Title: UML 2.0 XMI Export
Post by: Jamie Cash on November 05, 2005, 03:10:42 am

Is it possible to get Enterprise Architect to export uml 2.0 compliant XMI, as I am using AndroMDA with EA to generate session beans from the model.

AndroMDA doesn't seam to pick up the links between services and exceptions in the xmi that is outputted from Enterprise Architect.

I have been told by the AndroMDA team that this is a specific issue with Enterprise Architect, and was hoping that I could work around this by generating UML 2.0 XMI.

I am using EA version 5.0 build 772.

Regards

I'm in the exact same situation, with the exact same version of EA.  Is there any timeline for implementing XMI 2.0 support in EA?

Thanks in advance.

The subject of XMI export doesn't seem to be very popular as few people react to topics of this kind...

This being the case I drew my own conclusions and wrote a stylesheet to transform EA's XMI format to - in my case - EMF ecore format. This isn't too hard to do, although writing a stylesheet for a complete UML2 model (including all diagrams) probably would take some time.

I asked Sparx about XMI 2.0 and they said, that a new EA release will come out in the first quarter of 2006 which will support XMI 2.0

Any success from EA users trying to get MDA working with AndroMDA? Does anyone have a example that uses the bpm4struts cartridge?
