Hi,

I created a stereotype properties which is using another "Type" I defined
within same profile. How can I use set and get value from this properties
using api?

I use RSM's properties editor, I can input single or multiple instances of
data to this properties. It seems the value is held within a list.

Now the questions are:
1. Should I use a custom type in stereotype properties? Or I should define
another stereotype and use it in properties?

2. I know RSM is using ClassImpl to represent a Profile's type, but how can
I use uml2 setValue() or getValue() to add & retrieve data from it?

Thanks
Maniel

Hi Maniel

If I'm not mistaken, RSMs property editor will obtain the structural feature
from the DynamicEObject representation of the Stereotype application and
then set the types using EMF.

However, the setValue() should be sufficient. For simple use of
setValue(), the wiki has this article:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/articles/Intro duction_to_UML2_Profiles/article.html

For setting multi-valued properties, the final Object parameter would have
to be some instance of java.util.List. The elements in the list would need
to conform to the property type . Internally the setValue() method creates
a new list and calls eSet using the new list.

Cheers,
- James.
