EA 7.1 Java API, problem with connector type UC

[doddy]

Hello,
I would like to create a conector type 'UseCase' between two classes. I'm getting weird exception:

Code: [Select]

Repository r = new Repository();
r.OpenFile("c:/tmp/sample.eap");
Package model = (Package) r.GetModels().GetAt((short) 0);
Element e1 = model.GetElements().AddNew("cos1", "Class");
Element e2 = model.GetElements().AddNew("cos2", "Class");
model.Update();
Connector addNew = e1.GetConnectors().AddNew("something", "UseCase");
addNew.SetSupplierID(e2.GetElementID());
addNew.Update();
e1.Refresh();
Program creates element classes 'cos1' and 'cos2' but connector type 'UseCase' won't work (i.e. types: Dependency, Association works).
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: I
        at org.sparx.Connector.comUpdate(Native Method)
        at org.sparx.Connector.Update(Connector.java:538)
        at sample.package.Test.main(Test.java:30) <-- line addNew.Update();

I've tryied 'UseCaseLink' but dependency type was 'Dependency' not 'UseCase'

Anyone had such problem?

"UseCase" should work (according to the 7.5.850 documentation)
Have you tried it with a more recent version of EA?

And you might try to update() e1 and e2 before updating the connector.

Thank you for solution. It worked with 7.5.850 but it didn't want to with EA 8.
Update elements didn't work, so i switched API version.
