  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    In 13.6, elementsOfType has a parameter includeSubtypes, but linksOfType does not. There is no reason for this disparity – Associations can be generalized.

  • Disposition: Resolved — MOF 2.4
  • Disposition Summary:

    Clause 13.7 – operation linksOfType()
    Replace the signature:
    linksOfType(type : Association) : Link[0..*]
    by:
    linksOfType(type : Association, includesSubtypes : Boolean) : Link[0..*]
    Perform the same change in the MOF model.
    Replace the explanatory sentence following signature by the following text:
    This returns those links in the extent that are instances of the supplied Association,
    or of any of its specializations if includesSubtypes is true.
