How can I use basic types, such as Map, String, etc?
Can I represent generic types (Map <String, String>) in UML (or can I do so only in OCL)?

Hi,
UML has a template construct call TemplateSignature that you can use to
define parameters for types. To see how it works, I suggest that you
look at the Ecore.UML model provided by the UML2 project, or convert any
Ecore model that defines generic types to UML.
As for OCL, it defines a few parameterized types in the standard
library, but provides no means to define new parameterized types of your
own nor even a syntax to for working with parameterized types in your
UML model. It's a pretty big hole in the language ...
HTH,
Christian

thanks, now I know what you mean.
The reason I want (need) to use java maps (and probably other java classes), is because I need to be able to use some frameworks, for example (apache) commons chain, where I need the execute(Map) method.
My current solution is to create another model, where I create as primitive type Map (in package java.util), when I think about it, it might be the only possible way...
