Drawing Service Interfaces on SOV diagrams for MODAF
In the Service Interface Specification View (SOV-2), you specify the interfaces presented by a service to consumers. For UML diagrams, add classes stereotyped as <<Interface>> to populate your SOV-2 diagram.
Prerequisite The method of modeling SOV-02 by using UML class diagrams is deprecated in the current version of the MODAF modeling feature. If you previously created SOV-02 diagrams using UML class diagrams, existing data can remain in that form. To work with existing UML diagrams to model the SOV-02, you must first enable UML in the encyclopedia.
1 Draw a class symbol of stereotype <<Interface>>.
2 Draw a realizes line from the class providing the interface, to the <<Interface>> class.
3 To switch the symbol icon display, right-click the <<Interface>> class; then click Display According to Stereotype.
The <<Interface>> class is presented as a circle, and the dashed Realizes line from the class to its interface will turn into a solid line.
To revert the symbol icon display, right-click the <<Interface>> class; then click Display as Class.
