Jinhui,

This question is more appropriate for the UML2 newsgroup (copied).

To progammatically set the type of a parameter, simply call setType(Type),
passing the desired type as an argument.

Jinhui,

Additionally, note that a LiteralInteger does not come into existence
knowing that its type is (or even should be) Integer. You will have to
retrieve the Integer primitive type from the UML (or Java) Primitive Types
model library in order to reference it as the parameter's type.

Cheers,
