createMultiplicity

java.lang.Object createMultiplicity(int lower,
                                    int upper)

Create an initialized instance of a UML Multiplicity. Quote from the standard: "In the metamodel a MultiplicityRange defines a range of integers. The upper bound of the range cannot be below the lower bound. The lower bound must be a nonnegative integer. The upper bound must be a nonnegative integer or the special value unlimited, which indicates there is no upper bound on the range."

Although the UML specification doesn't say so, the special value 'unlimited' is encoded as -1 by convention.

Parameters:

lower - the lower bound of the range

upper - the upper bound of the range. The integer value -1 represents the special UML value 'unlimited'

Returns:

an initialized UML Multiplicity instance.

createMultiplicity

java.lang.Object createMultiplicity(java.util.List range)

Create an initialized instance of a UML Multiplicity.

Parameters:

range - a List containing the range

Returns:

an initialized UML Multiplicity instance.

createMultiplicity

java.lang.Object createMultiplicity(java.lang.String str)

Create an initialized instance of a UML Multiplicity.

Parameters:

str - a String representing the multiplicity

Returns:

an initialized UML Multiplicity instance.

createMultiplicityRange

java.lang.Object createMultiplicityRange(java.lang.String str)

Create a MultiplicityRange from a string.

Parameters:

str - the string definition of the range. The string has the form lower..upper where lower and upper are non-negative integers are the asterisk character (*) representing "unlimited". The string "*" is equivalent to "0..*".

Returns:

MultiplicityRange A multiplicity range

Since:

UML 1.4

createMultiplicityRange

java.lang.Object createMultiplicityRange(int lower,
                                         int upper)

Create a MultiplicityRange from a pair of integers.

Parameters:

lower - the lower bound of the range

upper - the upper bound of the range

Returns:

MultiplictyRange A multiplicity range

Since:

UML 1.4
