Compartiment with multiple classes to be added

Compartiment with multiple classes to be added

• wapmill

  Hi Luiz, I'm afraid that's not possible in the DSL Tools at present.
  
  Would it be possible to give a little more detail on your domain model and scenario so we can evaluate it for our candidate feature set
  
  thanks,
  Gareth

  I am developing a UML like model, but there are several differences from UML one of them is the attribute types.
  Using UML as example I would like to add an Abstract Class called Attribute and several concrete types attributes which inherit from the abstract class.
  I would like to add these concrete classes in only one compartment called Attribute instead of creating one compartment for each class.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  I'm now trying to create exactly the same behaviour in a designer and hoped that the DSL tools would support this.
  Any idea's on a solution yet

  Hi Jacques,
  
  Honestly, I didnt try with the actual CTP version of DSL tools
  To work with this problem I have created one compartment for each type of class.
  
  If you have any diferent solution
  Please let me know !
  
  If I find the solution I will post it here

  Exactly ! But when I add a relationship between an abstract class and a concrete one,  VS shows me an error. I  overcome the problem creating relationships between each concrete type and the X classes.
  
  Would be great if I could associate abstract classes when I am developing the metamodel and later, in the built editor, instantiate concrete classes to "replace" the abstracts
  
  Thanks!

  Hi Luiz,
  I see your problem.
  
  I'm guessing that EITHER this feature or the resolution of your other issue would solve the problem

  Mapping compartments to relationships to abstract classes is now enabled in DSL Tools December CTP, so Luiz's initial issue shoudl be solved.

  Luiz,
  
  It works (good enough to me)!
  This is what I did.
  
  Create a "abstract" class in your model and relate that to your 'Entity class'
  Then derive classes from the abstract class.
  
  In the designer define the connector for the relation above and bind that to your listAppartment.
  
  Presto, it works!
