memberEnds not correctly ordered? [message #1701048]

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with AssociationClass' memberEnds, and I'm not quite sure if it's a bug or not.
The order of two memberEnds in the XMI and in the model differs, although it's not supposed to.

I've attached a simple model with which I have the issue. The XMI has an AssociationClass C with two memberEnds e1 and e2. The unserialized list contains e2 and e1 on my machine.

Can anyone help me, or tell me if it's a bug?

Thanks!
Raphael

Hi

I see e1 then e2 consistently.

The AssociationClass E has three ends; e1, e2, e21

The file I uploaded was not the "simple" one, but I still get a wrong order, unlike you.

I'm attaching a model that can be opened directly in Papyrus, along with a screenshot showing the wrong order. Just to prove that I'm not dreaming Smile

Perhaps I need to provide a specific option to the XMI reader.

Hi

You complained only about the serialization order which is not at fault.

There does seem to be an issue with the rendering order in the
Properties View.

If you adjust the order in the Properties View and save you will see
that EMF/UML2 uses attribute rather than element style:

i.e

<packagedElement xmi:type="uml:AssociationClass"
xmi:id="_18_1_85c026e_1435345554139_248855_13811" name="C"
memberEnd="_18_1_85c026e_1435345554139_870795_13812
_18_1_85c026e_1435345554140_858779_13813"
navigableOwnedEnd="_18_1_85c026e_1435345554140_858779_13813
_18_1_85c026e_1435345554139_870795_13812">

rather than

<packagedElement xmi:type='uml:AssociationClass'
xmi:id='_18_1_85c026e_1435345554139_248855_13811' name='C'>
<memberEnd
xmi:idref='_18_1_85c026e_1435345554139_870795_13812'/>
<memberEnd
xmi:idref='_18_1_85c026e_1435345554140_858779_13813'/>
<navigableOwnedEnd
xmi:idref='_18_1_85c026e_1435345554139_870795_13812'/>
<navigableOwnedEnd
xmi:idref='_18_1_85c026e_1435345554140_858779_13813'/>

so I suspect that UML2 (or possibly EMF) has failed to respect the
element-style ordering.

Please raise a UML2 Bugzilla.

Actually, I complained about the deserialization. I use UML2 only to read XMI files and parse UML models.

Sure, I'll go ahead. Thanks!
