Hi,
I just tested the new Juno UML2 4.0 Release and came across something
that is curious for me.

When I run this code snippet:
Activity act = UMLFactory.eINSTANCE.createActivity();
pack.getPackagedElements().add(act);
InitialNode initialNode = UMLFactory.eINSTANCE.createInitialNode();
--> act.getNodes().add(initialNode);
// leads to The object is not contained in a resource error during the
// save but from my perspective it is ok?!
--> initialNode.setActivity(act);
// This works fine but all my code uses the approach above.

Am I wrong?
Greetings Peter

Hi Peter

I think that ownership of ActiveNodes was an area where things had to be
sorted out in UML 2.4.1. You probably need to do some specification
study to check on the modeling intent and then some MDT/UML2 study to
see whether that intent is realised.

Hi Ed,
mhh I found this section in the Migration Guide:
Changes in the revised UML 2.4.1 specification (to resolve issue 16232)
also required the following changes:

-Non-compliant Activity::ownedNode and Activity::ownedGroup properties
were introduced to compose nodes and groups which are not structured
activity nodes.
-Serialization (and deserialization) of the Activity::group and
Activity::node properties were customized so that they include idref
attributes which reference any XMI elements (serialized for the
Activity::structuredNode property) representing structured activity
nodes composed by the activity.
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/UML2/UML2_4.0_Migration_Guide#XMI_Interchange)

Looks like something has changed in the Specification.
I look at it. Thanks!
Greetings
Peter

Hi

There has also been some quite intense discussion on related topics as
part of the UML 2.5 simplification process. The draft is now available
for review by OMG members, so if you have access you might want to also
see whether this is an area where a problem has already been solved.

Hi Ed,
thanks you for the remark but I am not a OMG member.
I played a bit around with the ActivityNode topic this morning and I
think there is still something wrong.
As I understand the remark in the Migration Guide they changed the
Activity:structuredNode feature to non derived and because of that the
MDT/UML2 guys introduced Activity::ownedNode to compose nodes that are
non structured activity nodes.
So far so good. I adapted my code to use getOwnedNodes() instead of
getNodes() but when I want to remove the node from the activity with my
generic method that use
EcoreUtil.remove(node);
The node is not removed from the ownedNodes feature.
As workaround EcoreUtil.delete(node) does the job.
Greetings Peter
