Enterprise Architect allows the drawing of illegal Connectors. A Connector is considered illegal if no Part of the contextual Classifier is implied in the connection.
In other words, a Connector is considered illegal when both ends are connecting only Ports.
A transformation is provided for converting all illegal Connectors to InformationFlows by setting the option ea2md.semantic.connectorToFlow in the publisher.properties.
To keep illegal Connectors, set to following option in publisher.properties file:
# If True, all EA illegal Connectors are translated to InformationFlows. Available values: True, False - default: False
ea2md.semantic.connectorToFlow=False
To transform illegal Connectors to InformationFlows, set to following option in publisher.properties file:
# If True, all EA illegal Connectors are translated to InformationFlows. Available values: True, False - default: False
ea2md.semantic.connectorToFlow=True
