When creating class operations to your own data model in the Implementation folder, you can select from the following different types of implementation:
Mapping Diagram: Refer to Modeling Data Mapping for more information about mapping 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.
Refer to Action Script Language for a comprehensive documentation of all elements of the xUML Action Language. |
The fastest way to create an action script operation is via the quick actions of the related class.
Hover over the class you want to add the operation to, and click the Add Action Script Operation quick action (). | ||
Assign a name to your new action script and click Save. | ||
The Action Script Editor opens in a new tab. | ||
You can now add action script.
The script you have entered is saved and validated in the background. |
Alternatively, you can add a class operation via the context menu of a class, and create an implementation afterwards.
Right-click the class you want to add an operation to and select Add Operation from the context menu. | ||
The dialog Add Operation opens. Select Action Script from the drop-down list, enter a name for the operation and click Save. | ||
The new operation has been added to the class. The Action Script Editor opens automatically in a new Designer tab, and you can start entering action script (see further above).
| ||
Once the operation has been created, you can use the quick actions and the context menu to manage it.
|
Select an action script operation in the Implementation folder of the Service panel to display its attributes in the Attributes panel. You can also edit them there. Action script operations have the following attributes:

When you click in the Action Script Editor, the following attributes of the current action script are displayed in the Attributes panel. All attributes are read-only and cannot be edited there.
