Hello,
I am using EOL to query UML model. I want to know the method that can be used to get the name of the reference of EClass Control flow
for example Control Flow EClass has Target as reference so I want to get the name of that reference which is "Target" not the value of the reference
I tried to use getTarget( ) but it returns the value of the reference not the name of the reference.

Is there any trick to do that.

Thanks,
Taghreed.

Hi Taghreed,

You could use ".eClass()" method to navigate to the EClass of the model element and then access its references using ".eReferences" [1].

Cheers,
Dimitris
