When creating class operations to your own data model in the Implementation folder, you can select from three different types of implementation:

  • Action Script:The usage of action script is explained on this page.

  • Mapping Diagram:Refer to Modeling Data Mapping for more information about mapping diagrams.

  • Activity Diagram: You can implement class operations by a UML activity diagram. Refer to Modeling Activities for more information on activity diagrams.

The xUML Action Language is a script like language that you can use in class operations to implement atomic actions like manipulating strings, arrays, and so forth. Such class operations are called action script.

Tip

Refer to Action Script Language for a comprehensive documentation of all elements of the xUML Action Language.

Once the operation has been created, you can use the quick actions and the context menu to manage it.
You can:

  • add a parameter
    • in

    • return
  • open the implementation of the action script
  • change the implementation from action script to activity diagram or mapping diagram

  • copy the action script operation
  • paste the action script operation (available if Copy or Cut option have been used before)
  • rename the action script operation
  • delete the action script operation
