"represents" Association for Activity Pa
« on: September 18, 2012, 12:06:41 am »
Hello,

according to the UML standard there is a "represents" association for UML Activity Partitions:

represents : Element [0..1]
An element constraining behaviors invoked by nodes in the partition.

I need this association to model a certain case, however I cannot find this association in EA. Any ideas?

Regards,

Michael

Isn't that the "Instance Classifier"? (right click Advanced|Instance Classifier)

Hi,

yes, this looks good, however in the dialog that opens I cannot select the correct element. My case is the following:

I have a UML Class that contains two UML parts and one owned behavior as UML Activity. The Activity contains two Activity Partitions and these Partitions represent the two UML Parts. However, I cannot select the parts, they are not shown. With other elements it works.

However... when I try to export it as XMI there is no "represents" attribute set. So obviously the "instance" settings are not equal to the "represents" attribute. Maybe something internal?

Regards,

Michael
