Abstraction, mapping reference is typed OpaqueExpression and not Expression [message #503150] Fri, 11 December 2009 08:01 Go to next message

In Eclipse UML Ecore file, the Abstraction EClass contains an Ereference named mapping typed OpaqueExpression.

In omg uml specification the Meta class Abstraction contains an attribute mapping typed Expression.

OpaqueExpression in Eclipse UML API doesn't inherits from Expression. So I don't understand why OpaqueExpression is used.

Is it normal? Why this type has been chosen ?

Hi Tristan,

You make a good point. To be honest, I'm not sure why it was implemented
this way. Could you log a defect on this so we don't loose track of this
one.
Thanks

There seems to be an inconsistency in the spec.

Figure 7.15 on page 35 of 07-020-05 indicates the type of 'mapping' to be
OpaqueExpression, whereas the text later on states it should be
"Expression".

Cheers,

- James.
