I am attempting to model a class called Identifier that has an attribute called name. This attribute is simply a static byte array
initialized as such:

private static final byte[] name = {'B', 'X', 'M', 'L', 0x00};

In Properties|Initial Value I code:

'B', 'X', 'M', 'L', 0x00

The code generator does not add the braces, so what I get is:

private static final byte[] name = 'B', 'X', 'M', 'L', 0x00;

which is in error. If I try to include the braces in the Initial Value field, they are automatically stripped.

How can this byte array initialization be modeled?

Thanks
Greg

Greg,
Have you tried something like:
new byte[]{ ‘B’, ‘X’, ‘M’, ‘L’, 0x00 }

for the initial value? I’ll admit, I haven’t tried to do this before.

Yes that works! Thank you.

Since Java supports the initialization as I outlined, shouldn’t the UML Initial Value support it also?

No need to rely.

Thanks again.
