General Board / textual list deployments

« on: August 17, 2006, 08:59:15 am »

hi

anyone knows a way to show the deployed artifacts of a node as a textual list ? As in figure 131 in 'UML 2.0 Superstructure Specification'
I have nodes with too many artifacts and that view would be perfect for my deployment diagrams

thanks

General Board / Re: Objects dependency association

« on: October 13, 2005, 06:28:55 am »

ouch!  

I was hoping there was something like this working, since I've been using a cvs plugin, and I found weird that I cant add a message in a sequence diagram unless I do a check out on the class package, which I believe means that some modification is made on that class

General Board / Objects dependency association

« on: October 11, 2005, 06:43:27 am »

Hi,

I'm modeling a design model with regular classes and I'm using them in sequence diagrams, showing these classes collaborations in some primary scenarios for the use cases given. When I draw a message in a sequence diagram, e.g. from class A to class B, that implies a dependency going from class A to class B since an operation from class B is used by class A
Now the question is, is there a way to add those associations automatically ? that is when I draw a message in a sequence diagram, a dependency asociation being created for those classes

any clues ? thanks in advance

General Board / Duplicated tagged values in ea 5.0

« on: September 20, 2005, 12:56:33 pm »

Hi

I'm trying version 5.0 and when I open a previous proyect made with version 4.0 I found that I cannot have duplicated taggedValues anymore.

e.g. In EA 4.0 I had a package with two taggedValues with same name  but different notes. Now, if I open that package in EA 5.0 I only see 1 taggedValue, looks like I cannot repeat two taggedValues name. I cannot add another taggedValue neither

Any ideas ?? I've tried adding taggedValues with different values AND notes, but the tag name seems to be the key that accepts no duplicates

thanks in regards.

General Board / showing association tags

« on: April 05, 2005, 08:30:57 am »

Hi,

I'm using tags for some associations between classes, and I'd like them to appear in the class diagram, however I only see the association and can't find the way to display them

Any ideas ??

thanks in advance,

Uml Process / assemblies modeling

« on: May 18, 2005, 12:41:00 pm »

Hello,

Im having some doubts when modeling assemblies with UML, should they be components or packages ?
I started modeling them as components exposing interfaces, but when I got to the code part, i wondered, what exactly is an interface and how replaceable is the dll ?
If I think about it, a more natural approach is to model the dll as a package, since when I use it on another program, I do a dim var as new dll.class, so I'm using the classes contained in the dll, I'm not using the interfaces as showed in component diagrams

Anyone thought about this b4 ?

Thanks in advance,

Uml Process / Modeling web applications with UML

« on: April 06, 2005, 07:47:15 am »

Hi

I'm modeling some ASP web applications using UML, and I'm using the Rational Propose.  Using this, you model a web page as a class for which  you define attributes and methods, but what I don't see in the paper is how to model the "#Include File".

I'm not sure if I should model it as a composition association, since the included page does becomes a part of the including page, or model it as generalization to show the attributes and methods inherits, that would be including page inherits from included page

Anybody thought of this before ??

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: retrieve element from repository by element.na

« on: February 21, 2006, 11:18:28 am »

yes, that works fine, but my problem is I don't know how to bring the package containing my desired class.

again afaik I can only search for packages using GetPackageByGuid or GetPackageByID and i dont know any of those ids   I only know the package name

any ideas ?

thomaskilian:
Im doing a plugin to make a sequence
diagram out of a piece of code, so once I identify the className, I need to add it to the diagram. the diagram part works fine already but since i parse the class name from the code all I know is its name, I have no idea which ID the element has in the repository

Midnight:
I believe I can find out the namespace of the class using the import sentences available in the code, but Im not sure how to work with the 'Project interface emumeration functions' you mention, can you give me a clue there ? thanks

Hi

Thanks in advance.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / using EA icons

« on: March 21, 2005, 11:21:04 am »

Hi,

I'm coding a plugin to make some custom documentation, and I'd like to include the icons used in the project view for the diagrams (more specifically for interaction and class diagrams)

Is there a way I can get those icons using the automation interface ??

Thanks in advance,

Mariano
