[ATL] How to refer to superclasses [message #81635]

I am very new in ATL. Sorry if my question is so basic.

So far i am trasforming from umlbMetamodel to TDMetamodel.
My problem is i have to use an attribute "name", which is defined in a
class on the top of a TDMetamodel. So, I don't know how to refer to
superclass of superclass of superclass along the associations. Can i do
either of the options belows ?

1) Use multiple eContainer() such as

rule ContextAxiom {
from t : TDMetamodel!TDTiming
to u : umlbMetamodel!UMLBConstant
(name <- 'LOWER_LIMIT_' +
t.eContainer().eContainer().eContainer().name )
}

2) Use assoication's name between Classes such as

rule ContextAxiom {
from t : TDMetamodel!TDTiming
to u : umlbMetamodel!UMLBConstant
(name <- 'LOWER_LIMIT_' + t.timing.constraints.segments.name )
}

Note that : timing, constraints and segments are association names.

I tried both ways but non of them work now. So, i am not sure if i use it
correct. Please give me suggestion. Thank you very much.

What you mean is that TDTiming has a name attribute inherited from one
of its superclasses ? If yes you can simply access to the "name"
attribute like that :
(name <- 'LOWER_LIMIT_' + t.name )

If you want to get the name of an other element of your instance model,
your solution is good.
if you have :
A
|-B
|-C
|-D

Where D is the TDTiming instance, you will have :
t.name => D
t.eContainer().eContainer().eContainer().name => A

Best Regards,

William
