0 record(s) found in EMF ODA data set "Preview Results"... [message #1706052]

Hi all,

I define OCL queries in EMF ODA data sets used to produce BIRT reports.
When I define the following settings :
>Context : Root
>Query Text : self.getAElements.getBElements........getYElements.getZElements
>Result type : Z
The "Preview Results" tab works fine and returns details for each Z element.

Whereas, with the following settings :
>Context : Y
>Query Text : self.getZElements
>Result Type : Z
Preview returns '0 record(s) found'.

Specifying 'OCL' or 'OCL/LPG' as query delegate makes no difference.
There is also no difference in the properties of 'getYElements' and 'getZElements' ereferences neither in .ecore nor in .genmodel...

Any idea why this happens ?

Kind regards,

Laurent

Hi again,

I should add that self.getZElements.Name='MyName' is considered as valid by the interactive OCL query parser even if the preview returns no record.

Whereas, self.getAElements.getBElements........getYElements.getZElements.Name='MyName' is rejected with the following message : Cannot find operation (=(String)) for the type (Sequence(String)).

So, using a 'lengthy' query is a non-viable workaround...

Hi

I am not familiar with this usage of OCL, but it all looks very odd.

I would expect to see either "AElement" using the model, or
"getAElements()" using the Java API. But since you provide no repro that
is just a guess.

I would expect to see "->" rather than "." for collection navigation.

I don't understand the "Context". You seem to descrivbe an interactive
input. I might expect the cursor se;lection to tell you what the context is.

Similarly I might expect the "Result" to be output rather than input.

If you want help you need to provide a very accurate repro:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/OCL/ForumNetiquette

I strongly recommend that you practice your queries in the OCL Console
after loading your model with the Sample Reflective Ecore Editor,

Regards

Hi Ed,

I was indeed describing the EMF ODA Data Set wizard.
Meanwhile, I found what the problem was.

The EMF ODA driver uses a connection and issues OCL queries against a CDO repository.
The query object - at some point - looks for all intances of a certain EClass type in a resource set.
If the requested EClass is part of a resource not belonging to the resource set, nothing is found...

As I do not want to register all my (CDO) resources in the resource set and then traverse the whole repository to find the occurrences I am interested in, I finally choose to override this behavior in Query.getAllObjectsByType to issue an internal OCL query corresponding to this search; hoping the internal implementation will be more efficient.

Regards,

Laurent
