Type - Prototype (Type-Property) classes
« on: September 26, 2014, 09:52:39 pm »
Hello

I have an issue for which there has to be a simple solution.

I am trying to build the structure of a problem before actually knowing  all the details and I want to show the elements needed in the solution to more simply come up with the necessary interfaces.

To do this I create a class(type) for each element assign it with a Stereotype in the project browser.
In a Structure diagram I will drag the Classes into the diagram and select to use it as a Property(prototype).

This leads to a diagram with a number of Properties linked to the Type of the Class it was created from.

When I change the Class(type), I cannot find a way to update the Property with the new ports.
This seems like a reasonable way to work but I cannot find any informaiton on how this update is made.

Am I doing something wrong or is this not supported in EA?

best regards

qwerty

Have you read about MDA (Google is your friend)? You can apply that in EA using different views and (if you like) a transformation script.
