Parameter Multiplicities
« on: August 20, 2007, 01:29:30 pm »
Hi,

It appears that one cannot define the multiplicity of a Parameter as defined by the UML. The return parameter may be set to "array" but that seems to be all there is. Do I miss something?

???

(and yes, its needed)

No you didn't miss anything.  About six months ago I also had occasion to look at return values in UML and EA and pretty much came to the same conclusion as you.

Mkay ... This is actually a quite serious limitation, as it does not even allow for passing simple things like an open array, not to mention that I actually do use ordering and uniqueness for Parameters ...  :'(

Okay, just filed the report although I already gues someone may find it debatable whether this is a bug or a soft of missing Feature ... but since EA wants to be an UML Tool I tend to say it should be IN ;)
