Hello,
I have some questions on the mechanisms entailed to create operation in
environment. When we create a operation (for example with the defineOperation
method), we have to precise its context classifier.
In a uml environment, I would expect to make available a given operation only
for a given type. For example, to create an operation for only usable for the
context package. To do that I have to retrieve at first its context. It is its
metaclass (for example with getMetclass(Package)).
but I should do something wrong because It doesn't work. To add a operation on a
Package, I have to use the context owner OclAny.
If I debug it, I can see, that environment operation found for Package are those
for OclAny (UMLReflection will be invoked at first for Package, then for
OclAnyVoid). At some point, I understand that a user operation can't be "added"
in the corresponding classifier, and so that the classifier.getAllOperation()
may not include my operation.
So my question is to know if/how I may restrict a operation/variable for a type.
thanks a lot.

Hi, François,
This seems to work for me. I can define the following in text:
package uml
context Package
def: foo() : Boolean = true
endpackage
And use this in a constraint defined in the context of the Model metaclass
(which specializes package).
So, perhaps there is something wrong with the way that you are using the
define(...) operation. Try debugging the OCLParser::defCS(...) method to
see how the parser defines operations from text.
HTH,
