Stereotypes

[themiyac]

We have defined a profile and it has sterotypes in it. We imported the profile into the model and we are using your java api to apply a stereotype. The apply stereotype method only takes a string. If another profile has a stereotype with the same name that we applied then there is a chance that your apply stereotype method applies another stereotype than the one that we want to apply. How do I destinguish that the GetStereotype method and ApplyStereotype method is coming from our profile when all they return is just the name of the stereotype?

Good question. I'd assume that the names need to unique but would not know where this constraint is stated (too lazy to crawl through Superstructures). Sparx?

I think fully qualified name is a solution, because it provides the name in terms of Profile::Stereotype::Tag, but would still like to have an official answer from Sparx.

When you apply your stereotype, give it a fully-qualified name, e.g. "MyProfile::MyStereotype". To find out the fully-qualified stereotype that has been applied to an element, for now you will need to look in t_xref, but hopefully it should appear in the Automation Interface in a future release.
