How to pass a java variable to OCL statement? [message #1063179] Wed, 12 June 2013 14:31 Go to next message

Hi there,

// set OCL context classifier
helper.setContext(ModelPackage.Literals.DEVICE);

Constraint invariant = helper.createInvariant("Module.allInstances()->size()<=6 ");

Query eval = ocl.createQuery(invariant);

validation = (Boolean) eval.evaluate(device);


A device has a set of modules. This is an example to validate a device object for the maximum number of modules. In here "Module.allInstances()->size()<=6 " is OCL syntax.

Problem:

Is it possible to define 6 in a java variable and call it in here?

such as,

int maxModules=6;
Constraint invariant = helper.createInvariant("Module.allInstances()->size()<=maxModules ");

I know this is not right.

How to pass a java variable to OCL statement?

Thanks in advance!
K

Hi

Passing a variable to an invariant is a very wrong way of looking at things.

You may of course referebce properties within invraiants, so if you
arrange for your 'variable' to be in a suitable property you can use it.

TX Ed.

What do you mean properties in here?

Cheers,

HI

A Package contains Classes and a Class contains Properties/Operations.

TX.

if TorderNumber is a property in the class you define invariant, then invariant could be,

Constraint invariant = helper.createInvariant("HeadModule.allInstances()->exists(m:HeadModule|m.orderNumber=TorderNumber )");

Is that you mean?
I know, the above invariant cannot be right.




IMO, you probably meant property is a field in the model.
Of course, if TorderNumber is a field in the model, yes can access that in an invariant, but that is not my requirement.


My requirement is, Passing a java variable/constant (which is not in the model) to OCL invariant.
Is this possible in OCL?


Cheers,
K
