A critic to check that the classifiers associated with the ends of an association are in the same namespace as the association.
With hierarchical namespaces, this would appear to allow any association. However the intent would seem to be that, whilst association between packages is reasonable, association between sub-systems or models is not.
This is the fourth well-formedness rule for associations in the UML 1.3 standard (see section 2.5.3 of the standard).
Since ArgoUML currently only supports a single model, and no subsystems, there is no way to trigger the critic at present. Although a deleted classifier will appear in the separate "trash" namespace, this will also delete the association, so the critic will not trigger. However it will be useful for the future when multiple models and sub-systems are supported.

Constructor Detail |
public CrCrossNamespaceAssoc()
Constructor for the critic.
Sets up the resource name, which will allow headline and description to found for the current locale. Provides a design issue category (MODULARITY) and a knowledge type (SYNTAX).
Method Detail |
public boolean predicate2(java.lang.Object dm, Designer dsgr)
The trigger for the critic.
Get the association. Then loop through the association ends, checking that their associated classifiers are in the namespace, i.e. are part of the same model or subsystem.
predicate2
in class CrUML
dm
- the Object
to be checked against
the critic.dsgr
- the Designer
creating the model. Not used, this is for future
development of ArgoUML.
PROBLEM_FOUND
if the critic is
triggered, otherwise NO_PROBLEM
.
