I am beginning in UML and Papyrus
I want to know if it's possible to enter length for properties in a class diagram.
And if it's possible how i can do this.
And if it's not possible at what level of the UML method i could do this.
for example i want to define the name property of the class person.
property: Name
datatype char
length : 15

Thanks for the answer

Hi Ronan,

There are many ways you can do this, depending on your ultimate goal.

You could simply define a UML datatype named "char", then use that datatype to define the name property in your "person" class and then set the property's multiplicity to be the length of the "string".

A "char" primitive type is also defined in each of the "Ecore Primitive Types", "Java primitive types", and "AnsiCLibrary" model libraries. You can get access to those libraries by right-clicking on the model in the Model Explorer and selecting "Import > Import Registered Package. (Note that the "AnsiCLibrary" library requires you to first add Papyrus' "C++ code generation (incubation)" component.)

Note that the "UML Primitive Types" model library does have have a "char", but it does have a "String".

I do hope this helps.
