[ATL] Do we have to instantiate ProfileApplication when transforming an extended model into another? [message #642807]

I have defined a toy transformation that receives an input model to which I have applied a simple profile (profileA). I used UML Editor to build profileA and then, by using a command, I applied it to the source model; as a result, an instance of the meta-meta-class ProfileApplication appeard on the .uml file of the source model.

The target model generated by my ATL rules generated the instances of the meta-classes Model, Class, and the stereotype defined in a second profile (profileB) properly, I applied the instance of the stereotype to the class properly.

The .uml file for the target model DOES NOT contain an instance of the meta-meta-class ProfileApplication as the .uml file for the source model does. A consequence of this is that profileB cannot be de-applied from the target model. And then comes my questions: is it a rule to generate an instance of the meta-meta-class PofileApplication in a target model? can a target model be useful without it? What is your experience on that?

Kindest regards.

Use "applyProfile" on your Model element :

rule Model {
from s : Model
to t : Model()
do{
t.applyProfile(UML2!Profile.allInstances()->select(s | s.name='nameoftheprofile')->first());
}
