Hi everybody,

I'm trying to use oclContainer() in an OCL Query to get the eContainer of an EObject. Nevertheless, this operation is not recognized.

I'm following the code provided by OCL documentation:

OCLExpression<EClassifier> oclQuery = null;
OCL ocl = OCL.newInstance(EcoreEnvironmentFactory.INSTANCE);
OCLHelper<EClassifier, ?, ?, Constraint> helper = ocl.createOCLHelper();
helper.setInstanceContext(context);
oclQuery = helper.createQuery(query);
Query queryEval = ocl.createQuery(oclQuery);
Object queryResult = (Object) queryEval.evaluate(context);

Thanks for your help!

Hi

My previous reply, accidentally off list is below.

oclContainer() / eContainer() is useful whenever the metamodel omits a
named relation to the container. It is needed if the parent is rachable
by other relationships too.

Hi

You only provide a partial clues, but I can see from the template
arguments that you must be using the Ecore-based OCL.

oclContainer() and oclContents() are candidates for inclusion in OCL 2.5
and are available in the PIvot-based OCL prototype.

They are not available in Ecore-based OCL, but eContainer() is provided
your object is an EObject; you may need oclAsType().

Thank you Ed for your answer,

Yes, I know what you mean. In fact, I cannot modify the meta-model to add the parent relationship. That is the reason why I ask for oclContainer().

Thanks again

I found a temporal solution and it's to use eContainer() operation. Thus, if you want to get the parent of your object, you can use:

children.oclAsType(ecore::EObject).eContainer()

I hope this help Wink
