Creating a stereotyped class

[Dieter Moroff]

I am using EA 8 and the java automation interface. I created a UML profile with different stereotypes containing tagged values.

If I try to create a uml element with a stereotype through the automation interface it doesn't contain the tagged values of the profiles stereotype. Moving the element to a diagram, it does not have the appearance defined in the profile.

How can I create a stereotyped element through the automation interface behave like an element created in the EA user interface?

Thanks

Dieter,

That probably means that your new class doesn't have the stereotype defined in the profile, but just a stereotype with the same name.
I'm not sure at all, but I think it has something to do with the t_xref table.

Maybe the stereotype is allright, but you need to synchronize it programmatically:

Thanks for the replies, the tip synchronizing the profile works for the tagged values. The default appearance is still the default and not the one defined in the profile.

Maybe some method for redrawing or reloading diagrams might help. Geert probably knows.

[Geert Bellekens]

Before trying that in code, close the diagram and reopen it. (or to be really sure, close EA and reopen).
If it still doesn't have "profile" shape then no amount of reload diagrams will help.

Have you checked the Setting/UML/Stereotypes for a stereotype with the same name?
