General Board / Re: Build customized UML diagram from source code

« on: May 15, 2014, 06:45:21 pm »

I would start from the standard reverse engineering, and then write and add-in to do additional post processing.
I guess that means parsing the code, figuring out the dependencies, and creating the required relations in EA.

EA has an API that you can use for your add-in/script

Thanks for the reply!
As I am a complete novice to it, where I can read more about addins and what exact tools / languages/ scripting I can employ to reach my goal?

General Board / Build customized UML diagram from source code

« on: May 15, 2014, 06:33:55 pm »

Hello, I am fairly new to EA. I have a particular code and would like to generate custom UML from the code. Presently, with default settings, I was able to backward engineer my code but it just generated classes "blocks" and shows no apaprent connections between classes. We use "loose binding" strategy in our code.


Here's a representation of what I need to obtain:

Code is a bunch of such C#routines within a Webapi class:

  public class ProjectConfigurationController : WebApiController
    {

        [HttpPost]
        public ProjectStoreResponseDto CreateNewProject(ProjectConfigurationDto project)  
        {
            var reply = CommandProcessor.ProcessCommand(new ProjectConfigurationSaveCommand(project)) as GenericSaveCommandResponse;
         return reply;
        }

  
        [HttpPut]
        public void UpdateProject(ProjectConfigurationDto project)
        {
            try
            {
                var reply = CommandProcessor.ProcessCommand(new ProjectConfigurationSaveCommand(project)) as GenericSaveCommandResponse;
                AssertResponse(reply);
            }
            catch (Exception exception)
            {
        
                throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError);
            }
        }
}


and I need a diagram that displays something like this



that is, command names are picked from code, and interface name of ProcessCommand is also used.

I appreciate any pointers about how can I semi- or fully-automatically create such a custom diagram.
