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
