Elguenbri,

I'll redirect you to the UML2 newsgroup, which I've added to the "to"
list of the reply, so you don't need to repost.

There could be many reasons for such an error. Is it possible that the
property name is not set ( the second parameter ), or the stereotype is not
applied properly?

Do you have a more detailed stack trace with a line number perhaps?

If you don't reply with the UML2 newsgroup on the "to" list they will
not see your question and you won't get an answer.

In general, you'd get a list value if the upper bound of the attribute
is > 1...

The types of objects you can pass to Element#setValue() include lists of
items. So if your property on your stereotype boild down to an
eStructuralFeature with isMany() == true, then you can pass something of
type List to setValue().

Also, if your property is an enumeration, then you can pass an
EnumerationLiteral as the parameter to setValue(), or a String and an
attempt will be made to create the corresponding data type instance from the
specified string.

If something is going wrong because of how your stereotype is defined or how
data is passed then you need to set a breakpoint on
ElementOperations#setValue().
