Dear,

In my metamodel I have defined that the meta-class attribute has an "attributeType" datatype as you can see in the following image:
index.php/fa/30338/0/

Now, those attributes are contained in an Entity container. When the Entity container is the target class and I use the following statement: aql:self.attribute.attributeType.oclIsTypeOf(uMLEER::AttributeType::primaryKey), it always returns false, regardless of the attributeType...

I am definitely doing something wrong, although I can't seem to find what it is.

Kind regards,

Sonny

Hi

It is usually better to use oclIsKindOf rather than oclIsTypeOf.

oclIsKindOf tests for type conformance. primaryKey is an enumeration literal.

Hey Ed,

Thank you for your reply. I have tried both actually, and none worked. As you said, this might be due to the fact that primaryKey is an enumeration literal.

For my other tools I just used the statement aql:self.attribute.attributeType=uMLEER::AttributeType::primaryKey, which works fine.

But now, the self is an entity, which can contain multiple attributes, but can only contain one attribute with the type primaryKey. So I made a validation rule that should count how many attributes there are with the datatype primaryKey. If there is more than one, there is an error.

So what I need to know is how i can count how many instances of attribute have the type primaryKey for the self.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Kind regards,
Sonny Selhorst

Hi

The assignment works fine because it is type consistent; enum literal to enum literal.

The type test fails because you are not testing for a type.

Perhaps you want something like ...->selectByKind(uMLEER::Attribute)->select(attributeType = uMLEER::AttributeType::primaryKey)->size()

selectByKind() is a moderately recent OCL addition. Perhaps it is filter() in AQL.

Thank you very much for your answers Ed, your reasoning has helped me identify the problem, I have solved it with the following statement:

aql:self.attribute.attributeType->count(uMLEER::AttributeType::primaryKey)<2

Have a great day!
