How to get instance of stereotype as generated ecore class instance [message #1790507]

If I create a UML profile, and then generate the Ecore representation and its generated code we get a java interface and class for each stereotype in the profile. Now if I apply the profile to a UML model, and then apply one of its stereotypes to some element, lets say component A, I would like to programatically take A as input and be able to get the instance of the java class generated for that stereotype.

I have been spinning my wheels on this for a while now and I suspect either that it is not possible or (more likely) I am misunderstanding something about how to use UML profiles. Any help would be appreciated. If you need more information to help, just let me know and I will explain what I am doing in more detail.

Thanks for your time.

Hi, Randall,

An Element to which stereotypes are applied can provide the EObject implementations of those stereotype instances via the Element::getStereotypeApplications() operation. These EObjects, in turn, provide their EClasses via the EObject::eClass() operation. And an EClass provides the generated Java interface that it represents via EClass::getInstanceClass().

Also, the Element::getStereotypeApplication(Stereotype) operation finds the particular instance of an applied stereotype if you know which one you're looking for.

HTH,

Christian

Hi,

There's also a shortcut from UMLUtil:

UMLUtil.getStereotypeApplication(Element, Class<T>)

Where Class<T> is your generated stereotype interface.

MyStereotype s = UMLUtil.getStereotypeApplication(myComponentA, MyStereotype.class);

HTH,
Camille
