Example of a BIRT report that lists the attributes of a DataType

The attributes of a UML DataType are not of type Property (like the attributes of a UML Class). The attributes of a UML DataType are of type ExtensionEnd

The following steps describe how you can show the ExtensionEnds of UML data types in a BIRT report:

1. Create a new BIRT Report.
2. Create a new Data Source of type UML Model.
3. Create a new Data Set called ExtensionEnds using the Row Mapping:

Row Query Expression:
//ExtensionEnd
Row Query type:
uml:ExtensionEnd

4. Specify the Column Mapping as:

Name	Query	Type
name	@name	String
ownerUri	getURI(./owner)	String

5. Create a new data set called DataTypes using the Row Mapping:

Row Query Expression:
//DataType
Row Query Type:
uml:DataType

6. Specify the Column Mapping as:

Name	Query	Type
name	@name	String
uri	getURI(.)	String




7. Create a new Joint Data Set called DataTypesWithExtensionEnds

8. Reference the two data sets previously created: DataTypes and ExtensionEnds
9. Select: Inner Join
10. Select DataTypes::uri and ExtensionEnds::ownerUri as join columns:

11. Add a new Table on the report surface

12. Bind the table to the data set DataTypesWithExtensionEnds

13. Add the columns DataTypes::name and ExtensionEnds::name to the table:

14. Preview the report. It will show something like this:

A sample model with the above report created in Rational Software Architect 8.0.4.1 is attached to this document.
