Constructor Detail

ConceptFunctionDefinitionAttribute

public ConceptFunctionDefinitionAttribute(CompositeEntity container,
                                          java.lang.String name)
                                   throws IllegalActionException,
                                          NameDuplicationException

Construct the ConceptFunctionDefinitionAttribute attribute with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this attribute.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the entity cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

createConceptFunction

public abstract ConceptFunction createConceptFunction()
                                               throws IllegalActionException

Return the concept function defined by this attribute. Derived classes must implement this method based on how they define their concept function.
