Suggestions and Requests / Re: XMI Bug

« on: July 02, 2004, 07:13:24 am »

Right. It's not a bug; It's a feature

But seriously, the existence of a ModelElement.taggedValue element implies that ModelElement instances have references to TaggedValue instances, which, according to UML 1.3 is not the case. Instead, TaggedValue elements should appear as children of XMI.content and they should have an attribute called 'modelElement' that has the value of the xmi.id attribute of the ModelElement element to which the the TaggedValue applies.

The whole reason I raise this is that I'm having trouble reading EA's XMI with the XMI from NetBeans MDR, which follows the UML spec quite closely.

Suggestions and Requests / XMI Bug

According to UML 1.3, model elements don't have references to tagged values. But, the UML 1.3 DTD from the OMG allows ModelElement.taggedValue elements within ModelElement elements. So the DTD is incorrect.

Your XML 1.1 serialization is correct, according to the UML 1.3 DTD, but incorrect according to UML 1.3. Do you plan to address this, for example by making TaggedValue elements children of XMI.content with references to their ModelElement elements?

General Board / Refreshing RDBMS shared model views

« on: October 18, 2004, 09:56:13 am »

My team members and I are collaborating on a model that is stored in a RDBMS. Where is the refresh button (or the like) that I can press to make sure I'm seeing the latest changes?

The only way I've found to make sure I have the latest view is to log into the model repeatedly.

Thanks.
