Error in 17.5.7 Classifier [message #477215]

Hey again...

The best proof of the template mechanism's complexity is the amount of errors I find in the specs.. Here's another one:

Section 17.5.7 Classifier, p. 627, under Associations:

"templateParameter : ParameterableElement [0..1]
The template parameter that exposes this element as a formal
parameter. Redefines ParameterableElement::templateParameter"

The type of "templateParameter" must be
"ClassifierTemplateParameter", not "ParameterableElement".

As always, before submitting an Issue, I'd like to have some other people's interpretations.

Thanks,
Felix

Hi Felix,

Yes I think you are right again...

Classifier is a ParameterableElement and it redefines templateParameter.
The type of the redefined templateParameter should be
ClassifierTemplateParameter.

In the current implementation, we allow for users to call
setTemplateParameter(TemplateParameter ) but then throw an exception if it
not of type ClassifierTemplateParameter. This should be addressed in the
spec. so we can update our API.

Cheers,
- James.

Btw, In a thread above I read about your concerns of the current OMG Issue Reporting "System". I'd
also strongly advocate for a modernization. The current state really keeps me
from submitting comments myself, I'd feel like entering a church in shorts (I have nothing against
people who go to church..)

Why not a Bugzilla as you guys proposed before? This would really lower the hurdles.

Hi Felix,

You should not feel shy about entering concerns at OMG. At least there will
be a record of the issues. It's really the only way that problems will be
addressed. I would suggest also proposing a resolution if you really want
your issue to be addressed. As long as you don't enter a church in your
underwear I don't see a problem.
