CommunicationPath creation helper [message #476250]

Hello,

In context of Uml2Tools Deployment diagram, I was searching for some helper
code that allows to create CommunicationPath's between two given DeploymentTarget's.

As far as I understand the UML2 spec, the CommunicationPath's are just deployment
specific specializations of the associations,
and the code very similar to the one at the org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal.operations.TypeOperations
class (createAssociation, at al) would perfectly suit my needs.

However, I have not found any such code, in fact, there are no usages of
the UMLPackage.Literals.COMMUNICATION_PATH across the UML2 implementation
code.
As for now, I have duplicated the code from TypeOperations class in my own
helper, but I would prefer to call some API method for such creation.

Do you think its possible to add the method createCommunicationPath(...)
into the DeploymentTarget interface like its done for Type's and Associations?

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Yes, please log a bugzilla or RFE and it will be added.

The UMLFactory also has a createCommunicationPath() but I think you've found
the best solution by doing something similar to the
TypeOperations.createAssociation.

.... any other convience methods you might like while we are on the topic?

Cheers,

-James.
