Apply Stereotype to operation in Eclipse UML-Designer

Question

Applying a stereotype to an operation

Hi, in the image I have a "REST" stereotype that I would like to apply to the "Operation_2". In effect, at a system level, I want to say that this is a REST API.

I have tried Melanie's suggestion (thank you), but my REST stereotype does not seem to appear as an option.

Stereotype in profile

I have also tried creating a profile, and putting the REST stereotype in the profile. Then tried by selecting the stereotype option from the context/symbol menu that appears when the cursor is over the operation in the class diagram. That is illustrated above, but no luck there either.

Many thanks

Nathan

Answer 1

There is many different ways to apply a stereotype on an operation. The easiest one is to activate the Stereotype layer.

This will add a new Stereotype tool in the palette. Then select this tool and click on your operation, it opens a dialog to select a stereotype.

You will see the stereotype appplied on your operation.
