Different containment references for the same class [message #1761184]

Hi,

I have this metamodel:
index.php/fa/29282/0/

Component is a Container
Port is a bordered node
I can create Component inside Component Diagram or within a Component.

I'm facing a problem when defining the element creation. If the different containment reference has the same name (e.g. containsComponent) would not be a problem (Create Instance->Reference Name: containsComponent). Due to the names of the containment references are not the same, I am trying to create the instance using a switch as I show in the following image, but I get this error.

index.php/fa/29283/0/

This is the best approach? I am stuck doing this, any hint will be appreciated.

Cheers,
Anthony

Hi,

The problem must be that your metamodel is not registered in the Odesign -> ComponentDiagram, Metamodels tab (Add from registry * .componentDiagram).

If you can change the metamodel, the best and simply appraoch is to define the same reference for ComponentDiagram and Component.

Hi Julien,

Thanks! You are right, the metamodel was not registered in the odesign. The thing is that I cannot change the metamodel.

The problem I am having after this issue is that the container does not seems to work fine. The addition of the Component works fine but the container does not show the vertical or horizontal scroll bar. Maybe I am making a mistake when I define the Semantic Candidates Expression. See figure below

index.php/fa/29287/0/

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Anthony

Hi,

Do you want to display or create Component in component?

For that you must used the reused container mapping and a service.
You can find an example joined.

Hi,

Thanks! your example works well and was very helpful. Another approach could be instead of using a service is to make an aql statement:

aql:if (self.oclIsKindOf(componentDiagram::ComponentDiagram)) then self.component else self.containsComponent endif

Cheers,
Anthony
