reflecting changes to base class method names

[toajax]

Hi,

Have a question about class diagrams. Here is the scenario.

The diagram has an interface class 'Intf' and a class 'Cls' that realizes the interface.

'Intf' has a method 'm1'. When creating the 'realizes' link between 'Intf' and 'Cls', I selected 'm1' as a method that I wanted to override, so 'Cls1' shows 'm1'.

Now I want to change the method name from 'm1' to 'm2' in 'Intf'. Is there a way to update the name 'm1'  in 'Cls' to 'm2' without manually having to edit 'Cls'.

Just again reading from my Mac (no EA ). There's something like "overwrite implementation". Search the help file (or wait for someone else to respone soon

Hi,

It's the override operations/interfaces dialog.

The problem is it shows 'm2' as a new method that has not been overridden in 'Cls'.

If I select it, then 'Cls' now has two methods 'm1' and 'm2'

Pretty sure that EA doesn't do this at all, though you could write an addin to do it for you I think.

You may find the following thread interesting. http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=general;action=display;num=1086701333;start=2#2

Thank you for your quick response. I am fairly new to EA, so will look up some resources to write Add-Ins.

Thanks again

G'day,

I've never tried this before, so it's up to you to experiment ...

The model is just stored in a database.  Maybe you could do a search and replace through the back door, instead of doing it via EA.
