How to set stereotype for an attribute ?

I have defined different stereotype in my Rhapsody profile. I am creating classes programmatically using

Set newClass = tPack.addNewAggr(....) call.
Then I add attribute to it using
Set attrName = newClass.addAttribute(Name)

After creating this new attribute, I would like to set stereotype for this attibute as "input" where input is predefined stereotype in my profile. Which API call I should use ?

Hi Sameer,

you can use attrName.setStereotype(input);

but before you can use this method, you have to find the stereotype object in your model. I use therefore an own method.

I cant find .setStereotype method. I am using Rhapsody 7.2. Which Rhapsody version it is available. I used .addStereotype method and it seems to be working.

Also one more question, how do you set type of attribute ?
when I try
Attributer.type.name = type
it says can not set property.

which call sets attribute type

Hi Sameer,

in the Java API i would suggest the following orders to set the type of an attribute

IRPAttribute attribute;
attribute.setType(type);

where type is from the type IRPClassifier. So i think you have to first find the right classifier before you can set it.
