Hey,

Let's say I have an EClass A with a EReference b of the type EClass C that contains an EAttribute d.
A and C are part of different metamodels.

So when I type the following into the Interactive OCL console:

A.b.oclAsType(C).d

"Unrecognized variable: (C)" is returned.
Can't I use an external EClass's features in an OCL expression or am I missing something?

Regards,
Daniel

HI Daniel

Which version of Eclipse OCL are you using? Some versions complain about
a variable for a type.

It should work, but "A.b" seems an unlikely start. A seems to be an
EClass rather than an instance.

Are you sure that the meta-model is in scope? I would expect to see a
MM2::C qualification to specify the package.

Regards

You're right about A.b not being a proper start, of course I was using an instance rather than the class.

The package qualification was exactly what I couldn't figure out on my own - that did it, thanks for your help!
