public interface Constraint extends org.palladiosimulator.pcm.core.entity.Entity
A representation of the model object 'Constraint'. AT constraints specify what software architects are forbidden to change in a software architecture. Such restrictions prescribe software architects possible design decisions, which can ensure that architectural design remains sound. AT constraints can, thus, formalize reusable architectural knowledge applied to an architectural model. These constraints can then ensure the conformance to the architectural knowledge by prohibiting design decisions that would violate conformance.

The following features are supported:

    • getRole

      Role getRole()
      Returns the value of the 'Role' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Constraints'.

      If the meaning of the 'Role' container reference isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

      Returns:
      the value of the 'Role' container reference.

    • setRole

      void setRole(Role value)
      Sets the value of the 'Role' container reference.
      Parameters:
      value - the new value of the 'Role' container reference.
