Ed,
Thanks for the response. I should have elaborated.
I have simply created an ecore model, generated the code, and run the
generated editor. I have also included the OCL Interpreter that
Christian wrote.
Within the OCLConsolePage, there is an input window (SourceViewer) and
an output window (Read-only TextViewer).
When I enter a valid OCL expression and hit Enter, the OCL expression is
parsed and evaluated, and the results are outputted in the TextViewer.
There is a button to save the OCL Expression (lastExpression variable)
to the default persistence mechanism, an XMI file. After I select the
file location, the Error dialog pops up. I have tried many expressions
such as:
self.title
self.question->size() > 1
which are valid OCL expressions.
My understanding is that the OCL expression that I enter is parsed into
the AST (OCL is an ecore model), and that this AST structure is
persisted, just like any ecore model.
Thanks for the heads up about an EList's uniqueness constraint.
It is interesting that Christian put this comment in his code:
// add my expression as the first root, because I already contain
// variables and EPackages defining dynamically-generated types
getContents().add(0, expr);
When I debug, it seems that getContents() already has 3 strucutres in
it. Do you know why? Typically when I save an instance of an ecore
model that I have created it is the only strucutre in the file. The EMF
book also says to use this code to do
getContents().add(expr)
I presume that OCL has some special requirements and that is why
there are already 3 structures. Any ideas here?
When I modify the code to
getContents().add(expr)
I don't get the error, but the OCL expression can not be loaded from the
file.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Richard Catlin

I tried this on the EXTLibrary example and get the same error for simple
OCL expressions.
1. I installed eclipse-modeling-galileo-incubation-win32.zip
2. I start and switch to the Plug-in Development Perspective
3. I switch to the Plugins tab and import as source
org.eclipse.emf.ocl.examples
4. I then Import "Existing Projects into Workspace" for each of the zip
files: interpreter.zip, library.zip, libraryEdit.zip, and
libraryEditor.zip and get four projects that build properly.
5. I run the Editor project, which launches an Eclipse Runtime.
6. I create a new EMF Project, and then create an EXTLibrary Model.
7. In the Editor, I add a Library Child and give it a name.
8. I right-click on the Library Node, and start the OCL Interpreter.
9. In the bottom pane (the SourceViewer), I enter: name and then hit
enter. In the TextViewer pane, I see the Results with the correct
information for the name displayed.
10. I want to save this OCL Expression to an xmi file and click on the
Save button. I select a directory and create a new file name. When I
hit OK, I get the ERROR dialog:
OCLConsole Saving Error: The 'no duplicates' constraint is violated
Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Richard
No you're doing nothing wrong.
Thank you for the clear repro.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289660 raised.
There is a good chance that deleting the
res.setOCLExpression(parsed);
at line 135 of OCLResource will cure the problem.
---
When OCL is persisted there are a variety of orphan elements. For a
complete OCL model this may just be any collection tyupe declarations.
For a partial model your example needs a self variable. FOr some reason
two (no-duplicate) self variables are persisted.
In general it is a responsibility of the OCL AST consumer to resolve the
orphans. THe OCL interpreter does this by placing them all at the root.
---
Step 4: New->Example->OCL Plugins->OCL Interpreter does this in one hit.
Regards
Ed Willink
