Hi , first I attached a picture of my metamodel to explain what I need help with

From the picture you can see that a navigational class has attributes and operations.So I don't know how to make or the syntax to create a constraint that checks all the navigational attributes associated with a specific navigational class. Like check for each navigational class all of navigational attributes associated with it.

Thanks in advance for your help

pd: sorry for my English, not my native language Razz

Hi,

Would the following work?

context NAVIGATIONALATTRIBUTE {

constraint SomeConstraint {
check: ...
}

}

Cheers,
Dimitris

not really,I want to do something like this (i know the sintax and the code its not right)

context NAVIGATIONALCLASS {

constraint SomeConstraint {
check: self.name = "something" and self.NavigationalClassNavigationalAttribute.name="anotherthing";

}

}

Something like that so i can check all the navigational attributes associated with a navigational class in specific and check the value name in both the class and the attribute.

I hope that clarifies what i'm trying to do

thx for the help

Hi,

If you need to check only the attributes of a specific class (X) you could use a guard to specify this e.g.

context NAVIGATIONALATTRIBUTE {

constraint SomeConstraint {
guard: self.eContainer()./*this navigates to the container NAVIGATIONALCLASS*/.name = "X"
check: ...
}

}

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Sebastian,

eContainer() is a method of EObject which is the interface that all EMF model elements conform to (see http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.4.3/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/EObject.html for more methods)

Cheers,
Dimitris
