How can you automatically create a sequence diagram for all the interactions contained in your IBM Rational Software Modeler (RSM) or IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA) model using a pluglet?
A typical usage scenario is the case where you have created communication diagrams and want to automate the creation of equivalent sequence diagrams in each existing interaction.

The attached file CreateSeqDiagramProject.zip contains a pluglet example which shows how this can be done. The class com.ibm.rational.support.CreateSequenceDiagram.java contains the following two methods which create a sequence diagram based on UML interactions in the model. Note that the pluglet will create an empty diagram if the interaction does not contain any content/children.
private void getInteraction(Object object) {
if (null != object) {
if (object instanceof Interaction) {
Interaction interac = (Interaction) object;
out.println("Interaction: " + interac.getQualifiedName());
out.println(interac.eContents());
createDiagram(interac);
}
}
if (object instanceof EObject) {
Iterator contents = ((EObject) object).eContents().iterator();
while (contents.hasNext()) {
getInteraction(contents.next()); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
}
}
private void createDiagram(Interaction interaction) {
out.println("Creating diagram in ");
IUMLDiagramHelper dgmHelper = UMLModeler.getUMLDiagramHelper();
out.println(dgmHelper);
Diagram newDiagram = dgmHelper.createDiagram((Namespace) interaction,UMLDiagramKind.SEQUENCE_LITERAL, interaction);
out.println(newDiagram);
newDiagram.setName(interaction.getName()+" - seq");
}
