Hi, Shrawanika,
The mappings of OCL collections to Java collections is as follows:
OCL Sequence ==> Java List
OCL Set ==> Java Set
OCL OrderedSet ==> Java LinkedHashSet
OCL Bag ==> Java Collection
Note that, in the LinkedHashSet case, it is still good Java policy just to
treat it as a Set because we want to be free to use a different
implementation if/when one comes along (e.g., if EMF were to create an
EOrderedSet).
For multiplicity-many EStructuralFeatures and EOperations, we map their
ETypes to OCL collection types as follows:
isMany isOrdered isUnique ==> OCL OrderedSet
isMany isOrdered !isUnique ==> OCL Sequence
isMany !isOrdered isUnique ==> OCL Set
isMany !isOrdered !isUnique ==> OCL Bag
Cheers,
Christian
