Creating an attribute stereotype [message #1728402]

Hello,
in the Interaction Flow Modeling Language book published by Morgan Kaufman, the authors state that:

Quote:

an effective way to create a UML stereotype of the general concept of attribute or attribute group and associate the OCL contraint with such a stereotype.

I have created a Profile and a Stereotype within it called PK, within my Papyrus RootElement, then created a Class with a single attribute. Next, I have tried applying the newly create profile to the latter, but without success because it would seem as though you can only apply Stereotypes to Classes, not to attributes.

What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks.

Philippe

Hi,

I think you have missed the step of adding an "extend" relationship to your stereotype (to the "Property" metaclass). To do this you need to create a Profile Diagram, then drag your stereotype onto the diagram. Next, use "Import Metaclass" from the palette and select "Property". Then create an extension from your stereotype to the imported metaclass (using the "Extension" element from the palette). That should fix it I think.

This document shows you in more detail: http://www.eclipse.org/papyrus/resources/PapyrusUserGuideSeries_AboutUMLProfile_v1.0.0_d20120606.pdf (page 12)
