Hi All,
I need to create a TupleType with certain structure inside.
I suppose I start from:
org.eclipse.ocl.types.TupleType tupleType =
UMLFactory.eINSTANCE.createTupleType();
and then what?
I cannot find any sensible methods in TupleType interface.
Thanks in advance,
Krzysztof

Hi, Krzysztof,
In order to do this, you will have to know whether you are creating an Ecore
or a UML TupleType, and use the corresponding factories. The generic
org.eclipse.ocl.types.TupleType will be of no use.
The Ecore binding of TupleType (org.eclipse.ocl.ecore.TupleType) extends
EClass, so it can own EStructuralFeatures (which comprise the only
structure that a tuple type can have).
For UML, the org.eclipse.ocl.uml.TupleType extends DataType, so it can own
Propertys.
HTH,
Christian

Thanks.
I suppose it should be serialized somewhere in the model as for
instance BagType?

Hi, Krzysztof,
Yes, you'll want to be sure that your TupleType is serialized someplace
where it can be found when deserializing an OCL AST that references it.
Your Environment's TypeResolver (Environment::getTypeResolver) has a
resolveTupleType(...) method that will ensure it is persisted in the
environment along with the BagTypes and other dynamically-created types.
Say, now that I mention it, it occurs to me that this is a much better
solution than my previous post. The TypeResolver::resolveTupleType method
accepts a list of TypedElements representing the tuple's parts, and will
return an existing tuple type that matches or, if necessary, will create a
new one.
So, all that you really need to do to create your tuple type is to create a
list of Variables with the names and types that you want for your tuple
parts, and use the TypeResolver to get your tuple type.

Hi Christian,
indeed, idea of using TypeResolver is very good but it will not work
for me since I do not use OCL's parser.
Thanks,
