Chapter 8 Using Object Languages

Object language editor categories

The values you define as parameters fall into three categories:

Category

General

UML

Script

Extended Attributes

Description

Object language identification

Object stereotypes as defined in UML

Generation characteristics, command definition, and data type translations

Extended attributes for the OOM objects that will be used in the generation process

General category

The values that you define in the General category are used when you generate from an Object-Oriented Model. For example, when you generate a Java script file, the values you define in this category appear at the beginning of the file.

The following parameters are defined by default in an OOM:

Parameter

Product

Version

Family

Description

Name of the model

Version of the model

Default language for current model

Default value

Java

UML category

	In the UML category, you can define the stereotypes of all objects that can
	have stereotypes. You can modify existing default stereotypes, or define new
	stereotypes for any object in the model.
	When you modify the values of a stereotype for an object in an OOM, the
	changes apply to all existing objects and all new objects, of the same type,
	that you create in the model.
Stereotypes	You can create new stereotypes for all objects in an OOM, or you can modify
	the values of existing ones.
