Title: Renaming a class used as an operation argument
Post by: yves.carrier on January 04, 2005, 01:24:19 pm

Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to EA and found that whenever I rename a class that I peviously used as an argument for an operation, the type of the argument will not follow the new class name. Anything I am not doing right?

Thanks,
Yves.

Just tried it here. Works as designed. Renaming the class also changes the parameter. I use build 741. Maybe you can give the steps to reproduce the error?

Hi Thomas,

Sorry to have been so long to reply, I was assigned on a totally different duty for the last 2 weeks or so. Now, here we go...

I should have mentioned in my first message  that the problem occurs for messages used as part of sequence diagrams. When a class modification is done, the messages using this class are not synchronized (namely, return types, maybe others as welll) unless you reselect the message and re-submit the same class method as the message type.

Regards,
Yves.

You're right.  So it's likely a bug and you should submit a bug report.
