Author Topic: Bug? Visibility of inherited features (Read 4118 times)

You can set the visibility of inherited features for classes.

That works fine if a class has a generalization relation to an other class, but it does not work if you have a realization realtion to an interface.

Interesting observation. I suggest you post this in Suggestions and Requests, and see if it gets any traction.

This is because an interface and realization doesn't actually mean that the methods are there, just that they need to be.

Well,

your answer makes sense from a programming language compiler stand point. But not really for a modelling tool.
IMHO the two situations should be treated similar. Or another option: "show operations to be implemented" with the desired behavior would be fine.

A related problem: when I modell a realization EA askes for methods to introduce in the implementation. So far so good. But when I edit a method in the interface, e.g. add a parameter or change the name, or return type, the class implementing it is not updated.

Imho in such a case the classes operations and the interfaces operations should have a direct life link to each other.

Regards,

Angelo

"Interface Contract" would be a good start for your search

As I remember, it was Paolo thread - interface change should updated in all realized classifiers
