the current profile xmi  file is located here:
https://svn.plone.org/svn/archetypes/ArchGenXML/trunk/umltools/argouml

Example 1:
----------

if you take the last entry, a tag definition for a tagged value (i 
replaced the uuids for better readability):

<UML:TagDefinition xmi.id = '...' name = 'index:extras'
          isSpecification = 'false' tagType = 'String'>
          <UML:TagDefinition.multiplicity>
            <UML:Multiplicity xmi.id = '...'>
              <UML:Multiplicity.range>
                <UML:MultiplicityRange xmi.id = '...' lower = '0'
                  upper = '1'/>
              </UML:Multiplicity.range>
            </UML:Multiplicity>
          </UML:TagDefinition.multiplicity>
        </UML:TagDefinition>

I'd like to tell the tag definition to be valid only on "Class" elements.

Example 2
---------
the following shoudl be allowed only on classes with the stereotype 
<<tool>>

the stereotype <<tool>> should be allowed only on classes.

        <UML:TagDefinition xmi.id = '...1' name = 'tool_instance_name'
          isSpecification = 'false' tagType = 'String'>
          <UML:TagDefinition.multiplicity>
            <UML:Multiplicity xmi.id = '...'>
              <UML:Multiplicity.range>
                <UML:MultiplicityRange xmi.id = '...' lower = '0'
                  upper = '1'/>
              </UML:Multiplicity.range>
            </UML:Multiplicity>
          </UML:TagDefinition.multiplicity>
        </UML:TagDefinition>

Id really appreciate examples for both. As you see in the file we have 
lots of tagged values and selecting them from this very long drop-down in 
argouml is no fun. 

Different topic, but it would also help if the dropdown helps selecting 
the value by jumping to the entry by pressing its first letter. This is 
not so important if we can reduce the list to relevant entries only using 
the OCL-approach you mentioned.

thanks and best regards

Re: Re: best practice to build profile for argouml 0.28

A year or two ago, I patched the ArchGenXML profile generator to
prepare it for our new profiles by providing stable xmi.id values, but
the patch also included some other functional improvements as well.  I
think, but am not sure, that I provided the patch to either the Plone
bug system or as an attachment/comment on one of the doc pages.  Do
you have that patch?  If not, I can see if I can resurrect it.

It sounds to me that both of these constraints can be handled by the
fundamental constraints of the Stereotype/TaggedValue system.
Stereotypes have base classes which constrain what elements they can
be applied to.  TagDefinitions are owned by Stereotypes and can only
be applied to elements which have those Stereotypes applied.  Are you
using this functionality or are you falling back to UML 1.3
compatibility mode where anything can be applied to anything?

Re: Re: best practice to build profile for argouml 0.28

Hi Jens,

stereotypes can be restricted to be applicable to classes, tagged values based on some tag definition not.
I'd suggest to organize the tag definitions by assigning them all to a smaller set of stereotypes. Then,
such tag definitions are only available in the tagged values tab if the respective stereotype is assigned.

This is to be used for your example 1 and 2. For your second example, the solution is easy: open the XMI in
ArgoUML as project, select the tool_instance_name tag definition and change the owner to the tool
stereotype in the property panel. I've done that and send you the modified profile, please find it attached.

I know of no other way then using the stereotypes mechanism, also I don't know if OCL can offer more here.

Now the archgenxml_profile.xmi use stable xmi.id.
I saw nowhere your patch. You already said that when I implemented stable xmi.id with the uuid module, but it seems your patch was never commited....

For now all tagged-values can be used anywhere. We don't use the "tag definitions are associated with a stereotype" functionality. We should indeed.

Yes, and in my previous mail I described how, and I sent a modified profile, I hope you got it.
