Error "ObjectDeclsCS" expected after "object" [message #870543]

Hello,

In a qvto script I have this object creation:

object {
ownedMember += ownedPackages->collect(thisPackage |
createPackage(thisPackage))->asOrderedSet();
}

The dynamic interpretor (red crossed circle) shows me the following error:
"ObjectDeclsCS" expected after "object"

How can it be fix.

Thanks.

Hi

+= looks suspect.

When a complicated expression doesn't work, make it simpler till it does
then all becomes clear.

This comes from an extract of the [Quick Start Guide to MDA]
from Borland.

I will avoid mixing Qvt samples from different implementors.

Thanks.

HI

You're not mixing implementors; just using vintage or inadequately
proof-read material.

Quick Start Guide to MDA is dated September 2006, and refers to OMG document
ptc/05-11-01 (MOF 2.0 Query/View/Transformation final adopted
specification).

The specification has not changed significantly since then. Looking at
the spec, I can find no justification for "object" in

mapping ... {
init { ... }
object { ... }
}

It seems that this usage of "object" was recognised to be redundant (in
perhaps 2004/2005) so that the syntax is

mapping ... {
init { ... }
....
}
optionally

mapping ... {
init { ... }
population { ... }
}

The residual usage of object is as a type constructor in an expression

object s:Schema {
name := self.name;
table := self.ownedElement->map class2table();
}

where += is an option, but not normally necessary since you start from
scratch.

If you're going to use QVTo, you should familiarize yourself with the
specification; it's not perfect but at least gives a vendor-independent
view of what should be right.

Excellent answer. Thanks, I will follow your advises.
