Interface EGenericType

All Superinterfaces:

EObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

EGenericTypeImpl

public interface EGenericType
extends EObject

A representation of the model object 'EGeneric Type'. A generic type is analogous to Java 5.0 Type. It can represent a reference to a type parameter, a reference to a classifier, along with optional type arguments if the classifier specify type parameters, or a wildcard with an optional upper or lower bound.

Since:

2.3

The following features are supported:

• EUpper Bound
• EType Arguments
• ERaw Type
• ELower Bound
• EType Parameter
• EClassifier

See Also:

EcorePackage.getEGenericType()

Method Detail

getEUpperBound

EGenericType getEUpperBound()

Returns the value of the 'EUpper Bound' containment reference.

A generic type with an upper bound T, is equivalent to "? extends T" in Java.

Returns:

the value of the 'EUpper Bound' containment reference.

See Also:

setEUpperBound(EGenericType), EcorePackage.getEGenericType_EUpperBound()

setEUpperBound

void setEUpperBound(EGenericType value)

Sets the value of the 'EUpper Bound' containment reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'EUpper Bound' containment reference.

See Also:

getEUpperBound()

getETypeArguments

<any> getETypeArguments()

Returns the value of the 'EType Arguments' containment reference list. The list contents are of type EGenericType.

These represent the template arguments applied to a classifier with type parameters, e.g., Map<T>.

Returns:

the value of the 'EType Arguments' containment reference list.

See Also:

EcorePackage.getEGenericType_ETypeArguments()

getERawType

EClassifier getERawType()

Returns the value of the 'ERaw Type' reference.

This represents the erased or raw type of the generic type.

Returns:

the value of the 'ERaw Type' reference.

See Also:

EcorePackage.getEGenericType_ERawType()

getELowerBound

EGenericType getELowerBound()

Returns the value of the 'ELower Bound' containment reference.

A generic type with a lower bound T, is equivalent to "? super T" in Java.

Returns:

the value of the 'ELower Bound' containment reference.

See Also:

setELowerBound(EGenericType), EcorePackage.getEGenericType_ELowerBound()

setELowerBound

void setELowerBound(EGenericType value)

Sets the value of the 'ELower Bound' containment reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'ELower Bound' containment reference.

See Also:

getELowerBound()

getETypeParameter

ETypeParameter getETypeParameter()

Returns the value of the 'EType Parameter' reference.

The represents a reference to a type parameter.

Returns:

the value of the 'EType Parameter' reference.

See Also:

setETypeParameter(ETypeParameter), EcorePackage.getEGenericType_ETypeParameter()

setETypeParameter

void setETypeParameter(ETypeParameter value)

Sets the value of the 'EType Parameter' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'EType Parameter' reference.

See Also:

getETypeParameter()

getEClassifier

EClassifier getEClassifier()

Returns the value of the 'EClassifier' reference.

The represents a reference to a classifier.

Returns:

the value of the 'EClassifier' reference.

See Also:

setEClassifier(EClassifier), EcorePackage.getEGenericType_EClassifier()

setEClassifier

void setEClassifier(EClassifier value)

Sets the value of the 'EClassifier' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'EClassifier' reference.

See Also:

getEClassifier()

isInstance

boolean isInstance(java.lang.Object object)

Returns whether the object is an instance of this generic type.
