User Manual [Previous]  [Next] Alternative LanguagesIn Umple, the body of a method will by default be emitted unchanged. This ties the model to the particular programming language. However it is possible to provide alternative implementations for different programming languages by preceding the method body with the language name. This multi-lingual capability also works for other places where native code is injected such as in state machine guards and actions, or in derived attributes. Example// Generating Java and Php the following will // result in the appropriate // method body being selected. class LanguageSpecific { int m1() Java { // Return 1 if the model is compiled into Java return 1; } Php { // Return 0 if the model is compiled into Php return 0; } } Load the above code into UmpleOnline Another Example// A method body may work for several languages. // If no language is specified it is taken as the // default. class LanguageSpecific { int m1() Java,Php { // Return 0 if the model is compiled into // Java or Php return 0; } { // Default implementation for other languages return 1; } } Load the above code into UmpleOnline |
