Title: Working with methods
Post by: Christopher_Wells on April 11, 2005, 05:09:53 am

I'd like the following features related to methods and sequence diagrams; see also http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=general;action=display;num=1112967862 for details:

* ability to find which sequence diagrams are using any undefined method
* ability to find which methods used in a sequence diagram are not defined in classes
* ability to find, for any given method defined in a class, the sequence diagram in which that method is being used

Actually, I would like to second the last proposal. I need to see which Sequence Diagrams are using a selected method.

As far as for first two requests, I am avoiding similar problems by NEVER using methods that are not defined in the relevant class in the first place. Just hit "Operations" and create a method.

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks. My fear was that if the method's signature (name+parameters+return type) is defined but then is changed by someone in the class definition, then this change would not be propagated automatically to the sequence diagrams on which the method appears.
