Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to remove an element completely. I
have tried the destroy() - method, but even though it does remove the
element from the root model element, the element is still there, but now
it has become a root element itself. How do I get rid of an element
completely?
In attachment I have added a simple transformation which adds a class
and then removes it again. When you run this with an empty model, you
can see, after running it, that a class is added as root element of the
input file.
Dear regards,
Tony.

woops, forgot to remove the import from the transformation in previous
attachment, in attachment to this message is another version without the
'RoleLib' import.
Dear regards,
Tony.

Hi Tony,
Use model.removeElement(element) which is an operation defined on every
model (instance of modeltype) and is imported from the QVTO Standard
Library.
You actually call UML::Class::destroy() operation which is purely model
specific
and has nothing to do with QVTO.

/Radek

Hi Radek,
Well, I still have a problem then, because I want to remove the element
in a query inside a library and in that library I do not have the model
and I've tried, but I am unable to pass the model as a parameter.
Regards,
Tony.

Tony,
A query should be an operation without side effects and if you need
to modify a model, such a job should be done in a transformation.
To answer your issue, you may pass the model argument as the common
supertype
from the standard library:
helper foo(model : Model)
or
helper foo(model : Stdlib::Model)
The modeltype declaration is sort of private within the declaring module.
Checking for cross module conformance of modeltypes is based on the
referenced
metamodels, for instance when extending transformations.
What could be done in a library is a query that may select candidates for
deletion. The actually removal is better to do in a transformation.
Note, that you are still allowed by the compiler to do this, but better
to follow the rules. Once a stricter check is in place, you will have
easier situation.
Regards,
/Radek

Hi Mariam,
It seems you run your transformation inside a GMF generated editor.
It's very likely that it's just a diagram editor problem which is hard
to answer from any QVTo point only.
Could you please try to execute a corresponding modification done by
plain Java code to isolate the issue?
To my knowledge, there is a specific way to perform domain model update
operations correctly in GMF.

/Radek
