Problems when geting values from stereotypes [message #380012] Fri, 03 April 2009 08:59 Go to next message

Hello,

Supose I have the stereotype "Animal" with field "age:int" and inheriting
stereotype "Dog" and the element X has the "Dog" stereotype applied.

When I do X.isStereotypeApplied(Animal) it returns me false althougth
Dog is a sub-stereotype of Animal.


I would have expected that doing something like :
X.getValue(Animal,age)
it would return me the value of age field from Dog.Instead it throws me an
IllegalArgumentException because inside there is code that checks if the
Animal stereotype is applied to X.

My pourpuse is to get the value age from all stereotypes(many of them)
inheriting Animal only by accessing the getValue(Animal,age).

Is it possible or are there other solutions?


Thank in advance for your answers!

Sorin,

This question is more appropriate for the UML2 newsgroup (copied).

The behavior of the UML2 API is such that you have to specify the concrete
stereotype that is applied when asking for the value of a tag. If you want
to obtain the tagged values for multiple (sub)stereotypes, you have to write
custom client code to iterate over the list of applied substereotypes, which
can be obtained via the Element#getAppliedSubstereotypes(Stereotype) method,
and retrieve the property value for each one.
