Title: inherited tagged values in a profile
Post by: elr on July 26, 2024, 05:40:15 am

Hello All,

I set up a Generalization chain of classes (AuditDoc->Doc->Deliverable->Element). Some have tagged value definitions.
All these tagged values are downward propagated. Cool !

Moreover, attributes have been defined for AuditDoc

I then defined AuditDoc as a stereotype and extended it from Artifact metaclass in order to make a Profile Docs XML file.
The goal of course is to be able, later on,to instanciate several AuditDoc objects without having to recreate all these TV and attributes; just define their values.

I didn't forget to include all super classes to my profile file.

In a sample projet, I can see that attributes become TV in a dedicated panel  (why not ?) but no tagged values appears..

Does somebody has the full recipe ?

Thank you

Eric

A stereotype's attributes become tagged values when that stereotype is instantiated.

A stereotype's tagged values do not map to anything when the stereotype is instantiated.

Thx Eve,

So, does it means that propagating TVs through an inheritance chain is useless when we plan to set up a profile to easily instanciate  classes?

Make AuditDoc, Doc, Deliverable, and Element stereotypes.

Convert their tagged values into attributes.

Now when you create an AuditDoc it will have a tagged value for each tagged value.

If you don't want any of those stereotypes to be createable, set them to abstract.

I see. No need for inheritance, thus..
Thank you !
