All Known Subinterfaces:

MemberName, TypeName

@UML(identifier="LocalName",

public interface LocalName
extends GenericName

Identifier within a name space for a local object. Local names are names which are directly accessible to and maintained by a name space. Names are local to one and only one name space. The name space within which they are local is indicated by the scope.

Since:

2.0

Method Summary

int	depth() Returns the depth, which is always 1 for a local name.
List<? extends LocalName>	getParsedNames() Returns the sequence of local name.
LocalName	head() Returns this since this object is already a local name.
LocalName	tip() Returns this since this object is already a local name.
String	toString() Returns a locale-independent string representation of this local name.

tip

LocalName tip()

Returns this since this object is already a local name.

Specified by:

tip in interface GenericName

Returns:

The last element in the list of parsed names.

toString

@UML(identifier="aName",
