Generated Code: relationships

[rgrieselhuber]

I am new to EA, and so far I love it. I had one question, I created relationships between my classes in a logical diagram by using dependencies.

For example:

Class1 <--(1)----------(0..*)--Class2

When I generated my code, I expected to see references to these other classes, but I didn't. Am I missing something, or going about this the wrong way? Any info would be appreciated.

Best,
Ray

Hi,

When generating code the only relationships considered (at this stage) are Associations, Aggregations, Realizations and Inheritance. They are used in the following way:

Associations: depending on direction of link, one class will have a reference to the other (a class variable)

Aggregation: Same as for Associations

Realizations: All classes that connect to an Interface using the realization link will have implementation methods for the Interface operations generated automatically in code. Classes also have a suitable entry in the Extends section of their definition

Inheritance: Child classes will have their definition include a reference to the parent.

Hope this helps,
