Different containers for superclass and subclass [message #1740968] Sun, 21 August 2016 17:09 Go to next message

Hi,
I'm new to creating editors with Sirius and I have the following EMF meta-model:

http://i.stack.imgur.com/5WjSb.png

I want to create a Sirius editor for the given meta-model with different representations for Superclass A and Subclass B. Both classes A and B can be instantiated and class B has additional attributes and references. In the representation for Subclass B, I only want to show a limited number of attributes from Superclass A and a few additional attributes from Subclass B. The idea is now to have different containers and depending on which class it is I want to show the respective container. So far when I have two Containers defined in the Sirius editor, one for each class and I create an Instance of Subclass B I get now two containers in the representation, one with the representation meant for Superclass A and one with the representation meant for Subclass B. Is there any way I can tell Sirius to only show the container of the respective class?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Thomas,

It seems you should restrict your "SuperClassA" mapping to instances of SuperTypeA.

You can do this with a semantic candidates expression like aql:self.yourContainmentReference.oclIsTypeOf(yourPackage::SuperTypeA)

For your mapping (if direct chidren of the default layer), self will be the semantic element on which you created the diagram.

Without this filtering, Sirius will accept each candidatate which is a instance or any subtype of the mapping's domain class.

Regards,
