Hi, John,
What do you mean by "ocl queries?" Do you mean SELECT statements using OCL
conditions (org.eclipse.emf.query.ocl plug-in of EMF Query component) or do
you mean non-boolean-valued OCL expressions? Is your OCL expression using
the allInstances() operation to find the orders related to a customer?
If you are using SELECT queries, then you just need to ensure that the
contents of all relevant resources are in the IEObjectSource from which you
initialize your FROM clause.
If you are using allInstances(), then you need to provide a custom "extent
map" in the evaluation of your expression, because the default
LazyExtentMap implementation is scoped to a single resource (including also
cross-resource containments).
Otherwise, if your OCL expression is just traversal associations in your
model, then it shouldn't matter what resource an element is in ...

I've tried to implement the setExtentMap and i'm getting the following
error in the editor.
The method setExtentMap(Map<capture#32-of ?,? extends Set<? extends
capture#33-of ?>>) in
the type OCL<capture#23-of ?,Object,capture#24-of ?,capture#25-of
?,capture#26-of ?,
capture#27-of ?,capture#28-of ?,capture#29-of ?,capture#30-of
?,capture#31-of ?,capture#32-
of ?,capture#33-of ?> is not applicable for the arguments
(Map<capture#36-of ?,capture#37-of ?
>)
I'm getting this error even on the following:
IOCLFactory<Object> oclFactory = new EcoreOCLFactory();
OCL<?, Object, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?> ocl = oclFactory.createOCL();
// tell the OCL environment what our classifier extents are
ocl.setExtentMap(ocl.getExtentMap());
any ideas?

Hi, John,
The compiler can't match your wildcard type parameter substitutions because
the two different occurrences of wildcards in the same positions represent
unknown types that may or may not be the same.
I'm supposing that either your IOCLFactory interface needs to declare more
type parameters to correspond to the parameters of the OCL class, or your
createOCL() method needs these parameters. If this is derived from the
IOCLFactory in the interactive console example, then it should provide a
guide.

Hi Christian,
I too am encountered similar problems querying across resources in my
resourceSet. I have problems not only with allInstances() but with
oclAsType(), so I suspect like your reply indicated that I will need to
use a different Extent Map for my OCL queries.
Is there an implementation for ResourceSets that behaves like
LazyExtendMap? Or will I have forge my own?
Also - since my ResourceSet is being accessed using a transaction based
EditingDomain, does this require special handling from OCL?
thanks,
John

Hi, John,
MDT OCL doesn't provide a ResourceSet-scoped extent-map out of the box.
It really should, though. If you would be so kind as to raise an
enhancement request, I will ensure that it is scheduled for the 1.3
release. If you're interested, it would make a nice little
contribution :-)
OCL shouldn't require any special handling in a transactional editing
domain, because it must not (by definition) cause side-effects in the
model. However, I suppose that you should ensure that OCL constraints
are only evaluated in (at least) a read-only transaction. Evaluating
constraints can cause concrete side-effects such as proxy resolution and
computation of derived attributes, though it doesn't cause abstract
side-effects.
Cheers,
Christian
