Title: RE: (ROSE) Why only one stereotype per element

Page 2-67 (Figure 2-10 : Extention Mechanisms) of UML spec v1.3 : The diagram shows clearly that a model element is associated with 0 or 1 stereotype.   Francois. ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Bate To: Aker, Eric ; 'Francois Toubol (Private Mail)' ; Alex Goeman ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 15:06 Subject: RE: (ROSE) Why only one stereotype per element Eric, Please cite where in the UML 1.3 standard where it states that. I can't find any such restriction. Regards, Don Bate At 9:27 AM -0700 4/9/01, Aker, Eric wrote: Any one model element ( a specific class for instance ) can only have one stereotype. Yes it is a UML restriction.   Eric -----Original Message----- From: Francois Toubol (Private Mail) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 8:45 AM To: Alex Goeman; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: (ROSE) Why only one stereotype per element     There is no restriction regarding how many stereotypes can be associated with a model element in the UML specification.     I dont know about Rose, but anyway if there is a limitation, this is not 1 only, since for e.g. Rose comes with various class stereotypes (eg. control, boundary, entity......).     You can even assign a graphical representation to the stereotypes you defines (as specified by the UML spec.). If you want to do so, you can have a look at the REI section of the Rose help.   Regards, Francois. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Goeman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 10:15 Subject: (ROSE) Why only one stereotype per element Why can there be only one stereotype assigned to a model element ? Is this a design restriction from the rational software ? I though that multiple stereotypes were possible using UML so what is the motivation for restricting it.     Greetings, Alex Goeman -- Don Bate               | Specializing in Consulting and Mentoring in Bate Consulting, Inc   | Object-Oriented Technologies,                        | Software Architecture, and Software Process (972) 618-0208 voice (972) 618-0216 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED]
