Update the properties of a link when he is created [message #486509]

hi

I also have a problem with the class the following link:

@gmf.link(source="from",target="to")
abstract class Link extends PropertyHolderElement, TypedElement {
attr LinkNavigability navigability;
ref ConnectableElement[1] from;
ref ConnectableElement[1] to;
ref Component fromContext;
ref Component toContext;
}

I wish that I automatically are assigned the values of the 4 elements
from, to, fromContext, toContext.

for example if I create a component A with a connectable element B and
another element component C with a connectable element D.

If I create a link between A and C I want to have in the properties links
the following values:
from = b
to = c
fromContext = A
toContext = B

I adds a another source and target of the link?
Is there a way to solve this problem?

thank you very much

marco

Hello marco,

Try using feature sequence initializers for corresponding link mapping in
..gmfmap model. This should help you to initialize from/to references (it's
possible to properly configure link mapping to sed fromContext/toContext).
Then you can try solving a problems with link rerouting.

In case you canot implement corresponding functionality using ocl in feature
sequence initializer then you can modify generated code.

I have already set up the link to / from

I wish I could add in the property value is also in the fields fromContext
and toContext just creates the link

Where can I see an example of the use of OCL?

thanks

Hello marco,

you need to create feature sequence initializer initializing fromContext
reference in a way like: self.from.context

where "context" is a reference from "from" element to "fromContext" one...

alex you please give me an example of what I create?

are not very experienced and I have not understood what I wanted to tell me.

I create a new file? if so, where?

Where can I study these things?

if you send my metamodel can indicate the changes that I should do?

thanks marco

Hi,

Quote:

In general you open your "???.gmfmap" file. Select the node (mapping) you want to initialize. Right click and insert an feature sequence initializer.

Examples can be found at http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF_Tutorial_Part_2#Feature_Initiali zers

For more informations about OCL and some example code see http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-OCL#Examples.

Regards,

sas

hi

i have create the feature sequence initializer....

feature sequence initializer<SAbinding(fromContext,toContext)>
reference new element spec <fromContenxt:= new Compoennt[1]>
feature sequence initializer<new SAcomponent(name)>
reference new element spec <name:= new EString[0]>

reference new element spec <toContenxt:= new Compoennt[1]>
feature sequence initializer<new SAcomponent(name)>
reference new element spec <name:= new EString[0]>

I got this:
fromContext: SAcomponent
toContext: SAcomponent

there was no element name but only the type of item.

for example having a SAcomponent A and B SAcomponent I should get
fromContext: SAcomponent A
toContext: SAcomponent B

i send you two image of my implementation?

I tried to attach pictures here but I failed.

you leave your email?

thanks marco
