Hey,

is there a MTL command to reverse a list (Collection ?, Sequence ?)
content (as acceleo's reverse() method ?)

I don't know about hidden features of Acceleo, but it seems that OCL does
not provide such a method on Collections and the MOF Model To Text
standard does not include such a method in it's library. Here is a query I
used for creating a new sequence that contains the elements in reverse
order:

[query reverse(s : Collection(T)) : Sequence(T) =
s->iterate(x; acc : Sequence(T) = Sequence{} |
acc->prepend(x) )/]

You will have troubles with the returned collection, due to the inferred
type of the sequence. Here is an example how to use it:

[template operationInfo(o : Operation)]
Operation name: [o.name/]
Parameters (reverse):
[o.ownedParameter->reverse()->collect(oclAsType(uml::Parameter)).name/]
[/template]

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for using Acceleo
You have to put the tag [Acceleo] at the beginning of the subject (and
not MTL)
MTL is the name of the OMG standard, so we can understand ;-)
but the name of the eclipse implementation is Acceleo

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hi,

This iterate is indeed the way to go for now, the "old" acceleo's
"nReverse" method has been proposed no equivalent for a simple reason :
the incoming version of OCL should have its own "collection::reverse()"
method for this.

Cheers,
