How to put Integer default value to null [message #1779895]

Hello,

I'm creating a papyrus profile and i want to put the default value of an attribute of type Integer or EInt to null, but I can't find how to do it with papyrus interface.
In case I use undefined default value, I got 0, same thing happens using LiteralNull .

May someone explain me how to do this please?

Thanks!

Hi

EInt cannot be null; it is a java.lang.int. You must use EIntegerObject. EMF does not support nullable primitives, even though UML and OCL does.

Integer should be able to set to null. Please provide a repro if you meant what you wrote.

Hello,

thanks for your quick answer

My bad for Eint you right.

It seems the integer value does not accept null value.

I've a meta-model with stereotype using an integer attribute. My model uses that meta-model but retrieve a 0 value instead of null even I've defined literalNullValue or undefined in its properties.

I'm certain the issue comes from the model's attribute. The model is based on the meta-model, my attribute is defined with a null value in the meta, but the attribute using this definition in the model (Properties->Profile->Applied stereotypes) looks like :

- myStereotype (form myMetamodel)
--myAttribute: Integer[0..1] = 0

My need it to set it such, but can't, I got this warning "the actual entry is not an integer" :
--myAttribute: Integer[0..1] = null

Hi

As I wrote before: "Please provide a repro if you meant what you wrote." There is no way that I am even going to attempt to follow your hints to reconstruct your problem.

Hi

Attached models, preferably as a zipped project, are much easier to handle, since they don't need cutting and pasting to reconstruct what you already had.

I can't see your problem.

Obviously your attribute[1..1] cannot be set to null.

I don't see any use of your Stereotype so that presumably isn't the problem.

In UML, null is the absence of an Object. In a textual language such as Java or OCL this absence is hard to handle textually and so the "null" keyword is available.

Hello,

Here is the zipped project.

My meta-model attribute "length" in my "Attribute" Stereotype is set to [0..1] (screen 1)

In my model, the attribute in my class use the "Attribute" stereotype (screen 3).
But, in the Profile view in Properties view (screen 4), i can't (or i don't know how to do it) set the value of "length" in Applied stereotypes -> Attribute to null.

Hi

Your repro has problems with bad references to /TestGeneUml/myMetaModel.profile.uml, which once fixed give a double ProfileApplication.

I have the latest EMF in my workspace and so have had to raise new Bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=529884

Your Attribute.length does not have a <<EAttribute>> stereotype so you have a default value for isUnsettable which is I suspect false, however after a bit of fighting to get past Bug 529884, I can set it to true and it seems to make no difference. It appears that the UML Model Editor does not allow a blank default for an unsettable Integer. However given the amount of fighting I had to do to get past earlier bugs, I cannot be confident in this.

Hello,

I have papyrus Oxygen version 3.0.0

I have another issue related to this one :

When in my metaModel my "length" attribute is a String.
In my model, in the Profile view of "myAttribute", the default value is null .
If I set the value and then delete it, "length" is an empty String not null.
I don't know how to set it back to null.

Hi

The icons at the top right of the Properties View include a reset-to-default. Hover over them to find out which.

hello,

Here is what i have in my Profile view:

index.php/fa/31849/0/

Shouldn't i have a "Property values" line with button on top of the value input?

Can I ask you which version of Eclipse/papyrus are you using?

Hi

Sorry I was referring to the UML Model Editor. Just possibly selecting the "UML" or "Advanced" sheet might help. Otherwise raise a Papyrus Bugzilla. Perhaps deleting the specialization resets to default.

It was a long time before I discovered 'reset-to-default' so for many years I resorted to XMI text editing.

Good evening,
I have trying to understand the related bug, but still don't know if this issue is solved or not. Could anyone help please?

Is possible to have [0..1] Integer attributes in a stereotype and able to get null values instead of a 0?

Thanks in advance.
