Connector/association type wrongly reckonized !
« on: February 06, 2010, 07:32:21 am »
Hi all,

i have one class which implements one interface. After I import with Source Code Engineering to EA instead of "Realisation" link I am getting "generalitarion", why ?
Also I never getting in my UML Class diagram connector Composition or Aggregation type although I have it in C# code... bug  or  what ?

Thanks!

Milan,

It might be useful to post the code that you are reverse engineering and tell us why you expect a certain result in EA.
For the realization/generalization that might be trivial, but for the composition/aggregation issue it isn't.

If someone need example it is given here:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1265266117

but I believe that anyone started to work with source code engineering came pretty fast to the same connclusions:

just "association" connection type is reckognized by EA.
Can I get here some official statement that in version EA 7.5 uml from code does not work ?

Milan,

For "official statements" this is the wrong place.
This is primarily a user forum, and although the Sparxians regularly visit the forum and reply to questions, I'm pretty sure this isn't an official channel by any means.

I don't recall seeing any issue where generalizations are created instead of realizations, but can imagine that if EA is thinking that the parent is a class instead of an interface it could occur.

As for aggregations, EA does not import them and I do not consider that a major limitation.
