Transforming Logical Model to Message Model

[acalbaza]

Hello,

I have classes in a logical model that I'd like to cherry-pick from and create message models.  I see that the Schema Composer allows me to do this, but it also duplicates the source class that I'm cherry-picking from.  Often times, I want a new message class that pulls attributes from multiple logical class definitions.  Is this possible with Schema Composer?  Or, do I need to find another way to do this?

Thanks,

Alejandro

Alejandro,

We use the Schema Composer with my add-in Message Composer to model messages at a number of different clients.

With this combination you can flatten inheritance, and add attributes from a parent class to a subclass, but you it can't move arbitrary attributes between classes.
That is something you'll have to do manually. We do have an exception mechanism however that tells the generator to ignore certain stereotypes. This is used to model exceptions on the message subset level.
