Hi, Bernd,
This OCL constraint provider is simply an example. Your own provider
can do whatever it likes, reading different OCL files for different
purposes. All that the Validation Framework requires is that your
provider supply it with the appropriate live-mode constraints
("appropriateness" being defined by your provider) when asked for live
constraints.
I didn't understand your statement about context. Do you mean that you
need live validation to be triggered for different objects than the ones
that were changed during the interval?
Cheers,
Christian

Hi, Bernd,
The validator will always request constraints only for the objects that
actually changed.
You can implement a listener (on the command stack,
TransactionalEditingDomain, or whatever is appropriate) to detect when
an object of that kind has changed, and perform a batch validation over
your root object.
Or, you can define a live-mode constraint that targets the EClass in
question and implement it, in Java, to perform validation on the root
element (effectively, a nested validation operation). The result status
can be return by your constraint as is, because we support
multi-statuses. Your constraint can use the
IValidationContext::{put,get}ConstraintData(...) API to put a token that
it can check to prevent multiple invocations of the constraint in a
validation operation from repeating the nested validation.
HTH,
Christian
