Being new to UML and even newer to EA, I am stumped.
Is there a way in UML (and then in EA) to specify which method a call originates from in a sequence diagram?
As a term project for grad school, I have to write a source code generator that takes in an xmi file. So far I can generate the function declarations, but the implementations are empty. I would think that there is a way to capture the function calls as seen in the sequence diagram.
Thanks in advance...

I really would love to be able to do this. UML allows this as :
||
||---
|| |
|||<- Object calls Func1 on itself
|||
|||---
||| | Func 1 causes a call to func2 on the same object.
||||<-
||||--------> func2 Calls into some other object from here.
||| Func 2 returns to Func 1.
|||-----------> Maybe func 1 calls into some object here.
|| Func 1 returns. The call context is in the original context.
I wish EA allowed this. It allows calls into itself , but the context is kind of lost. This would be a wonderful feature to add.

The ability to specify signals on self calls is a very important feature. Fortunately, it was addressed in the latest build (version 3.10 build 485).
I for one am also happy about this. Resolution of this issue has dramatically increased the likelyhood that we will recommend this product as our standard design tool.
