[ATL] Adding elements to collections [message #82004]

Hi,

I'm almost sure this is a well documented issue somewhere, but I just
can't find it :(

I'm trying to write this matched rule:

rule Activity2Step{
from
activity : BPMN!Activity
using{
container : BPMN!Graph = activity.refImmediateComposite();
}
to
step : IM!Step
do{
if (container.oclIsTypeOf(BPMN!SubProcess)){
container.graph.vertices <-
container.graph.vertices->including(activity);
}
}
}

Long story short, there's this already existent collection called
'vertices' which I access with container.graph.vertices, and I want to add
an element to it. I know using including per se won't help, since these
collection operations don't really modify the collection. So I tried what
you're seeing, assigning the result of the including operation to the same
collection, but I get:

SEVERE: cannot set feature bpmn!Pool.vertices to value
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.DynamicEObjectImpl@cc05a6 (eClass:
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@14a3622 (name: Activity)
(instanceClassName: null) (abstract: false, interface: false))

If you could point me in the right direction, I'd be extremely thankful.

Cheers,

-Juan

Hi,

As I've been doing some research on the topic, I found the following
thread:

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.m2m/m sg01764.html

Apparently for this user, it did work adding elements to the collection,
however his issue was concerning the order of the elements. At the end of
the discussion they mentioned that they would change this after the user
filed a bug. Can you comment on this? I haven't found anything else :(

Hi Juan,

I'm not sure to clearly understand what you want to do.
But I think the third code snippet in the following document may help
you:
http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/basicExamples_Patterns/articl e.php?file=SideEffect/index.html

There is an example with the "nameToAssignHistory" collection populated
in imperative section.

HTH.

Freddy.

Thanks a lot Freddy! They sure are helpful. I don't know how could I have
missed them before ;_)
