To have classes in your Java™ design use a
JavaAnnotation:
Procedure
-
Open your Rhapsody® project
in Java.
- On a diagram (for example, an object model diagram), drag your
JavaAnnotation from the browser onto your diagram.
Notice that from a model perspective, the JavaAnnotation is shown with two
stereotypes.
- Create a class on your diagram that represents a user-defined Java class in the system that wants to use the
JavaAnnotation.
- Draw a dependency from your class to your JavaAnnotation Your diagram
resembles something like the following figure:
- Double-click the Dependency link. The Features window opens.
- On the General tab, from the Stereotype
list, select AnnotationUsage in PredefinedTypesJava.
Using this stereotype ensures that the code is generated correctly.
Note: AnnotationUsage displays in the Stereotype box.
- Click OK.
Your diagram resembles something like the following figure:
Results
The following figure shows how the annotation is used within the Java class:
