Ports on components
« on: February 03, 2004, 07:01:21 pm »
Ambler indicates the use of the "port" modifier on component elements, which seems like a good idea.

EA only seems to allow creation of ports on the class level.  

Since a class stereotyped as a <<component>> can be used instead of the dedicated component element, we can get around the restriction by resorting to that method of describing components.

However, what do you folks think.  Should ports be creatable at the component level?  Is this a feature that should be added to EA?  In addition and in particular, should the port facility be enhanced to  allow the specification of interfaces associated with specific ports?
