SOLVED: EA14 BUG? Includes the profile name in the stereotype property ...

[Svend Erik Nygaard]

In my MDG, I have a stereotype “impl” extending “Realization”.
Before EA14, it behaved just like all other stereotypes, setting a connector’s stereotype property to “impl”.
But after upgrading to EA14, it sets a connector’s stereotype to “CPH_MetaModel::impl” – which causes a multitude of problems in our automation routines.
It seems, all other stereotypes in my MDG do NOT have this problem.
Have any of you experienced the same issue?

Below, I have included the MDG XML for the impl plus a couple of other connector steretypes. As mentioned only the impl causes problems.

<Stereotype name="impl" metatype="impl" notes="" cx="0" cy="0" bgcolor="-1" fontcolor="-1" bordercolor="-1" borderwidth="-1" hideicon="0">
   <AppliesTo>
      <Apply type="Realisation">
         <Property name="direction" value="Source -&gt; Destination"/>
      </Apply>
   </AppliesTo>
   <TaggedValues>
      <Tag name="Master" type="boolean" description="" unit="" values="true,false" default=""/>
   </TaggedValues>
</Stereotype>

<Stereotype name="at" metatype="at" notes="" cx="0" cy="0" bgcolor="-1" fontcolor="-1" bordercolor="-1" borderwidth="-1" hideicon="0">
   <AppliesTo>
      <Apply type="Dependency">
         <Property name="direction" value="Source -&gt; Destination"/>
      </Apply>
   </AppliesTo>
</Stereotype>

<Stereotype name="reflect" metatype="reflect" notes="" cx="0" cy="0" bgcolor="-1" fontcolor="-1" bordercolor="-1" borderwidth="-1" hideicon="0">
   <AppliesTo>
      <Apply type="Generalization">
         <Property name="direction" value="Source -&gt; Destination"/>
         <Property name="isSubstitutable" value=""/>
         <Property name="_lineStyle" value="direct"/>
      </Apply>
   </AppliesTo>
</Stereotype>

Have you tried it on an empty model with only this MDG enabled?

Maybe some local model stereotypes are conflicting in some way.

That was a great shot, Geert - right in the bull's-eye 

One of the MDGs coming with EA14 must have a "impl" stereotype.

Of course that leaves me with a consideration of making my automation routines more robust (more precise)

Hmmm
I do not see anywhere in the t_connector table that tells me the 'absolute'/complete name of the stereotype - I'll look into that after the weekend (maybe in t_xref). It would be nice, had it been stored in two separate columns with the stereotype column holding only the short incomplete name - and then let it be purely e rendering choice.  Now I have two different values in the same column (respectively for rows before and after EA14)

Tanks very much for your help again

[Geert Bellekens]

Yes, the t_xref stores the full stereotype details.
The stereotype field only contains the simple name of the "first" stereotype.
