Superclass created when creating subclass [message #1712293] Thu, 22 October 2015 16:50 Go to next message

Hello.

I have a meta-model which has two superclasses and some subclasses of these two.
The superclasses are: Transition and Place
A subclass called Substitution transition inherits from transition
Two subclasses Port and Socket inherits from Place.
I've attached a picture of the whole meta-model.

index.php/fa/23670/0/

Onto the problem: I have a creation tool for each of the classes. I can create Places and Transitions just fine, but when I try to create a Port or a Substitution transition, they are created along with an instance of it's superclass. So when I try to create a Port, I also get a Place. And when i connect an edge to one of them, there are two edges created to each of them. I also cannot delete one without the other.

I have a feeling this comes down to the semantic candidates expression but I have no idea what to put there.

The creation tools for both Port and Place use the same reference name. But since one is a subclass of the other I thought that was how it was supposed to be done.

This is the result when I try to create a Port (the circle with the double outline). The normal circle is the Place I don't want. It also gets the same name I give the Port

This problem is only a "graphical problem" or is your semantic model
also wrong? When you create a Port, 2 semantic elements are created, a
Port and a Place in the semantic model?

Hi Erlend,

Here is an example of project with your problem (if it is a graphical
problem as I think).

The representation "diagramWithSuperTypesKO" has your described problem:
attribute1 is represented in blue, ie EAttribute, AND in light blue, ie
EStructuralFeature that is the superTypes of EAttribute.

I create a second representation "diagramWithSuperTypesOK" that has not
this problem. The difference is on the semantic candidate expression has
you suspect.

Regards,

Laurent

Hi.

It is as you say only a graphical problem. There is only one "Substitution Transition" instance in the business model.

I have tried several variations of what you had put in your semantic candidates expression. The most recent one I tried was
"aql:self.containsTransitions->select(i | i.oclIsTypeOf(SubstitutionTransition))".

What happens is that the element with the custom style I wanted (the double outline) disappears and the normal styled one remains.

The other variants I tried simply had no effect. I'm at a loss for what I'm supposed to put in there now.

EDIT: Disregard this post. I found the right expressions. I forgot to handle the expression on Place as well. Thank you for the help
