Abstract Class UML 2.5::BehavioralFeature

Description:

A BehavioralFeature is a feature of a Classifier that specifies an aspect of the behavior of its instances. A BehavioralFeature is implemented (realized) by a Behavior. A BehavioralFeature specifies that a Classifier will respond to a designated request by invoking its implementing method.

Direct Superclasses: Feature, Namespace

Direct Subclasses: Reception, Operation

Class Precedence List: BehavioralFeature, Feature, RedefinableElement, Namespace, NamedElement, Element

Properties:

featuringClassifier : Classifier (0 1); -- source Feature
isStatic : Boolean (1 1); -- source Feature

Specifies whether this Feature characterizes individual instances classified by the Classifier (false) or the Classifier itself (true).
Default value: FALSE

member : NamedElement (0 *); -- source Namespace

A collection of NamedElements identifiable within the Namespace, either by being owned or by being introduced by importing or inheritance.

Constraints:

Signature: CMOF_14_3_17() : Boolean;
Description: 14.3 [17] BehavioralFeature must be sequential https://sites.google.com/site/metamodelingantipatterns/catalog/mof/behavioral-feature-is-not-sequential
Expression: concurrency = CallConcurrencyKind::sequential

Operations:

Signature: outputParameters() : Parameter;
Description: The ownedParameters with direction out, inout, or return.
Expression: result = (ownedParameter->select(direction=ParameterDirectionKind::out or direction=ParameterDirectionKind::inout or direction=ParameterDirectionKind::return))

Signature: isDistinguishableFrom(n : NamedElement; ns : Namespace; ) : Boolean;
Description: The query isDistinguishableFrom() determines whether two BehavioralFeatures may coexist in the same Namespace. It specifies that they must have different signatures.
Expression: result = ((n.oclIsKindOf(BehavioralFeature) and ns.getNamesOfMember(self)->intersection(ns.getNamesOfMember(n))->notEmpty()) implies Set{self}->including(n.oclAsType(BehavioralFeature))->isUnique(ownedParameter->collect(p| Tuple { name=p.name, type=p.type,effect=p.effect,direction=p.direction,isException=p.isException, isStream=p.isStream,isOrdered=p.isOrdered,isUnique=p.isUnique,lower=p.lower, upper=p.upper })) )

Signature: inputParameters() : Parameter;
Description: The ownedParameters with direction in and inout.
Expression: result = (ownedParameter->select(direction=ParameterDirectionKind::_'in' or direction=ParameterDirectionKind::inout))
