Quote: I would think this would be modeled appropriately though inheritance: A book extends/specializes a publication, therefore a book is a special type of publication. (end of quote)
This is precisely what I'm trying to accomplish. I've modelled Book as a generalization of Publication (http://www.rcfile.org/model.png). I need to get a list of Publications and be able to determine the "type" of each Publication, which is why I need to have a "type" attribute, be it a String or a PublicationType, on Publication whose value is provided by the subclass (Book).[/quote] _________________________________________________________ Reply to the post : http://galaxy.andromda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2329#2329 Posting to http://forum.andromda.org/ is preferred over posting to the mailing list! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
