Suggestions and Requests / Re: Working with methods

« on: April 20, 2005, 05:45:53 am »

Actually, I would like to second the last proposal. I need to see which Sequence Diagrams are using a selected method.

As far as for first two requests, I am avoiding similar problems by NEVER using methods that are not defined in the relevant class in the first place. Just hit "Operations" and create a method.

Cheers,
Alex

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Methods for Nodes and Components in Sequence D

« on: April 20, 2005, 07:36:36 am »

Thomas,

Yes you CAN add methods using F10 or right-click etc.

You CANNOT use "Operations" button. It is grayed out for no reason. If it can have operations, let us define them from Sequence diagrams. that's the suggestion.

Suggestions and Requests / Methods for Nodes and Components in Sequence Dgms

« on: April 20, 2005, 05:53:19 am »

Hi Guys,

My models will be more elegant if I could create methods for Components and Nodes.

Actually, I already can do it. I cannot use then in Sequence Diagrams though, which defeats the purpose of defining them.

Can you please remove this restriction? You will have less code to maintain, and I will be working faster.

Cheers,

Alex

Suggestions and Requests / Abstraction Method support: operations as UseCases

« on: March 27, 2005, 05:52:16 pm »

Hi Guys,

My Abstraction Method (www.businessabstraction.com) alows to interpret Use Cases as operations on a Class, and vice versa. I am using it with EA the way it is. However, it looks a bit cumbersome. I would appreciate if you consider some support for this approach. It should not be hard anyway.

Regards,

Alex

Nesting sounds good.

I would go for Aggregation though.

Uml Process / Re: Include or extend?

« on: April 20, 2005, 08:02:25 am »

Bill,

1. You need to choose a concise definition of Use Case first. There are different oppinions, not all of them work. Get trained, or get a really good book.
2. Use the definition of Extension that comes with your definition of Use Case.

As a preliminary answer, you can use extension when one Use Case "causes" another, but does not "include" (i.e. readin with "include" sounds odd).

Comments:
Cockburn's book is great for _writing_ Use Cases. Although a must if you try to get your own understanding of Use Cases, it does not provide good _diagramming_ guidelines.

Uml Process / Re: Association of the diagrams in a state

« on: April 20, 2005, 08:15:07 am »

Wassi,

If you can create a Custom Diagram, you can then Change Diagram type to Class Diagram. That would not change much though - as Thomas mentioned, it will be opening different tab in toolbox. It will call iself "Class". That's all.

I don't understand what do you model like that though. State machine  goes underneath a Class, not vice versa.

Cheers

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / See changes on a diagram

« on: December 23, 2005, 05:02:29 pm »

Hi everyone,

I wrote a small scripts that re-directs some of the connectors on a an opened diagram. It works correctly, although:

I cannot see changes until I close the diagram and the re-open it!

I would appreciate any suggestion on that matter. I use C#, although VB code will do just fine

Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone,

What are the best practices for PHP development with EA? What do you use for code editing? How do you organise your development process?

Regards,

Alex

P.S. Is it the right section for this topic?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Generating HTML files

« on: March 14, 2005, 04:17:30 am »

Hi everyone,

I am using EA for PHP project right now. In addition to generating PHP5 classes, I would really like to generate .php XHTML files:

One file per class of relevant stereotype

One comment per operation or attibute

Is this already implemented? Will it be?

How hard is it to implement something like that?

Regards,

Alex
