Hello,

I have a question about using a behavioral port to relay events that are not specified by the contract interface.

For example, in the Ping Pong example in the Rhapsody documentation. There is a Ping and a Pong object. Within the Pong object, there is a PongMachine part. I would like the Pong object to consume an event rather than relaying it to the Pong Machine part. I had tried to specify a interface contract between the ping and pong ports to consume the event. What I had hoped to accomplish by doing this is: any events not specified in the interface are relayed to the Pong Machine part. However this is not the case. To enable viewing of multiple levels of abstraction this would be immensely useful and cleaner to have. I have been trying to find a way around this and the only two solutions I can come up with are:
1. Create Pong statechart to generate a new event when triggered in PongMachine.
2. Create 2 ports for each Ping and Pong to show which is a behavioral port and which is relay port.

However, given the scope of my model and number of interactions, these two methods will become very very messy and cumbersome. The amount of rework time and possibility of error will increase dramatically. What are some of the better ways to approach this?

Additionally, if I were to have, within Pong object, a PongMachine1 and PongMachine2, what is the best way for the Ping Object to send two different messages out(i.e. evPing1 to PongMachine1; evPing2 to PongMachine2)? Again I understand could use other methods 1 or 2, as stated above, but is there any cleaner way to do this?

Thanks
