Title: Generate XMI package + profile stereotypes?
Post by: abcoates on June 13, 2006, 03:00:10 am

I have a UML model which uses a UML 2.0 profile and has a controlled package.  I actually want to generate the XMI for the controlled package from an external script so I can get some information into my EA model.

My problem is that I can't find the right XMI formulation to get the tagged values from each class's stereotype to appear on the class.  They appear if I re-apply the profile stereotype to the class in EA manually, but I have too many classes to do the whole lot manually.  How is the linkage made in XMI that particular tagged values are associate with a class with a particular UML profile stereotype?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Cheers, Tony.

Sorry, my mistake, it's not hard.  You have to set the tagged values for stereotypes at the global model level, not at the local class level.

Hmmm, not as easy as I thought.  Well, it is as easy as I thought for classes (use global tagged values).  However, I can't find a way to get tagged values for properties (attributes & association ends) to import from the XMI.  When I save a controlled package as XMI, these are stored as locally defined tagged values in the attribute/association-end definition.  However, defining them like that doesn't appear to work for import.  Defining them globally doesn't seem to work either.

Any suggestions, or is this something that simply can't/won't work?  Thanks a lot in advance for any help,

Cheers, Tony.
