OAW - Type Casting with XTend [message #383890] Mon, 16 June 2008 12:25 Go to next message

I have specified the following in my Extension:

cached int getConnectorCount(uml::ConnectorEnd e) :
uml::MultiplicityElement.isInstance(e.role) ?
e.getPartWithPortMultiplicity() * e.upper() *
((uml::MultiplicityElement)e.role).upper()
: e.getPartWithPortMultiplicity() * e.upper()
;

The cast of e.role into MultiplicityElemenet is acknowledged by the OAW
environement with the error "cannot cast from uml::ConnectableElement into
uml::MultiplicityElement". The dynamic type of e.role may however by a
MultiplicityElement. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Alexander,

you get this error because those types are not in a type hierarchy and
cannot be casted therefore.

The type hierarchy is as follows:

Element <- NamedElement <- TypedElement <- ConnectableElement
Element <- MultiplicityElement

You may consult the UML2 superstructure. Seems that the
ConnactableElement's role is not an MultiplicityElement.

Yes of course they are not in the same hierarchy, that's why I indeed need
the cast!
Just assume e.role is a Property, which is a ConnectableElement as well as
MultiplicityElement.

You could override your upper() function, assuming a default for non
MultiplicityElements, then upper() will also be recognized for
ConnectableElement and if it is at runtime a MultiplicityElement the
appropriate function will be called.

int upper (MultiplicityElement this) : upper;

int upper (Element this) : 1;


cached int getConnectorCount(uml::ConnectorEnd e) :
uml::MultiplicityElement.isInstance(e.role) ?
e.getPartWithPortMultiplicity() * e.upper() *
(e.role.upper()
: e.getPartWithPortMultiplicity() * e.upper()

strange multiple inheritance ;-)
Then you should cast it down to (Property) or use the approach Karsten
mentioned.
