net.ssehub.easy.instantiation.core.model.vilTypes.configuration.AbstractIvmlTypeDescriptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

IMetaType

Direct Known Subclasses:

IvmlProjectTypeDescriptor, IvmlTypeDescriptor

abstract class AbstractIvmlTypeDescriptor
extends TypeDescriptor<DecisionVariable>

Implements a dynamic type descriptor for IVM decision variables. Instances of this class represent IVML types and act as a frontend for DecisionVariable, thus, decision variables are assignable.

operations - the operations (signature-descriptor) (to be modified as a side effect)

addConversionOperations

protected void addConversionOperations(IDatatype type,
                                       java.util.List<OperationDescriptor> operations)

Adds required conversion operations to operations.

Parameters:

type - the IVML type to add the operations for

operations - the operations to be modified as a side effect

addAttributeFields

protected void addAttributeFields(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,FieldDescriptor> fields,
