Hi,

I am creating ECore model with OCL embedded in it programatically using JAVA. I am also creating instances of Ecore model but i want instances with evaluated values with respect to OCL derivations defined inside Ecore. As there are some attribute having derivation statement. I want to access those attributes and want to get the derived values from them.

class Library
{
property totalBooks : ecore_0::EDouble[1] { derived,volatile }
{
derivation: self.books.copies->sum() + testFunction1();
}
property books : Book[*] { composes };
property members : Member[*] { composes };
property loans : Loan[*] { composes };
operation testFunction1() : ecore_0::EInt[?]
{
body: 2;
}
}
class Book
{
attribute name : String[?];
attribute copies : ecore_0::EIntegerObject[?];
}
class Loan
{
property member : Member[1];
property book : Book[1];
}

This is structure of my generated Ecore. I am taking the instance of library and added few books into it and wants that Library.totalBooks should have calculated values.

Please guide me!

Warmest Regards,
Khurram

Hi Khurram

Your example looks very like what the OCLinEcore editor will give you so
I'm presuming that is what you are using.

If you genmodel your model, the OCL text is persisted in the
EAnnotations, so that the OCL can be interpreted appropriately.

(Make sure you set the Operation Reflection parameter to true.)

Then if you're using plugins you need to do no more, the plugin
registrations will happen automatically.

If you are running Standalone you need to 'manually' register the OCL
delegate registrations:

The following is cut and paste from
org.eclipse.ocl.ecore.tests.DelegatesTest.java

String oclDelegateURI = OCLDelegateDomain.OCL_DELEGATE_URI;
if (!eclipseIsRunning) { // Install the 'plugin'
registrations

EOperation.Internal.InvocationDelegate.Factory.Registry.INST ANCE.put(oclDelegateURI,
new OCLInvocationDelegateFactory.Global());

EStructuralFeature.Internal.SettingDelegate.Factory.Registry .INSTANCE.put(oclDelegateURI,
new OCLSettingDelegateFactory.Global());

EValidator.ValidationDelegate.Registry.INSTANCE.put(oclDeleg ateURI,
new OCLValidationDelegateFactory.Global());

HTH
