How to get an instance from an implicit object dependent using API method IRPDependency.getDependent() with IBM Rational Rhapsody?

Question & Answer


Question

How do you get an instance from an implicit object dependent using API method IRPDependency.getDependent() with IBM Rational Rhapsody?

Cause

The IRPDependency.getDependent() method returns an unexpected result: class instead of the expected instance for ImplicitObject.


Answer

The project mapping of dependencies from:

    Implicit objects => dependent is Class defining the object
    Explicit objects => dependent is the Object itself

Therefore the API is returning the correct result as dictated by the Rhapsody model structure.
To get the instance from an implied object dependent you should use the additional method: IRPModelElement.getOwner().
