public class AttributeNotationUml
extends AttributeNotation

The notation for an attribute for UML.

AttributeNotationUml

protected AttributeNotationUml()

The constructor.

getInstance

public static final AttributeNotationUml getInstance()

Returns:

the singleton

parse

public void parse(java.lang.Object modelElement,
                  java.lang.String text)

Description copied from class: NotationProvider

Parses the given text, and adapts the modelElement and maybe related elements accordingly.

Specified by:

parse in class NotationProvider

Parameters:

modelElement - the modelelement to adapt

text - the string given by the user to be parsed to adapt the model

parseAttributeFig

public void parseAttributeFig(java.lang.Object classifier,
                              java.lang.Object attribute,
                              java.lang.String text)
                       throws java.text.ParseException

Parse a string representing one ore more ';' separated attributes. The case that a String or char contains a ';' (e.g. in an initializer) is handled, but not other occurrences of ';'.

Parameters:

classifier - Classifier The classifier the attribute(s) belong to

attribute - Attribute The attribute on which the editing happened

text - The string to parse

Throws:

java.text.ParseException - for invalid input

parseAttribute

protected void parseAttribute(java.lang.String text,
                              java.lang.Object attribute)
                       throws java.text.ParseException

Parse a line on the form:

      visibility name [: type-expression] [= initial-value]
 

• If only one of visibility and name is given, then it is assumed to be the name and the visibility is left unchanged.
• Type and initial value can be given in any order.
• Properties can be given between any element in the form

        {[name] [= [value]] [, ...]}
   

• Multiplicity can be given between any element except after the initial-value and before the type or end (to allow java-style array indexing in the initial value). It must be given on form [multiplicity] with the square brackets included.
• Stereotypes can be given between any element except after the initial-value and before the type or end (to allow java-style bit-shifts in the initial value). It must be given on form <<stereotype1,stereotype2,stereotype3>>.

The following properties are recognized to have special meaning: frozen.

This syntax is compatible with the UML 1.3 spec. (formerly: visibility name [multiplicity] : type-expression = initial-value {property-string} ) (2nd formerly: [visibility] [keywords] type name [= init] [;] )

Parameters:

text - The String to parse.

attribute - The attribute to modify to comply with the instructions in s.

Throws:

java.text.ParseException - when it detects an error in the attribute string. See also ParseError.getErrorOffset().

getParsingHelp

public java.lang.String getParsingHelp()

Specified by:

getParsingHelp in class NotationProvider

Returns:

a i18 key that represents a help string giving an explanation to the user of the syntax

toString

public java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object modelElement,
                                 NotationSettings settings)

Description copied from class: NotationProvider

Generate a string representation for the given model element.

Specified by:

toString in class NotationProvider

Parameters:

modelElement - the base UML element

settings - settings that control rendering of the text

Returns:

the string written in the correct notation
