OF DEFINITION AND SUPERS REFERENCED IN

Customizing the metamodel : Keywords for USRPROPS : OF DEFINITION AND SUPERS REFERENCED IN

Enables you to specify a restricted list of definitions that you can choose from when you click Choices for a property – this restricted list references elements of a particular definition and elements of any other definition that it inherits from (is attached to through an inheritance line). It is used to add further refinement to an EDIT LISTOF or EDIT ONEOF statement, and is used in UML modeling.

Example

DEFINITION "Message/Stimulus"

{

PROPERTY "To Package" { KEY EDIT OneOf "Package" RELATE

BY "is keyed by" READONLY}

PROPERTY "To Class" { KEY EDIT OneOf "Class" KEYED BY

{ "Package":"To Package", Name } }

PROPERTY "To Object"{ KEY EDIT OneOf "Object" KEYED BY

{ "Package":"To Package", "Class":"To Class",Name} }

PROPERTY "Operation" { EDIT ParmOneOf "Method"

OF DEFINITION AND SUPERS REFERENCED IN "To Class"

KEYED BY { "Package" QUALIFIABLE,"Class Name"

QUALIFIABLE,"Formal Parameters" QUALIFIABLE ,Name}

LENGTH 1000 DISPLAY {FORMAT COMPONENT_SCRIPT

_FmtNewUMLEventOperation LEGEND "$$NONE$$" } LABEL

"Method" HELP "Choose a method from the proper class" }

In the example above, when you click Choices in the message definition, you get methods of the class that the message line is attached to (the "To Class", not the "From Class"), and any methods of any class that is a superclass of that class (connected to that class through an inheritance line).
