Attribute constraints on a dynamic model [message #1389251]

Hi,

I'm building a dynamic ecore model and creating instances of that model. And my question is how can I add constraints to my dynamic model attributes that can be checked by the validation framework.

Let say I have a following code example:

EcoreFactory ecoreFactory = EcoreFactory.eINSTANCE;
EClass productClass = ecoreFactory.createEClass();
productClass.setName( "Product" );
        
EAttribute name = ecoreFactory.createEAttribute();
productClass.getEStructuralFeatures().add( name );
name.setName( "name" );
name.setEType( EcorePackage.eINSTANCE.getEString() );
        
EAttribute price = ecoreFactory.createEAttribute();
productClass.getEStructuralFeatures().add( price );
price.setName( "price" );
price.setEType( EcorePackage.eINSTANCE.getEDouble() );

And my goal is to add a min and max values constraints to the 'price' attribute.
Any working example will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michal

Michal,

If you add extended metadata annotations just like the ones produce when
creating a model from XML Schema, those constraints will be check even
for dynamic models. It's possible with OCL as well...

Hi

The OCLinEcore tutorial is a working example in Help->Help Contents->OCL
Documentation.
