Valid OCL constraint - Validation Error in Editor [message #1775694] Fri, 03 November 2017 14:14 Go to next message

Briefly my Model is defined as follows:
Model - Area - ComponentA - ComponentB
i want to check with an OCL constraint if ComponentA and Component B were definded in the same Area. ComponentB is defined in ComponentA as "target".

I wrote the following OCL constraint in my ecore-Model:

Quote:
invariant checkAreas: oclAsType(ecore::EObject).eContainer().toString() = target.oclAsType(ecore::EObject).eContainer().eContainer().toString();


Now i opened the editor to my created Model and created an example model instance. If i check my constraint in the OCL console, it delivers the expected result for my modeled components.

If i validate my model though, i get a problem caused by the diagnosis of my model:

org.eclipse.ocl.pivot.internal.delegate.OCLDelegateException: The 'Component::checkAreas' constraint result is invalid for 'MyModel::Area::Component'

Hi

EObject is an implementation detail. Prior to Helios M4, EMF automatically modeled all elements as inheriting EObject. Subsequently they do not. This is correct. YOu must explicitly include an EOBject inheritance if you really want it.

Using the Pivot-based OCL, you may use OclElement as the ancestor of all elements.

For your exam[le, you will probably find that oclContainer() (emulating eContainer()) does what you need.

I cannot comment further without a repro.

Thank you very much for you explanations!

My Ocl constraint works now properly with oclContainer():
Quote:
invariant checkAreas: self.oclContainer() = target.oclContainer().oclContainer();


But i do have a question:
If i try to evaluate my constraint on a instance of my model in the OCL console, i get the error, that the operation cannot be found.
If i do the Validation on my model, the constraints work as expected....

OCL console output:
Quote:
self.oclContainer() = source.oclContainer().oclContainer()
Results:
Cannot find operation (oclContainer()) for the type (MyModel)


Thank you in advance!

Hi

Are you using the "Interactive OCL Console" or the "Interactive Xtext OCL Console"? Only the Xtext one supports the new Pivot-based OCL prototyping OCL '2.5' solutions.
