Missing source/target attribute from ActivityEdge when xmi:id different than name attribute [message #476350]

Hello,

I have found the following problem when creating an activity diagram
prgrammatically using Eclipse UML2 API. When specifying Action node, if
I set the name and xmi:id to be the same value and then I generate an
XML file from the model, the source and target attributes appear
correctly in the ActivityEdge tags. However, if I set name attribute to
be some value different than the value I set for xmi:id, the generated
XML edges are are randomly missing either target or source attribute.

Has anyone else encountered this behavior? Is this a programmer error or
a bug?

Thank you very much for any feedback,

Danja

Hi Danja,

Can you demonstrate this with a JUnit test so that it can be investigated?
I would like to see exactly how you are setting the id and name.

Cheers,

Hi Danja,
I am also creating an activity diagram prgrammatically using Eclipse
UML2 API.I 'd like to know how to create a ControlFlow between two
actions,how to setSource,how to setTarget for the ControlFlow.Could you
give me an example for that?
thank you very much! I am appreciated the reply.
Best Wishes!
xiaoqiang

xiaoqiang,

Action is a specialization of ActivityNode and ControlFlow is a
specialization of ActivityEdge, so you would so something like this:

ControlFlow myControlFlow = (ControlFlow) myActivity.createEdge(null,
UMLPackage.Literals.CONTROL_FLOW);
controlFlow.setSource(myAction);
controlFlow.setTarget(myOtherAction);
