v15.2 - Specifying "generic" tags in profile

[Paolo F Cantoni]

We have been able to successfully include profile-based tags into our profile via the new Modelling mechanism (as opposed to our previous hand-crafted approach).  That is, we define our Tags (that end up in the <TaggedValueTypes> section), and then use them in our stereotypes.

These tags are defined as attributes of the stereotype and we can set a different default value from the main definition is required.  The values (especially for enumerations) are defined by the main definition in the <TaggedValueTypes> section.

We now also need to associate some "generic" as opposed to profile-based tags to some of our stereotypes.  What we want to end up with is:

Code: [Select]

<TaggedValues>
<Tag name="atomic" type="boolean" description="" unit="" values="true,false" default="false"/>
<Tag name="rotation" type="enumeration" description="" unit="" values="up,down,left,right" default="up"/>
</TaggedValues>
However, we can't see how to set the values attribute of the Tag definition in the stereotype atttribute.  We end up with:

Code: [Select]

<TaggedValues>
<Tag name="atomic" type="boolean" description="" unit="" values="true,false" default="false"/>
<Tag name="rotation" type="enumeration" description="" unit="" values="" default="up"/>
</TaggedValues>See how the Values attribute is empty for "rotation"?  How do we fix this?  It would appear that EA will set the values attribute for the boolean type automatically.

TIA,
Paolo

Create an enumeration element in your profile with literals (attributes) up, down, left and right. Then in the stereotype class, set the attribute's type to the enumeration.

Thanks, Neil!
