Hi everyone,
I seem to have run into a bug in my EA 9.2. I'm currently working on many connectors throughout my class model. What was formerly bi-directional associations is now turning into directed associations, so I have a navigable and a non-navigable end. As part of my work I was also taking the opportunity of not only setting navigability, but also align the connectors so that Source-->Target is also the allowed navigation (source non navigable, target navigable).
Now I have many compositions and I don't know whether it is EA or UML standard, but the composition is always drawn source to composed target, so A would be source and B target:
A -----<>B
I need the connector to look as follows:
A <-------<> B
And I thought I could also achieve that B is the source and A the target.
So I thought I could be able to run the following steps to get there:
- Reverse connector from source=A, target=B to source=B, target=A
- make the A end navigable
- make the B end a composite
What seems to happen now is that EA will not draw the "navigable" arrow. It will only draw it if the B end is also navigable, as soon as that becomes non-navigable it will remove the navigable arrow on the A side as well.
Is this a known bug? I mean the actual direction is not critical as long as the navigation is correct, but still, it seems like an irreversible behavior...
Thanks!
Regards,
Rouven
