Error description

• Description
  -----------
  
  Customer has a number of Activity diagrams populated with
  Actions, which need to be changed into CallOperations. Manually
  redrawing large numbers of Activity diagrams is very poor use of
  engineers' time.
  However, the JAVA API method is not working on trying to
  automate the same.
  Using the method 'setStateType()' with argument as
  'CallOperation' on an action throws runtime exception.
  
  The sample code tried :
  
  public class ActivityCls {
  
  
  
   public static void main(String[] args)
  
   {
  
    IRPApplication app =
  RhapsodyAppServer.getActiveRhapsodyApplication();
  
  
  
  
    IRPState myState = (IRPState) app.getSelectedElement();
  
    //System.out.println(myState.getName() + ' : ' +
  
  myState.getStateType() + ' : ' + myState.getMetaClass());
  
  
  
  
  
    myState.setStateType('CallOperation');
  
    //myState.changeTo('CallOperation');
  
  
  
   }
  
  
  
  }
