Element Type Definition

Element Type Name	STEREOTYPE
Short Name	STE
View Name	CI_STEREOTYPES
Description	A stereotype is a UML extension mechanism that can be applied to
	a model element

	A "stereotyped" model element is, in essence, a new subtype of that
	element. It has all the properties, associations, constraints etc of
	the original model element, but is able to have additional properties,
	called tags, and a different iconic representation

Sub-type of	SHAREABLE_ELEMENT
Versioning:	Structure of STEREOTYPE versionable object
Rules:	API Spec Uniqueness Criteria Deletion Rules
Descriptor:	BASE_CLASS NAME
Used by:	JDeveloper Enterprise Edition
Underlying table:	SDD_STE

Reference Properties
Name	Opt ?	Notes	Relationship	In Arc
ICON_FILE_REFERENCE	Y	Prompt: Icon File	May be iconized using one and only one PRIMARY_ACCESS_FILE

Properties
Name	Datatype	Opt ?	Notes	Domain	Default Value
ABSTRACT_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether the stereotype is instantiable. An abstract stereotype is not instantiable Prompt: Is Abstract Uppercase	YESNO	N
BASE_CLASS	VARCHAR2(10)	N	Element type, or "base class", to which this stereotype applies Prompt: Base Class Uppercase Updatable only if null	OBM_ELEMENT_TYPE
LEAF_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether the stereotype can be subtyped. If a leaf, it is not allowed to have subtypes Prompt: Is Leaf Uppercase	YESNO	N
NAME	VARCHAR2(100)	N	Name of the stereotype Prompt: Name
ROOT_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether the stereotype can have supertypes. If a root, it is not allowed to have supertypes Prompt: Is Root Uppercase	YESNO	N
