<Xtend> How to delete a UseCase from a list [message #533387]

Hi,

I am trying to delete actor from the list with following xtend code,

import uml;


uml::Model root(uml::Model model):
	let actorList = model.eAllContents.typeSelect(Actor).collect(e|e):
	actorList.forAll(e|deleteActor(findActor(actorList, "User")))->
		model; 

// find Actor
List[uml::Actor] findActor(List[uml::Actor] ac, String name):
	ac.select(e|e.name == name);
	
// delete Actor 	
Boolean deleteActor(List[uml::Actor] ac1):
	ac1.remove(ac1)->true;

workflow executed but actor remains there.
Any one can point where I am wrong or I m missing some thing.

Regards,
Akhtar

Hi Akhtar,

there are several misconceptions in your code here:

1) .collect(e|e) does not do anything
2) I think you use forAll(), but indeed should use collect(). Although forAll does loop through the collection as well as collect(), forAll will return a boolean when checking that all elements in the collection meet the condition inside. That's not what you are intending here.
3) actorList is a new collection, it is no reference to the set of actors in the model, it just contains them. Calling the deleteActor function will actually remove the actor from actorList, but not from the model.

I think what you really want to achieve is to delete the actor "User" really from the model. To do so you would have to use org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EcoreUtil#delete(), which must be called through a Java extension.

Void delete (emf::EObject): org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EcoreUtil.delete(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject);

Call this fuction by searching the model for your actor:

model.eAllContents.typeSelect(Actor).selectFirst(e|e.name=="User").delete();

Hi Karsten,

Thanks for correcting me. I use Java extension and it works fine.

Akhtar
