EA API : Element.getClassifierID method returns 0

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I'm using a Java project that is running EA API and I have a problem with the following methods of the com.sparx.Element class :
.GetClassifierID(), .GetClassifierName(), .GetClassifierType()

Even though the elements of my EA projet have a classifier, these methods never return any value (either empty or 0)

Is this an issue with the EA API?
Note that I'm running EA v 7.5.850 so I'm using the corresponding eaapi.jar
Could it work with a newer version of EA like 8.864?

thanks

As an update, I found the solution to my problem :

in the case of using UML parts, I have to use GetPropertyType() which returns the element ID so you can look up for the classifier (e.g. a UML component) that matches it.
