Interface Match

All Superinterfaces:
EObject, Notifier
All Known Implementing Classes:
MatchImpl, MatchSpec, NotLoadedFragmentMatch
public interface Match extends EObject
A representation of the model object 'Match'. A MatchElement describes the mapping between the EObjects of two or three resources. This will reference all three of left, right and origin resources. However, note that instances of this class will also represent unmatched elements, in which case only one of either "left" or "right" will be assigned.

The following features are supported:

    • getSubmatches

      EList<Match> getSubmatches()
      Returns the value of the 'Submatches' containment reference list. The list contents are of type Match. The MatchElements will "mimic" the hierarchy of the input model(s). This containment feature will serve that purpose.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Submatches' containment reference list.

    • getDifferences

      EList<Diff> getDifferences()
      Returns the value of the 'Differences' containment reference list. The list contents are of type Diff. This will contain the list of all differences pertaining to this mapping, if any.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Differences' containment reference list.

    • getLeft

      EObject getLeft()
      Returns the value of the 'Left' reference. This can be null in the case of unmatched elements in the right model. In all other cases, it will reference the left element of this mapping.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Left' reference.

    • setLeft

      void setLeft(EObject value)
      Sets the value of the 'Left' reference.
      Parameters:
      value - the new value of the 'Left' reference.

    • getRight

      EObject getRight()
      Returns the value of the 'Right' reference. This can be null in the case of unmatched elements in the left model. In all other cases, it will reference the right element of this mapping.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Right' reference.

    • setRight

      void setRight(EObject value)
      Sets the value of the 'Right' reference.
      Parameters:
      value - the new value of the 'Right' reference.

    • getOrigin

      EObject getOrigin()
      Returns the value of the 'Origin' reference. This can be null in the case of two-way comparisons, or unmatched elements that are only located in either left or right, i.e an element that was added since the origin, either in the left copy or the right one. In any other course of event, this will reference the origin element of this mapping.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Origin' reference.

      Generated:

    • setOrigin

      void setOrigin(EObject value)
      Sets the value of the 'Origin' reference.
      Parameters:
      value - the new value of the 'Origin' reference.
