hello,
We have some problems with Atl transformations.
We use this helper and rule:
helper context String def: firstToLower() : String =
self.substring(1, 1).toLower() + self.substring(2, self.size());
....
rule Route2Menu {
from
a : ExtendedSlicesMetamodel!Route_Type
to
b : ExtendedNavigationMetamodel!Menu_Type (
Forward <- a.Name_Route.firstToLower()
)
}
Name_Route is an attribute of the class Menu_Type (this attribute is
inherit from an abstract father class) . When we use this helper(
firstToLower) in the rule, this error occurs:
****** BEGIN Stack Trace
message: ERROR: could not find operation firstToLower on Sequence(OclAny)
having supertypes: [Collection(OclAny)]
A.main() : ??#24 null
local variables = {self=tres2cuatro : ASMModule}
local stack = []
A.__exec__() : ??#8 null
local variables = {e=TransientLink {rule = 'Route2Menu', sourceElements =
{a = IN!<unnamed>}, targetElements = {b = OUT!<unnamed>}, variables = {}},
self=tres2cuatro : ASMModule}
local stack = []
A.__applyRoute2Menu(1 : NTransientLink;) : ??#13 59:36-59:63
local variables = {b=OUT!<unnamed>, a=IN!<unnamed>, link=TransientLink
{rule = 'Route2Menu', sourceElements = {a = IN!<unnamed>}, targetElements
= {b = OUT!<unnamed>}, variables = {}}, self=tres2cuatro : ASMModule}
local stack = [OUT!<unnamed>, OUT!<unnamed>, tres2cuatro : ASMModule]
****** END Stack Trace
Execution terminated due to error (see launch configuration to allow
continuation after errors).
thanks.
best regards,
Angel Sanchez, David Redondo

Hello,
It seems that the upper bound of the multiplicity of attribute
Name_Route is greater than 1 (i.e., that Name_Route is multi-valued),
which means that its value is a Collection of Strings.
If Forward is also multi-valued, you might want to write:
Forward <- a.Name_Route->collect(e | e.firstToLower())
If Forward is not multi-valued, you might want to:
- get the first element of the Collection (if it is ordered):
Forward <- a.Name_Route->first().firstToLower()
- get any element of the Collection:
Forward <- a.Name_Route->any(e | true).firstToLower()
- concatenate the values of the Collection:
Forward <- a.Name_Route->including('')->sum().firstToLower())
->including('') makes sure the Collection is not empty, in which case
->sum() would fail to return a String.
Best regards,
Frédéric Jouault

According to the error message, the attribute Name_Route is not a String
but a Sequence (of String ?).
What is the multiplicity of this attribute (reference ?) in your KM3
metamodel ?
If you really want a Sequence, you can applied your helper on the first
element (a.Name_Route->first().firstToLower()). You may ensure that the
sequence can not be empty (using a if statement) or the first() function
will return an error.
