  • “[A]+.*” is a regular expression to find which element matches the name. In this example, the following are the names that match, such as Auxiliary, AppServer, and Alternative Fragment.


$report.getPresentationElements(diagram)

Get a presentation element in a diagram. This method is equivalent to $report.getPresentationDiagramElements(diagram).


Name Type Description 
Parameter(s)diagramcom.nomagic.uml2.ext.magicdraw.classes.mdkernel.DiagramA diagram instance.
Return -java.util.Collection A collection of elements.

For example:

$report.getPresentationElements(diagram)
#foreach($diagram in $Diagram)
$foreach($d in $report.getPresentationElements($diagram))
$d.name

  • $diagram is the diagram instance.


$report.getUsageRepresentationText(baseElement, bool)

Format the usage subject. The output string is the same as the Result column of Used by table in Magic Draw.


 Name Type  Description 
Parameter(s) baseElementcom.nomagic.magicdraw.uml.BaseElementA model element
to be formatted.

booljava.lang.Boolean True if a full path
is used, otherwise
false.
Return -java.lang.StringA formatted element.

For example:

$report.getUsageRepresentationText(baseElement, bool)
#foreach($baseElement in $Elements)
$report.getUsageRepresentationText($baseElement, false)

$report.getBasicFlows(usecase:UseCase) : List<FlowStep>

Find and return a list of basic flows from a given use case. If a use case scenario is not being used, it will retrieve the value from "requirementUseCase" stereotype tags.


Name Type Description 
Parameter(s) usecase com.nomagic.uml2.ext.magicdraw.mdusecases.UseCase A targeted Use Case.
ReturnList<com.nomagic.magicdraw.usecasescenarios.scenarios.FlowStep>A list of flow steps.
A Flow Step is an
object representing
each step of a Use
Case flow.

The <FlowStep> is a MagicDraw "com.nomagic.magicdraw.usecasescenarios.scenarios.FlowStep" class.


The important properties of <FlowStep> are as follows:

  • name prints a name of a current step, for example: $flowStep.name.
  • element returns an element associates with a current step, for example: #set ($e = $flowStep.element).
  • alternativeConditions returns a list of alternative steps <AlternativeCondition> from a current step, for example: #foreach ($alter in $flowStep.alternativeConditions) #end.
  • exceptionTypes returns a list of exception steps <ExceptionType> from a current step, for example: #foreach ($alter in $flowStep.exceptionTypes) #end.


For example:

Sample of $report.getBasicFlows(usecase:UseCase) : List<FlowStep>
#set ($basicFlowList = $report.getBasicFlows($useCase))
#foreach ($flowStep in $basicFlowList)
   $flowStep.name
   #foreach ($alter in $flowStep.alternativeConditions)
      - $alter.name
   #end
#end


$report.getAlternativeFlows(usecase:UseCase) : List<FlowStep>

Find and return all alternative flows from a given use case. The alternative flows will be listed from all possible branches of basic flows. If a use case scenario is not being used, it will retrieve the value from "requirementUseCase" stereotype tags.


Name  Type Description 
Parameter(s) usecasecom.nomagic.uml2.ext.magicdraw.mdusecases.UseCaseA targeted Use Case.
Return  -List<com.nomagic.magicdraw.usecasescenarios.scenarios.FlowStep>A list of flow steps.
A Flow Step is an
object representing
each step of a Use
Case flow. 

For example:

Sample of $report.getAlternativeFlows(usecase:UseCase) : List<FlowStep>
#set ($alternativeFlowList = $report.getAlternativeFlows($useCase))
$useCase.name
 #foreach ($flowStep in $alternativeFlowList)
   $flowStep.name
   #foreach ($alternative in $flowStep.alternativeConditions)
      $alternative.name
         #foreach ($alternativeFlow in $alternative.alternativeFlowSteps)
         $alternativeFlow.name
         #end
   #end
 #end


$report.getExceptionalFlows(usecase:UseCase) : List<FlowStep>

Find and return all exceptional flows from a given use case. The alternative flows will be listed from all possible branches of basic flows. If the use case scenario is not being used, it will retrieve the value from "requirementUseCase" stereotype tags.


Name Type Description 
Parameter(s)usecase com.nomagic.uml2.ext.magicdraw.mdusecases.UseCase A targeted Use Case.
Return  List<com.nomagic.magicdraw.usecasescenarios.scenarios.FlowStep> A list of flow steps.
A flow step is an object
representing each steps
of a Use Case flow.

For example:

Sample of $report.getExceptionalFlows(usecase:UseCase) : List<FlowStep>
#set ($exceptionFlowList = $report.getExceptionalFlows($useCase))
     #foreach ($flowStep in $exceptionFlowList)
         $flowStep.name
         #foreach (#exception in $flowStep.exceptionTypes)
             $exception.name
             #foreach ($exceptionalFlow in $exception.exceptionalFlowSteps)
                  $exceptionalFlow.name
             #end
         #end
     #end


$report.getOwnedElementsIncludingAdditional(element, includePureOwned) : List<Element>

This code returns owned elements of a given element including additional owned elements defined in the DSL specification by additionalContentProperty.


Name Type Description 
Parameter(s) elementcom.nomagic.uml2.ext.magicdraw.classes.mdkernel.ElementA model element.

includePureOwnedjava.lang.Boolean True if includes an
element owned directly
in the ownedElement
UML metaproperty.
Otherwise False.
Return -java.util.List A list of owned elements
of a given element.

The following are the examples of using the code.

Sample 1: $report.getOwnedElementsIncludingAdditional(element, includePureOwned) : List<Element>
#foreach($e in $elements)
$e.name : $e.humanType
  #foreach($child in $report.getOwnedElementsIncludingAdditional($e, true))
    $child.name : $child.humanType
  #end
#end
Sample 2: $report.getOwnedElementsIncludingAdditional(element, includePureOwned) : List<Element>
#foreach($e in $SmartPackage)
$e.name : $e.humanType
    #foreach($child in $report.getOwnedElementsIncludingAdditional($e, true))
       $child.name : $child.humanType
    #end
#end
Sample 3: $report.getOwnedElementsIncludingAdditional(element, includePureOwned) : List<Element>
#set($packages = $array.createArray())
#set($void = $array.addCollection($packages, $Package))
#set($void = $array.addCollection($packages, $SmartPackage))
#foreach($e in $packages)
$e.name : $e.humanType
    #foreach($child in $report.getOwnedElementsIncludingAdditional($e, true))
        $child.name : $child.humanType
    #end
#end
