Description
Metamodel, XMI transformations and metric definitions for
Gentleware Poseidon for UML V4.0 and V4.1.
Poseidon 4 uses the UML2.0 metamodel for statechart diagrams,
sequence diagrams, and activity diagrams. The other diagram types
still use a UML1.x meta model, in particular collaboration diagrams
still use UML1.x objects, links, and stimuli. Other peculiarities
of the XMI exporter include:
- In the XMI files, element types from the UML1.4 metamodel use
namespace "UML", element types from UML2 use namespace "UML2".
- Object and control flows in UML2 activity graphs are not differentiated
in the XMI file, both are encoded with UML2:ActivityEdge elements.
Consequently, metrics and design rules that take this difference into
account no longer apply. For some reason, object nodes are encoded with
UML2:Pin, and there are instances of UML2:CallAction.
ActivityEdge, Pin, and CallAction are abstract in the UML2 metamodel, so
there should not be any instances of these types.
- Types of (UML1.4!) attributes and parameters no longer are encoded
with the usual UML:Parameter.type and UML:StructuralFeature.type elements,
but with a UML2:TypedElement.type element. So they managed to mix UML1
and UML2 in a single model element now...
The XMI transformation file takes these details into account.
