Newbie - generated class is extending interface not implementing [message #491739]

Total, total newbie with UML/EMF.

Usign UML2 Tools I've created a simple interface with a single method "hello". A simple class has an interfaceRealization link to the interface.

I have created an EMF .gencode file from the .uml file, which shows "HelloClass -> Hello" (I presume this means HelloClass implements Hello).

When I generate the Java model I instead find that "HelloClass" is now an interface extending "Hello", rather than a class implementing "Hello".

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks,

It's showing EClasses I guess?

Every EClass X will always map to an interface X; that interface
typically has an implementation class XImpl. There's no such concept of
classes verses interfaces in Ecore, so don't expect it.

Probably isn't an issue of expectations verses how it actually works.

Hi Ed,

Sorry - wrote my post in a total hurry. Yes, I meant .genmodel - realised that when I got home!

Yes, the .genmodel and .ecore structures both show EClasses:
- 'Hello' interface is an EClass, and has a single EOperation 'hello'
- 'HelloClass' in also an EClass.

Right - clearly I need to do more reading up... I did look at a few tutorials but have found it hard going. I'll read up some more - get my expectations sorted out.

Thanks Ed,
Tony
