxiliary to UMLObject::loadFromXMI.

There are different ways in which the multiplicity might be given:

• direct value in the <AssociationEnd.multiplicity> tag,
• attributes "lower" and "upper" of a subordinate <MultiplicityRange>,
• direct value in subordinate <MultiplicityRange.lower> and <MultiplicityRange.upper> tags

Reimplemented from UMLObject.

Definition at line 213 of file umlrole.cpp.

bool UMLRole::operator==

(

const UMLRole &

rhs

)

Overloaded '==' operator.

Reimplemented from UMLObject.

Definition at line 35 of file umlrole.cpp.

void UMLRole::saveToXMI	(	QDomDocument &	qDoc,
		QDomElement &	qElement
	)			[virtual]

Creates the <UML:AssociationEnd> XMI element.

Implements UMLObject.

Definition at line 154 of file umlrole.cpp.

void UMLRole::setChangeability

(

Uml::Changeability_Type

value

)

Sets the changeability of the role.

Parameters:

value

Changeability_Type of role changeability.

Definition at line 108 of file umlrole.cpp.

void UMLRole::setMultiplicity

(

const QString &

multi

)

Sets the multiplicity of the role.

Parameters:

multi

The multiplicity of role.

Definition at line 119 of file umlrole.cpp.

void UMLRole::setObject

(

UMLObject *

obj

)

Sets the UMLObject playing the role in the association.

Parameters:

obj

Pointer to the UMLObject of role.

Definition at line 86 of file umlrole.cpp.
