Hi,
I would like to create a UML2 EMF model which should represent a Sequence
diagram. In this diagram I would like to use a UML2 "loop" fragment and add
some messages to this loop. Can somebody give me an example how the EMF
model file looks like for this scenario?
Thanks for your effort,
J

Hey Jörg,
I am trying to figure interaction diagrams too. From my little
knowledge, Messages aren't actually attached to lifelines. They are
attached to MessageEnds. Now OccurenceSpecifications are actually
"covered" by a Lifeline. A MessageOccurenceSpecification is a mix of the
two - a MessageEnd and an OccurenceSpecification.
MessageOccurenceSpecifications are what you are probably going to be using.
So try doing a myLifeline.getCoveredBys() and do a check "instanceof
MessageOccurenceSpecification" and then myMOS.getMessage() ?
There is probably a more elegant solution though..
Regards,
Andrew

Hey Jörg,
Sorry I couldn't help you further. I am also frustrated that I can find
no tool to view sequence diagrams correctly. If you find something free
let me know! I think they may start working for something to do seq
diagrams over at uml2tools project soon!
Regards,
Andrew.

Hey Jörg,
Go get yourself magicdraw CE (Community Edition). Draw a sequence
diagram or two and then File->Export EMF. You can them paste all these
files into eclipse and load up the UML 2 tree editor to see how it is
done. SDs are pretty tough - a tutorial on them would be nice :)
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
thank you for the quick answer. I will download MagicDraw und try it out.
Actually I wanted to use the Sequence Diagram Editor of Topcased, but I do
not know if the model that gets created by this editor is really what it
should be. Maybe it's a bug in the editor.
Does anbody know a good sequence editor which exports XMI and can be used in
a commercial context for free?
Cheers,
J

I did as you told me, but I get the same irritating results.
My problem: I would like to know which messages are part of a interaction
fragment (alt, loop, seq, etc.). It seems to me that it is only possible to
get a reference to the covered lifelines but not to particular messages. Is
this correct?
Cheers,
J
