I have a Java Interface and it has following methods:
public int getAbc();
public int addAbcCorrect();
When we tried to generate class diagram out of it using VP, it created the Interface but created:
a. attribute ‘abc’ of type int
c. method 'addAbcCorrect()
So whenever the method has a return type but does not have parameters to it and is a ‘getter’ method, reverse engineering of code does not work as expected. It should have correctly created 2 methods with correct signatures with correct return type.
We came to this conclusion of the issue/behaviour by experimenting it with various combinations
The solution we are looking at is how to correctly reverse engineer an Interface having a ‘getter’ method so that it correctly creates a function not an attribute out of it.
Thanks & Regards,
