Hi,
I have been experimenting with emf's ocl and I have a related question.
I form the following expression:
exp = QueryFactory.eINSTANCE.createQuery(
"self.declaredFacets->asSet()->union(self.superTypes.declaredFacets)- >asSet())",
CorePackage.eINSTANCE.getPartyType());
PartyType is an EObject.It has supertypes of EObjects. It has an
eStructuralFeature declaredFacets. When I evaluate this expression on a
PartyType object which has two declared facets but no superType, I get an
"IllegalArgumentException: Illegal operation(null.union(null)".
When I change the expression to:
exp = QueryFactory.eINSTANCE.createQuery(
"self.declaredFacets->asSet()->union(self.superTypes->asSet()- >collect(p :
PartyType|p.declaredFacets)->asSet())",
CorePackage.eINSTANCE.getPartyType());
everything works fine. Do I have to use collect whenever an eStructural
feature (in this case superTypes) might return null, is this a bug or am I
doing something wrong?
I would appreciate any comments,
thanks,
Selcuk

Hi, Selcuk,
You should never need to use an explicit collect iterator in place of the
dot notation when the collect would simply navigate another reference; the
notations are equivalent.
There definitely is a bug, here. I can parse the following expression:
IOCLHelper helper = HelperUtil.createOclHelper();
helper.setContext(ExpressionsPackage.eINSTANCE);
OCLExpression expr = helper.createQuery(
"self.eClassifiers->asSet()->union(" +
"self.eSubpackages->collect(eClassifiers)->asSet())");
but not this:
self.eClassifiers->asSet()->union(
self.eSubpackages.eClassifiers->asSet())
which should work equally well. Instead, I get a "No common supertype:
(EClassifier), (null)". It seems that in my case and yours, the parser
cannot determine the type of a dot navigation expression through two
collections.
I have raised https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130239 to
address this problem.
Thanks,
Christian
