Create Stereotype with fix ports

[Chris271]

Hey there,

I have the following issue:

I want to create stereotypes for a specific domain. The components of this domain have either one, two or three fix ports.

I need to build stereotypes with ports so when the System Architect uses the profile of this domain he should not need to think about how many ports a component has, he should see it he adds a stereotype to his system.

And the ports need to be named (e.g. souce_a or output_b).

I already tried to create a stereotypes with ports within a profile but they just ignore the ports when i create the profile (xml-file).

Is it possible to create stereotypes with fix ports? Or does someone know an alternative solution for my problem?

Thank you very much.

Chris

Maybe I do not understand your problem correctly. But you can not create an element that already has ports with a profile. Maybe you can use a pattern for that?

Thank you for your reply,

so it is not possible to put a stereotype and a port together to one stereotype?

I mean the finished sterotype should consists of the stereotype (with alle the tagged values) and two ports (e.g.).


Ok, than i first have to read about patterns .

Thanks

It IS possible to define a port with a stereotype. But NOT an element that already has ports with a single stereotype. If you want to create an element with a fixed number of ports this is probably possible by using a pattern.

Ok Thank you.

Now I only have to find out how i can connect an already existing Toolbox with Stereotypes (which should have ports) with patterns
