xmi: association ends and classes

[iherwig]

hello all,

is there a way to determine from the xmi export which associations belong to which classes? as far as i can see ea omits the UML:AssociationEnd.participant tag, which describes the relation between an association and the classes or do i miss something?

thanks, best regards, ingo.

In XMI 1.1 the UML:AssociationEnd tag references the connected element using the type attribute.

Where as in XMI 1.2, UML:AssociationEnd.participant tags are used.

Both references are to the elements guid.  If guids are a problem, alternatively you could use the UML:AssociationEnd.name attribute - however this is not necessarily unique, and is only present if you provide a link name in EA (on the connectors property page).

I hope this information is useful ,

Ash
