tagged values in XMI export

[richi]

Hy @ll,

I have some problems with tagged values in a UML Profile when I export my model to XMI. If an element has more then one tagged values only the first will be exported to XMI!

My aim is to extend Statechart transitions with two variables. I created a profile where I extend a stereotype from Metaclass “Transition” and added the stereotype two tagged values “var1” and “var2”.

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<UMLProfile profiletype="uml2">

<Documentation id="9EA7180C-9" name="TestProfile" version="1.0" notes="TestProfile"/>

<Content>


<Stereotypes>



<Stereotype name="MyTransition" notes="" cx="90" cy="70" bgcolor="-1" fontcolor="-1" bordercolor="-1" borderwidth="-1" hideicon="0">




<AppliesTo>





<Apply type="Transition">






<Property name="isEffect" value="false"/>






<Property name="kind" value=""/>





</Apply>




</AppliesTo>




<TaggedValues>





<Tag name="var1" type="" description="" unit="" values="" default=""/>





<Tag name="var2" type="" description="" unit="" values="" default=""/>




</TaggedValues>



</Stereotype>


</Stereotypes>


<TaggedValueTypes/>

</Content>
</UMLProfile>
When I import the UML Profile and create a transition I can edit the two tagged values. But when I export my model only one of the two tagged values will be exported and this in a strange way:

Code: [Select]

<TestProfile:MyTransition base_StateFlow="EAID_4F31A2F2_B356_4fca_8CE4_57192644D144" MyTransition="test1"/>

"test1" is the value of var1!
var2 is missing!

Is that a bug (I work with EA 7.0.818 build 818 ) or do I anything wrong?

thx

Which options do you have set for the XMI export?

[Frank Horn]

To which XMI version did you export your model? I'm not using XMI 1.*, but if you export to XMI 2.1 the tagged values for an element with ID $X should be under

Code: [Select]

xmi:XMI/xmi:Extension/elements/element[@xmi:idref=$X]/tags/tag

[richi]

My options (think the standard export options):

Format XMI Output: true
Write Log File: true
Enable full EA Roundtrip: True
XMI Type: UML2.1 (XMI2.1)

Exported XMI-Model (only uml:Model)

Code: [Select]

xmi:XMI/xmi:Extension/elements/element[@xmi:idref=$X]/tags/tag

Thanks Frank! That works fine!
I only was a little bit confused about finding the first tagged value in the xmi::model!
