Hi
For OMG OCL, yes, since the capability is implied by the UML
specification. However there are gaping chasms between the UML and OCL
specifications, so any useable implementation relies on vendor intuition.
For the new pivot-based Eclipse OCL, quite possibly. The UML support is
primarily for Class Diagram elements, but is kind of extensible in so
far as for unsupported UML elements, 'self' is aligned to the nearest
containing Class. This works for statemachines, and could work for
transitions. Activity diagrams are known to not work.
Regards

Hi
It saves a lot of time to provide rather than hypothesize a model.
