Hello guys,
it took quite a time, but we finally found the reason for a problem of
Bpm4Struts when using ARIS UML Designer. (For the first posting of this
issue see
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05402.html,
followed by some conversation of Wouter and me...) As it seems, it's
neither a problem of Bpm4Struts nor ARIS, but of NetBeans MDR...
Here's what we found: When using ARIS, you have to provide a value for the
tag @andromda.struts.usecase.activity, belonging to a FrontEndUseCase, to
establish the link between the use case and the activity graph. (ARIS UML
Designer dosn't permit to define a Activity Graph in the namespace of a Use
Case...)
To do this in ARIS you define a tagged definition and then use this in the
FrontEndUseCase. This results in the following XMI:
<UML:UseCase name="Ticketreservation" xmi.id="ID.9-----6-----p--" ...>
<UML:ModelElement.stereotype>
<UML:Stereotype xmi.idref="ID.c2----4-----p--"/>
</UML:ModelElement.stereotype>
<UML:ModelElement.taggedValue>
<UML:TaggedValue xmi.id="ID.10----6-----p--" type="ID.2o----5-----p--">
<UML:TaggedValue.dataValue>TicketreservationGraph</UML:TaggedValue.dataValue>
</UML:TaggedValue>
</UML:ModelElement.taggedValue>
</UML:UseCase>
where the UML:TaggedValue references the Tagged Definition via type type
="ID.2o----5-----p--".
***Unfortunatly the NetBeans MDR doesn't seem to resolve this reference!***
As soon as you patch the XMI-File like this:
...
<UML:TaggedValue xmi.id="ID.10----6-----p--" name="
@andromda.struts.usecase.activity" type="ID.2o----5-----p--">
<UML:TaggedValue.dataValue>TicketreservationGraph</UML:TaggedValue.dataValue>
</UML:TaggedValue>
...
it works fine! We found this by comparing ARIS UML Designers XMI-Output
with that of MagicDraw bit by bit...
So it seems to be a NetBeans MDR issue. I'll ask the question in the MDR
users mailing list and will keep you updated...
Regards
Stefan
