Method 1: For Standard ports connected via link or connector.
For standard ports you can make use of the API calls IRPPort getFromPort() and IRPPort getToPort()
The following code snippet returns the 'from' and 'to' ports correctly and no null pointer exception is thrown.
IRPModelElement moEle = app.getSelectedElement();
IRPLink link = (IRPLink)moEle;
System.out.println(link.getName());
System.out.println(link.getFromPort().getName());
System.out.println(link.getToPort().getName());
]
Method 2: For Flow ports (SysML ports) connected via link or connector. For Flow ports you can make use of the API calls IRPSysMLPort getFromSysMLPort() and IRPSysMLPort getToSysMLPort() The following code snippet returns the from and to Flow [SysML] ports correctly and no null pointer exception is thrown. [
IRPModelElement moEle = app.getSelectedElement();
IRPLink link = (IRPLink)moEle;
System.out.println(link.getName());
System.out.println(link.getFromSysMLPort().getName());
System.out.println(link.getToSysMLPort().getName());
