Title: Using inherited methods in a Sequence Diagram?
Post by: charless on January 08, 2007, 02:16:18 am

Hi there,

I am a new user to EA and would be very grateful to anyone who can help me with the following problem -

I have an abstract superclass with a non-abstract operation.

I have a subclass that inherits from that superclass. When I set feature visibility in the Class Diagram my subclass shows the inherited operation as expected.

However, when I create an instance of the subclass in a Sequence Diagram the operations list for that instance is empty and doesn't show the inherited operation.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

What version of EA are you using?

What is your language settings for both classes?

It seems to work OK for me on build 802.

In the message dropdown, I can see the operations of the parent classes.

HTH,
Paolo

Hi Paolo,

I'm using Build 801.

I have since saved all the diagrams, closed and re-opened EA...

...and now lo and behold it works!

Maybe the two diagrams weren't synced somehow? Anyway, now the operations appear in my dropdown too.

If I can recreate the error in the future I'll raise it as a bug but maybe it was human error (mine!).

Thanks for your reply
