Question & Answer
Question
How do you achieve pointer (*) type modeling for attribute types using JAVA API in IBM Rational Rhapsody?
Cause
You would like to use Java Application Programming Interfaces [API] code to automate the manual task to be performed with in Rational Rhapsody or to achieve something that is not possible through the Rhapsody GUI.
Answer
In order to achieve pointer (*) type modeling of attribute types you can use the description field.
The following script leverages this idea of modeling attribute types (using @*Pointer in the description field) as pointer pointer:

String prpVal = "**";
if(attDesc.contains("@*Pointer")) {
myAtt.setIsReference(1);
myAtt.setPropertyValue(prpKey, prpVal);
