Hi,
I encounter a problem about adding constraint to a node.
problem:
Class A has containment reference feature (bReferences)to B. B could add
to A's compartment. In the gmfmap file under the Node Mapping of Class A,
I add a constraint with ocl body of 'slef.bReferences->size()<=3'. Then I
generate the diagram editor code. But in the editor I can still add more
than 3 B in A's compartment. Is anything incorrect around here? Thanks a
lot.
best regards
Junyan

Hi Radek,
It works with the 'Live Mode' Audit Rule. Just as you said 'Audit Rule'
could be regarded as the hole constraint for a domain element target. But
I could not do the constraint successfully by adding child constraint to
node mapping, just like tutorial dose for link mapping. Are there any
additional special settings for the node mapping constraint? Thanks
Best regards
Junyan

I'm not sure I fully understand your problem. In the first post you have
described
a situation about constraint for editing the model (addition up to 3 Bs),
which is an AuditRule.
As for the Constraint element of NodeMapping, It just refines the mapping of
domain
meta-model EClass to visual Node (as I have stated in the end of my previous
answer).
In other words, 'slef.bReferences->size()<=3' constraint under the A
NodeMapping says that
only A instances containing up to 3 B instances are mapped to the given
node.
Or have I missed anything ?
PS: there is only one thing I can see as a source of the problem, a typing
error in 'slef'' .?
I would expect 'self'' instead, unless your A class defines a 'slef'
property.
