Creating receptions using the Features window

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

  1. On the IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® browser, double‑click a class to open its Features window.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Open the Features window for the new reception operation you created and set its other values as necessary.
  5. Click OK.
