Hi,
I'm implementing some support for OCL variables in our tool.
The idea is the folowing, I have defined an emf model with two kinds of
OCL objects. OCLCondition and OCLVariables. In the OCLConditon you specify
the context and the body of your statement while you define variables with
OCLVariables. I try to use emf validation facilities to validate the ocl
query. It means that this validation occur at the M2 level.
Here is the problem :
Let's say that you define a variable _name_ with the folowing type
EcorePackage.Literals.ESTRING
Here is the body : self.title <> _name_
the context is Book (extlibrary)
While validating
OCL ocl = OCL.newInstance();
Environment env = ocl.getEnvironment();
Variable<EClassifier, EParameter> var =
env.getOCLFactory().createVariable();
var.setName("_name_");
var.setType(EcorePackage.Literals.ESTRING);
env.addElement(name, var, true);
BooleanOCLCondition consition = new BooleanOCLConsition(env, body,
context);
I got the folowing error :
org.eclipse.ocl.SemanticException: Type mismatch. No common supertype:
(String), (EString)
I'm stuck on this one.
Thanks.

Hi, Maysonnave,
This same problem actually was raised in this newsgroup just recently, in
the "EClassifier for primitive variables" thread.
The OCL parser automatically maps certain of the Ecore data types to OCL's
corresponding pre-defined primitive types when introspecting features of
model classes. So, for example, an EOperation parameter of type EString in
your model is re-interpreted as type String from the OCL Standard Library.
The same mapping is not performed for Variables, because these cannot occur
in the models in which context an OCL expression is defined: Variables are
not model elements, but only elements of the OCL syntax.
So, you will have to assign the OCL String type to your variable, instead.
Try this:
OCL ocl = OCL.newInstance();
Environment env = ocl.getEnvironment();
Variable<EClassifier, EParameter> var =
env.getOCLFactory().createVariable();
var.setName("_name_");
var.setType(env.getOCLStandardLibrary().getString());
env.addElement(name, var, true);
BooleanOCLCondition consition = new BooleanOCLConsition(
env, body, context);

Hi, Xavier,
Yes, that's basically right. You can simplify the process, however, by
letting the environment determine for you the appropriate mapping.
I can improve on my previous revision of your code snippet:
OCL ocl = OCL.newInstance();
Environment env = ocl.getEnvironment();
Variable<EClassifier, EParameter> var =
env.getOCLFactory().createVariable();
var.setName("_name_");
var.setType(env.getUMLReflection().asOCLType(
EcorePackage.Literals.ESTRING));
env.addElement(name, var, true);
BooleanOCLCondition consition = new BooleanOCLConsition(
env, body, context);
The UMLReflection API encodes the knowledge of these type mappings, in
addition to the knowledge of how to introspect instances of the target
metamodel.
HTH,
