Is it possible to retrieve the type name? [message #787493]

Hi all,

Is there a way for retrieving the type name of an object in OCL?
I need something like the java method getClass().

Thanks,
Luca

Hi Luca

Yes. oclType().

In the new pivot implementation, using the Examples plugins, this
supports full reflection so oclType().name.

oclType() is not implemented in the legacy implementations for Ecore or
UML bindings.

Does this mean that I cannot use it in Eclipse GMF for diplaying a type name in a label?

Thank you very much!!

Hi

Sorry, I'm forgetting. The legacy implementation potentially allows the
non-OCL eClass().name.
