Getting type of Property by reflection [message #61863]

Hi...

is it possible to get the type of a property without knowing it's concrete
class? I expected something like UMLReflection::getType(P):C, but I found
nothing.

Hi again...

Same for UMLReflection::isReadOnly(P):Boolean.
Is there any alternative to this?

Hi, Stefan,

Sorry for the vacation delay ... well, not really ;-)

UMLReflection::getOCLType(Object) returns the type of an attribute or an
operation. It does, actually, coerce the metamodel-specific primitive
types to their corresponding OCL pre-defined types (a subject you know
well), so hopefully that's not a problem for you.

Hi, Stefan,

No, there is no such facility. Whether a property is read-only or not
is uninteresting to OCL, as it cannot modify the state of the system,
anyway.

Cheers,

Christian
