Hello
is there a way to create Java files with Hibernate annotations (or an XML Mapping file) directly from EA?

Thank you

General Board / Best Practice: Setup Model

« on: April 01, 2009, 08:28:18 pm »

Hi

  What's is the best practice to setup a model?
  Currently, our Architects created an EA model which roughly looks like this:

• One Package for the Requirements
• One Package for the use cases
• One Package for ALL classes
• One Package for all sequence diagrams (each feature has its own package below this
• One Package for all class diagrams (each feature has its own package below this

The Problem we have with this is the sequence and class diagrams refer to the classes in their package. If we place this class package under VC (Clear Case) it takes several seconds / minutes to check them in or out so using VC on it was not practical. Unfortunately, removing the VC also renders the VC of the diagram packages rather useless especially when a class is moved.
BTW: We are using a DBMS to store the database.

So my question is: What is the best practice to setup a model?

Thanks

Uml Process / How to model an Interface with a generic type

« on: February 22, 2010, 04:28:51 am »

Hi

  Me and some colleagues of mine have searched last week for a way to model a generic interface with EA. Unfortunately, neither of us was successful  

  Therefore: How do you model an interface with a generic type? Such as (as in Java):

public interface A<T> {}

  The help says something about tagged values (but only for methods). With imported code, EA draws a class or an interface with an additional box at the upper right corner of the interface/class (i honestly have forgotten the correct term for that box at the moment... sorry). What am i missing?

Thanks

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Automatic export DBMS to EAP

« on: April 02, 2009, 10:58:36 pm »

Hi

  this is done anyway (once per Day to be exact). The reason for doing this is that we (at the moment) do not want to use Version Control, but still want to be able to place an EAP under version control once we branch.
The reason behind this is at the moment that we have one package in our EA-Model that contains all class files (2000+) and several other packages which refer to these classes. We didnt found a good way to place these class package under verion control as CheckIn/Out operations take some while.
  In my opinion, this seems to be a rather bad structure (see my post in "General" http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1238578098) and i am looking for other "designs" to propose to our architects... Till than, this DBMS -> EAP transfer is, i think, the best way to keep performance and have a version control...

Thanks

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Automatic export DBMS to EAP

« on: April 02, 2009, 04:22:07 am »

Hi

  is there a way to trigger the DBMS to EAP transfer by the command line or is there a way to do it by the means of a small program?

  We want to "Backup" the DBMS database once per week and store the data in its own file.

Thanks
