Hi there,

I'm new in the ATL, someone could say to me, how I can obtain the list of the subclasses of a class, please ?

Thank you so much,

With regards,

hi bler

I do no know too much about your case
you can create similar helper and call it when needed



helper context UML!Class def: getSUperClass () : Sequence(UML!Class) =

UML!Class.allInstances()->select( p | p.superClass =self);

Hi wafaa,

Thank you so much for your helps Smile.

In fact, I have a class diagram as entry model, and I have to move a given operation from a super- class to all its sub-classes, and deleting this operation from the super-class. If you have any suggestions about, it'll help me a lot...

Regards,

hi Bler

let me explain something

when transforming the parent , transform only its name and the attributes you want

you do not need to delet actually operations will be created if you transformed them too.
like this

rule parentClass {
from uc : UML!Class ( uc.hasChild())
to c : UML!Class (
name <- uc.name,
ownedAttribute <- uc.ownedAttribute )

}


and when transforming children create operation for each like this

rule child{
from uc : UML!CLass
( not uc.hasChild() )

to c: UML!Class (


name <- uc.name ,
ownedAttribute <- uc.ownedAttribute,
ownedOperation <- uc.ownedOperation ,

ownedOperation <- uc.superClass.ownedOperation
}

and let hasChild

helper context UML!Class def: hasChild () : Boolean =
if thisModule.getAllSupers ->exists(self)
then
true
else
false;

helper def : getAllSupers () : Sequence(UML!Class) =
UML!CLass.allInstances() ->select(p | p.superClass) ->asSet();

Hi wafaa,

A lot of thanks four your explications, it's precious for me.., I didn't see it like this, I will do/try it right-now...

With regards Smile

Hi wafaa,

I had an error with the helper
helper def : getAllSupers() : Sequence(UML!Class) =
UML!Class.allInstances() ->select(p | p.superClass) ->asSet();

Error looks like this : "Operation not found: Sequence {}.not()"

I could not correct it, so I modified the helper "hasChild()" as below, since I have:
- a super-class "A" with 2 properties (pro1 and pro2) and 3 operations (oper1,oper2 and oper3), and
- 3 sub-classes "B" "C" and "D"
The code is :

helper context UML!Class def: hasChild () : Boolean =
if self.name = 'A' then
true
else
false
endif;

rule parentClass {
from uc : UML!Class ( uc.hasChild())
to c : UML!Class (
name <- uc.name,
ownedAttribute <- uc.ownedAttribute
)
}

rule child {
from uc : UML!Class( not uc.hasChild() )
to c: UML!Class (
name <- uc.name,
ownedAttribute <- uc.ownedAttribute,
ownedOperation <- uc.ownedOperation,
ownedOperation <- uc.superClass.first().ownedOperation.at(2)
)
}
I would like to move « oper2 » form A to B, C, and « D », after the transformations I have:
- the super class "A", with 2 properties (pro1 and pro2) and 2 operations (oper1, oper3),it's good, but
- the "oper2" appears only in the sub-class "D"

Could you tell me way please?

Regards,

hi again:

let me explain some thing, class B and C are created but it seems that some condition or binding did not success, so they are left
while in D the condition is true;

but I understood that in all your cases you used the second operation to be inherited and the rest no!!!

the last question how did the operation 1 and 3 transformed for the parent class and we did not use the binding for operation and why only no 1 and 3 were transformed??!!


hope I did not make you confused Evil or Very Mad

I was just trying>>

you can debug your code to see how does it pass condition and so on.

in debug check classes names, owned attribute and owned Operation

good luck Bler

Hi wafaa,

Thank you so much for your help,

Yes I used only the operation 2 to be inherited, I just started to learn ATL..., I suppose that the operations 1 and 3 were transformed because only the operation 2 has been inherited. Like a kind of swap...I'm not sure, if I use only one sub-class it is ok, but for more than one class, the operation 2 is created only on the last one, so maybe I have to duplicated it (clone or something like that...), for the moment I added a third rule to add the operation for the sub-classes without it... I debug it, it same to be good, anyway I have to check, read/learn...

Thanks again Smile,

Regards
