[Acceleo]Need OCL expert Trick! [message #548715]

Hi all,

I read the entire Acceleo and ocl spec, and tried to make my own template.
I just need one more thing to complete it, but I'm not able to find the solution.

I want to generate text only one time when facing one or more *ToMany Association.
For example, importing java.util.Collection when got a toMany relationship.
I tried this:

[if(c.getAssociations().memberEnd->select(p:Property | p.upper <> 1).type->excluding(self)->size() > 0)]
import java.util.Collection;
[/if]

But it fails when I got a reflexive Association (Collection is not printed due to the excluding(self) condition).

Is there a way to solve this?

The ideal would be to know when i'm facing oneToMany relationship or manyToMany relationship, for example, importing javax.annotation.OneToMany or javax.annotation.ManyToMany depending the association upper's opposite.

Thank you in advance, Charlie

Hello Charlie,

You can try something like :

[if(c.attribute->exists(prop : Property | not(prop.association.oclIsUndefined()) and prop.upper <> 1))]
import java.util.Collection;
[/if]

Regards

Sebastien

Nice solution!
I never thought about that.

The more I practice and ask for questions, the more I discover elegant solution to problems.

I just didn't realized the power of oclIsUndefined, I'll just have to refactorize some code Wink

.

Thank you so much, Charlie
