This question might be too easy or even stupid, but I could not find the
solution. Please give me some hints. Thanks a lot!

To get Stereotype Property values, I know I can use
namedElement1.getValue(stereotype1, property1.getName()); if the type of
property1 is primitive types, e.g., String, Boolean..or Enumeration, there
is no problem. BUT when it is another Stereotype (let's say stereotype2)
and the value of property1 is <<stereotype2>><Class>NamedElement2, the
above method returns only the stereotype2! e.g., it looks like this:
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.DynamicEObjectImpl@30d83d (eClass:
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@1406eb6 (name: stereotype2)
(instanceClassName: null) (abstract: false, interface: false)).
So how could I get the NamedElement2?

Thank you very much for help!

Hi Jerry,

Sorry about the delayed response...
You might want to use UML2Util.getBaseElement() to get the element that the
stereotype is applied to ( I believe that's what you are looking for )

I hope that helps.

.... that's UMLUtil::getBaseElement() ...
...there are other helpful functions like UMLUtil.getStereotype() that will
return a UML stereotype if you pass in the stereotype application
(DynamicEObject).

Cheers,

Hi James,

Thank you so much! I have been trying hard but did not know the correct

Thank you, and I got further questions :(

Object obj1 = namedElement1.getValue(stereotype1, property1.getName());
sometime it returns an EcoreEList$Dynamic<E>
[org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.DynamicEObjectImpl@caf6e7 (eClass:
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@6014f7 (name: ErrorModel)
(instanceClassName: null) (abstract: false, interface: false))]

if check the obj1.getClass().getCanonicalName() -->
returns{org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EcoreEList.Dynamic}

now the baseElement = UMLUtil.getBaseElement((EObject) obj1); get
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EcoreEList$Dynamic

sometimes it works and gives following expected results:
DynamicEObjectImpl [org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.DynamicEObjectImpl@30d83d
(eClass:org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@1406eb6 (name: stereotype2)
(instanceClassName: null) (abstract: false, interface: false))].
and
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal.impl.ClassImpl@10e7c9e (name: Element2,
visibility: <unset>) (isLeaf: false, visibility: public, isAbstract:
false) (isActive: false, isAbstract: false)

Could you please explain what's the reason? Thank you!

I would expect this for a property that is multi-valued.

A list can't be an EObject. I think you need to cast to List and
iterate over the contents.

In this case I assume you've access a property that is single valued is
that yields some type of EObject.

I would assume the difference depends on the multiplicity of the property.

Jerry,

The result would depend on the multiplicity of your stereotype property -
the value of a multivalued reference property will be a list (of dynamic
objects) whereas a the value of a scalar reference property (i.e. with an
upper bound of 1) will be a dynamic object. It only makes sense to pass the
value of a stereotype property to the UMLUtil#getBaseElement(EObject) method
if the value represents the application of another stereotype (i.e. if the
type of the property is another stereotype)...
