                                               NameDuplicationException

Construct the ClassConceptFunctionDefinitionAttribute attribute with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this attribute.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the entity cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail
