Uml Process / Re: Import of Java generic-collections

« on: October 23, 2008, 11:55:22 pm »

Hi again,

Will it be possible to solve (or, at least work-around) the problem described above using a transformation?
Can someone give us a hint how to define such a transformation?

Thanks, David

Uml Process / Import of Java generic-collections

« on: September 26, 2008, 01:19:23 am »

Hi all,

I have a large set of existing Java classes. When trying to import the Java code to EA, it appears that all generic-collections were not recognized as associations in EA.
For example, when importing:
class B{}
class A{
  private List<B> items;
}
EA will not create a 1:* association from A to B.

This question is related to the discussion in http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1219245068/3#3

The question is how to configure EA to understand these collections. If this feature is not supported, then can someone please propose a workaround?

Thanks for the help, David

Uml Process / Re: import Java code - relationships with Set or L

Hi Sparx experts,

We have encountered the same issue. But we did not understand the answer. Is it possible to configure EA to recognize List<T> as a collection of T? We tried to configure this feature in the Java collection class tab:
default collection class = java.util.List<#TYPE#>
But unfortunately, EA doesn't draw an association.

If this feature is not supported, can you please suggest a workaround? We have plenty of existing classes that are written using generics collections - and cannot be properly displayed.

Thanks for the help, David
