| [qvto]can I use an ocl operation as a model attribute [message #829953] |

When doing transformation, I may choose an element using ocl operations.
e.g. var s := source.objectsOfType(A)->select(i | i.name="name1")
But I want to define an element (e1) with an attribute (a1), may be a String ('source.objectsOfType(A)->select(i | i.name="name1")'),
so I can choose the elements like this:
var s := someOperation(e1.a1)
can I do this?Or is there some way?

Hi
Today: I don't think so. But the evolution of the OCL specification to
recognize iteration bodies as Lambda Expressions could allow it in the
future.
One possible workaround is to define a Predicate class and
select(OclAny) operation so that you can do
var element := aPredicate.select(a);
and pass alternate Predicate instances.
OCL currently has no ability to dynamically parse a Concrete Syntax
string, though I've raised an OMG issue to add support.
