Robustness diagrams

[Ivor]

I am using the ICONIX process and want to move from use case to robustness diagrams. I have a pretty good domain model and want to use the domain model entity as either the boundary or entity objects in the robustness. By this I mean that I wish to drag them from the domain model onto the robustness model(which can be done) BUT have them display as robustness diagram entities.

Anyone know if this is possible and of course, more importantly know how to do it and even more importantly, willing to share the method with me.

An ICONIX robustness diagram is nothing else but an UC diagram. So in order to populate the diagram just drag the according entities onto it from wherever they are. I once bought a CD with a tutorial held by Doug Rosenberg (ICONIX founder). At that time the MDG was not available but probably the process is the same.

My suggestion: hold Ctrl and drag the class from your Domain model onto your Robustness diagram, paste as Instance (Object), then set the stereotype on this new Object as 'entity' or 'boundary'.

This should give you an object that references the classifier from your domain model, but allows you to make changes such as applying stereotypes, formatting, etc without affecting the original class in your domain model.
