Hi OCL team!
I'm a new user of the QVTO component, and there's a question I have about
their OCL implementation, which I understand, is made by you guys.
I have a comma-separated string and I need to split it. From the spec, I
can see that the operations supported by the String datatype are size(),
concat(), substring(), toInteger() and toReal(), but there's no split()
operation. Is there a way to extend the plug-in to add new operations to
the String datatype? I'm truly illiterate on OCL so I'd be extremely
thankful if you could point me in the right direction. Thank you very much!
-Juan

Hi, Juan,
Yes, there is a way to do this.
Follow the example that adds a "regexMatch" operation to the String type in
the "Customizing the Environment" topic (under "Advanced Topics") in the
OCL SDK's developer guide in the on-line help. This illustrates how to
implement new operations in Java, for cases that would be too difficult or
impossible with OCL.
For operations that can be defined using OCL, the standard def: expression
syntax is supported.
HTH,
Christian

Hi Christian,
Although the what you mention works fine with OCL, currently QVTO which
internally uses the same approach must be extended in a different way.
See news://news.eclipse.org:119/fsap7g$r5a$1@build.eclipse.org

Alex.

Thanks, Alex,
That's good to know. However, your link didn't work for my newsreader; it
gets a "430 No such article" error.
Can you provide a different way to link to this article?
Thanks,
Christian
