I admit I am new to the Complete OCL.
I'd like to use it as a validation means instead of the XText default validation as described in this very nice presentation http://www.slideshare.net/EdWillink/enrich-your-models-with-ocl.
In this way I could exploit the same OCL to perform validation before further QVT/MOFM2T(ACCELEO) transformations.
To this end I have started with an empty .ocl file and I am trying to define the first import.
The problem is that it depicts this error:

Unresolved import 'http:/...' : White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi

You don;'t provide much to go on...

An import of http:/... is an import of a registered package using its
nsURI. It would appear that this p[ackage is not registered.

If instead you use a platform:/... import then you can reference your
*.ecore or *.uml file.

Have you tried following the Complete OCL tutorial or examining the
Royal and Loyal example?

Regards

Hi Ed,
thank for your kind answer.
I have tried the platform:/resource/.. notation importing the Ecore as you suggested and it works.
However I guess I have to import the registered package in order to use it in a secondary Eclipse Application (which also executes the XText editor for the language to validate).
am I right?

Hi

It is certainly important to use consistent references to ensure that
project/plugin usages are respected.

Unfortunately this is not easy in standalone applications, and a variety
of modeling applications have a variety of inconsistently helpful
workarounds.

You may find org.eclipse.ocl.examples.domain.utilities.ProjectMap helpful.

A couple of recent EMF changes suggest that these difficulties may be
much reduced in Kepler.

Ed, the last line of slide 66 is hidden by a red box.

http://www.slideshare.net/EdWillink/enrich-your-models-with-ocl

what is the code to pass the EValidator to the registar?

Thank you

Regards

OK I guess it was

registrar.register(ePackage, new CompleteOCLEObjectValidator(ePackage,oclUri));

but it says it is deprecated Sad

Although deprecated it works fine. The only thing I don't like is that the whole context, in the wrong dsl, is highlighted as error, not just the wrong token. Is there any way to just highlight it?

If you look at the deprecated implementation, it is

@Deprecated
public CompleteOCLEObjectValidator(@NonNull EPackage ePackage,
@NonNull URI oclURI) {
this(ePackage, oclURI, null);
}

so just add a null to make the message go away. Ideally pass a
pre-existing metaModelManager to avoid loading all your meta-models
redundantly to create another metaModelManager.

Hi

Seems to be an ODP loading issue. The original is fine at
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/ocl/docs/publications/EclipseCon2011Tutorial/EnrichingWithOCL.odp.

Hi

It's only software; I'm sure it's possible....

Realistically, the API for detecting an error needs to be better. It's
probably possible to get Xtext to show a narrower context. However this
won't happen until I have got all the UML and OCL OCL constraints code
generated and being used live.

I don't understand the "wrong dsl" comment. Perhaps you need to share
some screenshots.
