stereotype with metaclass "(Sys)boundary"
« on: January 02, 2007, 05:36:02 pm »
I've got some troubles with stereotypes related to the boundary concept:
  • When using the metaclass "boundary" for a stereotype eg. "scope", the stereotype doesn't appear in the toolbox. When drawing it from the ressource view from the profile, ea doesn't draw the shape on the diagram.
  • When using the metaclass "SysBoundary" for e.g. stereotype "scope" together with a shape script, the stereotype appears in the toolbox, but when drawn on the diagram, it shows up as an normal boundary. When looking up in the  menue Settings - UML - Stereotypes, a second entry for "scope" (besides base class "SysBoundary") is defined with Base Class "boundary". One has to load the shapescript for this second stereotype in order to get it work properly. (a similar issue on duplicate entries for stereotypes has been posted under http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?action=display;board=general;num=1165149610;start=0#0)
  • When using the metaclass "SysBoundary" for e.g. stereotype "scope"  and having defined attributes in the stereotype as tagged values, these will not be added to the element when created on the diagramm. Nevertheless, ea allows for manual creation of such tagged values and the shapescript reacts in correspondance to these added tags.

I allready posted this issue at http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=general;action=display;num=1165490013;start=7#7 but I'd like to discuss it in an own thread here. TIA
