Method Detail

getID

String getID()

The compile-time identifier specified for this instance.

Returns:

The id as a String, or null if no compile-time identifier was specified.

getEffectiveID

String getEffectiveID()

The compile-time identifier used by the compiler for this instance. If no id is specified, then the compiler generates an identifier if one is needed.

Returns:

The id as a String, or null if the instance does not have an identifier.

resolveID

IVariableDefinition resolveID()

Returns the variable definition that is generated by the id.

Returns:

An IVariableDefinition object representing the variable definition.

getIncludeIn

String[] getIncludeIn()

The states (or state groups) in which this instance is included.

Returns:

An array of Strings which are the names of states or state groups.

getExcludeFrom

String[] getExcludeFrom()

The states (or state groups) from which this instance is excluded.

Returns:

An array of Strings which are the names of states or state groups.

getItemCreationPolicy

String getItemCreationPolicy()

The item creation policy for this instance.

Returns:

Either "immediate" or "deferred".

getItemDestructionPolicy

String getItemDestructionPolicy()

The item destruction policy for this instance.

Returns:

Either "auto" or "never".

isEqual

boolean isEqual(IMXMLInstanceNode node)

If this node is the same. When properties of type array don't have a child node of array, we insert an array and walk again which creates new instances of the same node.

Returns:

true if node has same line number.
