Link Realization on Class

[scs]

In our development process the Analyst define the "Domain Class" and the Developer define the "Software Class".

We created one link "Realization" from "Software Class" to  "Domain Class" to establish the traceability.

When we generate code from "Software Class" on "Enterprise Architect" the code is generated extending the "Domain Class".

See, we didn´t use the link "Generalization".

It is a problem for us, because we want to use the link "Realization" to make just the traceability on "Entrerprise Architect".

Do you know some alternative to generate code without extend class with link "Realization"?

[Geert Bellekens]

You can use a dependency with stereotype <<trace>> or <<refine>>.
Those are semantically correct, defined in UML and they will not impact your code generation.

[Martin Terreni]

I'm not that UML master, but I would expect realization and generalization to be represented in code generatiom.
