Operation Details

In defining the behaviors of the model elements you create, you can also define how the operations translate into methods in code. For this, you set options on the 'Method <operation name>' panel of the 'Operations' tab of the 'Features' dialog.

Option	Action	See also
Concurrency	Click on the drop-down arrow and select the concurrency of the operation - Sequential, Guarded or Synchronous.
Virtual	If the operation's language is set to C++, click on the drop-down arrow and map to the C++ Virtual keyword. Otherwise this option is 'Abstract'. (This option is not shown for State or StateMachine elements.)
Abstract	Pertaining to an abstract function. Click on the drop-down arrow and set to True or False. (This option is not shown for State or StateMachine elements.)
Static	Indicate whether the operation is a static member. Click on the drop-down arrow and select True or False (This option is not shown for State or StateMachine elements.)
Modifiers	Click on the button to display the 'Select Modifiers' dialog, and select the appropriate checkboxes: 'Pure' - indicates that the method statement is pure virtual syntax. For example: virtual void myFunction() = 0; 'Const' - indicates that the return type of the method is constant 'Is Query' - indicates that the method does not modify the object 'Return Array' - indicates that the method's returned value is in the form of an array 'Synchronized' - for Java, sets a code engineering flag that relates to multi threading (These options are not shown for State or StateMachine elements.)
Advanced	Click on the drop-down arrow and select True for each coding convention to assign as a Tagged Value on the operation (corresponding to a coding keyword).	Modeling Conventions
