Hi,
I created a plugin that validate my UML model(when I right click at
element it validate all constraints even those defined in abstract
stereotype and defined in the sub-elements) but my boss want that I
associate a severety to my constraints (errors,warning...)
in this case, should I use the emf validation (to graft my code in the
validate method of the OCLUMLconstraint class) or I can make it all alone in
my plugin?
another question:
I can see that we can associate a severety to one constraint when defining
it in plugin.xml
but if we have many constraints, should we create a constraint provider to
each one (cause I want a different message for each invalide constraint)
(my boss want me to use emf validation cause it's developped by eclipse team
although my plugin is working :-(((
thanks
asma

Hi, Asma,
If I recall correctly, you are defining Constraints on Stereotypes in
Profiles. A "UML-ish" way to solve your problem might be to tag these
Constraints with severities and error messages using a Stereotype with
suitable properties, in a Profile that you apply to your Profiles
containing your constraints. Profiles are a kind of Package, so you can
apply Profiles to them for the purpose of stereotyping elements (such as
constraints) within them. You could even use UML2's new capability of
statically defining profiles to define a convenient Java API (like any
other EPackage) for your constraint evaluation to find the severity and
the error message that it needs when reporting problems.
If you want to hook your support for validating the constraints of applied
stereotypes into the EMF Validation framework, then you can implement a
custom constraint provider after the fashion of the example in the
org.eclipse.emf.validation.examples.ocl plug-in. It gets OCL constraints
from a *.ocl text file; yours would just find them on the stereotypes as
you are doing now.
Cheers,
Christian

Hi, Asma,
You can use the examples provided with the EMF Validation Framework SDK to
study how the framework functions and as guides to implementing your own
solutions. However, this code is copyright, so you should probably check
with your lawyers about conditions on actually modifying this code and
redistributing it in your company's products.
Having said that, you are mostly correct: understanding this example code
and modifying it to extract constraints from the profile instead of a *.ocl
file is sufficient, but is not necessary :-) You can always write your
own code that does pretty much the same thing, in the end.
Cheers,
Christian
