Hi,

I am wondering what is the right way to save an interface realization in XMI.

The Eclipse UML uses:

        <packagedElement xmi:type="uml:Class" xmi:id="_x3E1MQDXEeKkMdPt4WajJA" clientDependency="_x3E1MwDXEeKkMdPt4WajJA _x3FcQADXEeKkMdPt4WajJA" name="MyClass">
          <ownedAttribute xmi:id="_x3FcQQDXEeKkMdPt4WajJA" name="provider" type="_x3E1MADXEeKkMdPt4WajJA" aggregation="composite"/>
          <ownedAttribute xmi:id="_x3FcQgDXEeKkMdPt4WajJA" name="requester" type="_x3DnEgDXEeKkMdPt4WajJA" aggregation="composite"/>
          <interfaceRealization xmi:id="_x3E1MwDXEeKkMdPt4WajJA" name="AmazonSearchPortAmazonSearchPortRealization" client="_x3E1MQDXEeKkMdPt4WajJA" supplier="_x3E1MADXEeKkMdPt4WajJA" contract="_x3E1MADXEeKkMdPt4WajJA"/>
        </packagedElement>

The Enterprise Architect for example uses this version:

<packagedElement xmi:type="uml:Realization" xmi:id="EAID_1A4187EB_6C57_426f_AEB1_2586843CAA90" supplier="EAID_93495DE8_4FA0_4540_9A47_1B8AFFE8BC8E" client="EAID_0B1ABE81_44F4_4929_A400_D5CC185E090F"/>

Do you know what is the right way?

Regards,

Tex

Hi, Tex,

The second snippet creates an element that isn't an
InterfaceRealization. It's just a Realization. Moreover, it isn't
distinguished as fulfilling the role of an interface realization
because it's just lumped into the grab-bag of stuff in the
packaged-elements collection, instead of the interface-realizations
collection.

The first snippet conveys more precisely the meaning of your model.

HTH,

Christian
