A reception specifies the ability
of a class to react to a certain event (called a signal in
the UML). The name of the reception is the same as the name of the
event; therefore, you cannot change the name of a reception directly.
Receptions
are displayed under the Operations category for the class.
Procedure
- On the IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® browser,
double‑click a class to open its Features window.
- On the Operations tab,
either click the <new> row in the list
of operations or click the New button in the
upper, right corner of the window and select Reception from
the menu. The new row is populated with the default values.
- Type the name of the reception in the Event box
on the New Reception window. If the product cannot
find an event with the given name, a confirmation box opens, prompting
you to create an event. Click Yes to create
an event and the specified reception.
- Open the Features window for the new reception
operation you created and set its other values as necessary.
- Click OK.
