hi,
Ive implemented a system where I can check for certain UML constructs. I
check whether certain ports/connectors/interfaces have been stereotyped
and then through a query check if certain constraints have been met. This
way I find the 'special construct' and check the constraints in one query.
Another approach would be to add M2 level constraints to the profile
somehow and when certain stereotypes are applied it would check the
constraints.
For example:
2 components c1,c2
one component has a connector and connects to c2 through ports. The
connector has been stereotyped by "something".
If "something" has been applied then constraints should be checked. For
example, self.ownedConnector.end->size()=2.
How can I apply something like this to models that have profiles applied
to them (that define the stereotypes and the constraints).
This differs somewhat to examples I've seen of OCL being applied in that I
want to constrain it at M2 level and not M1 level.
regards,
nick

Hi, Nick,
The UML2 component actually supports what you are looking for,
out-of-the-box in its (current) 2.2 release. You can define constraints on
Stereotypes in your Profile, using OpaqueExpressions with OCL language,
exactly as you would define M1 constraints in a UML model. The static
profile generation capability takes advantage of the same support for
generating OCL constraints as does the code-generation from models.
Be sure, when generating your profile to code, to select the option to
generate OCL constraints.
HTH,
Christian

hi,
I'm just curious to know whether it would have been possible before 2.2?
Using OCL plugin for example? or would it require a lot of adaptation?

Hi, Nick,
Another alternative that I know of is to use the extensible EMF Validation
Framework component to discover, at run-time, the constraints in your
profiles and to evaluate them on your model. You might use the example
dynamic constraint provider in the org.eclipse.emf.validation.examples.ocl
plug-in for guidance (the example provider loads constraints from a *.ocl
document, but I shouldn't think it's a stretch to look for them in applied
profiles).
Other than that, as far as I know, you'd be rolling your own solution using
the OCL API.
Cheers,
Christian
