Suggestions and Requests / Re: V7 Validator seems to be very relaxed

« on: August 06, 2007, 01:29:37 pm »

Yes, I checked for the Strict UML syntax setting before I put this message into the Forum.
But I have not made new diagrams, I just checked my existing project.

Suggestions and Requests / V7 Validator seems to be very relaxed

« on: August 06, 2007, 07:37:02 am »

With version 7 the checks performed by the validator seem to have relaxed very much, which I don't understand and leaves me with suspicious feelings.
Helpful warnings such "unrealized port" don't show up again. Actually I don't get any warnings with my models except of a new warning type "unrealized requirement". I like the additional one, but why are the previous ones gone?
Can anyone explain the reason for the changes?

General Board / Delegation vs UML Validator

« on: April 28, 2007, 10:22:22 am »

In a hierarchy of composite diagrams I connect the port of an 'outer' component to the port of an 'inner' component by using the delegation connector.

The most inner port is resolved by an Association connector from the implementing class to the port.

Isn't this perfectly OK in UML 2.x?

The UML Validator only likes the Association. The Delegations generate warnings of unresolved ports.

Any help on what I'm doing wrong?

Kind regards,
