Hi,

I'm having some strange behaviour in QVTo. There is a Class XYZ at the source model, with an Attribute comConfigurationId : Integer.

It's allowed, that it isn't set. If I access this attribute, I just get 0, or the value of it.

For demonstration, the following Code Snippet:
log(self.repr());
if self.comConfigurationId.oclIsUndefined() then {
	log("undefined");
} endif;
if self.comConfigurationId.oclIsInvalid() then {
	log("invalid");
} endif;
if self.comConfigurationId.oclIsNew() then {
	log("new");
} endif;
if self.comConfigurationId.oclIsKindOf(Integer) then {
	log("kind of Integer");
} endif;
if self.comConfigurationId.oclIsTypeOf(Integer) then {
	log("type of Integer");
} endif;


It results in:
...XYZImpl@f3c717 (checksum: <unset>, timestamp: <unset>) (shortName: myXYZInstance, category: <unset>) (comConfigurationId: <unset>, comProcessingPeriod: 100.0, diagnosticAddress: 2, pduRConfigurationId: <unset>, responseAddress: [1234], sleepModeSupported: <unset>, wakeUpOverBusSupported: <unset>)
kind of Integer
type of Integer


But why? Isn't there an easy way, to check, if this item is set or not???

Many thanks,

Josef

Hi Josef,

I am just not sure about your isue:

I expect you are working on Autosar3x, so:

Do you mean something like the following:

We might have an autosar-model, wherein an "ArrayElement" element is defined. Its property "maxNumberOfElements" is of type Integer but may not be set at all. if so, you would like to handel it as if it is set to "0"? (I know it does not make sense for maxNumberOfElements, but this is just meant as an example)

And your problem is that you need a simple way to find out whether the input-property is set at all or not?!


I used for that purpose a check against null, here in pseudo-code :

if (self.property == null) than result.property := 0;
else result.property := self.property;


I am not sure whether this is what your are looking for.

Hi,

thanks for the answer, but it doesn't help.

I try to explain it in a different way.

Input Model -> Output Model
XYZ.someIntegerAttribute = <unset> -> nothing
XYZ.someIntegerAttribute = 0 -> 0
XYZ.someIntegerAttribute = 4711 -> 4711

The current behaviour is
XYZ.someIntegerAttribute = <unset> -> 0
XYZ.someIntegerAttribute = 0 -> 0
XYZ.someIntegerAttribute = 4711 -> 4711

I've to check, if someIntegerAttribute is 0 or <unset>, as there are several side-effects depending on this.

if(XYZ.someIntegerAttribute = null) then {
	log("isnull")
} else {
	log("isnotnull")
} endif;


also results in "isnotnull"

Do you have any other ideas?

Many thanks,

Josef

If I'm interpreting you correctly your problem is with attributes that
have a primitive type but are unsettable? In this situation the
default EMF behaviour is for an eGet to return the default value (which
for integers is 0) and so your transform is not able to detect that the
attribute is unset as its type is an EInt and eGet will only ever
return an int, never null (and QVT doesn't seem to check if it is
unsettable)

My own way to get round this was a bit crude when I had to deal with it
for OCL, in which I used an Extended EvaluationEnvironment with an
additional operation, but the same thing could be done with QVT in a
Java blackbox with something like:

public boolean isSet(EObject obj, String attribute){
EStructuralFeature feature =
obj.eClass().getEStructuralFeature(attribute]);
if (feature==null) return false;
return obj.eIsSet(feature);
}

Then in the QVT you would do:

isSet(XYZ, "someIntegerAttribute)

This should work, not had a chance to actually check the code, but the
same approach works in OCL fine. I'll test it out over the next few
hours during my (long, long) flight

Hi Josef,

oclIsUndefined() does something different - it checks whether the result
is null or is invalid. Other oclXYZ() operations won't help here for
similar reasons.

Try to call EMF's eIsSet like this:
self.eIsSet(a.eClass().getEStructuralFeature('comConfigurati onId'))

HTH,

Many thanks for your replies. I will try them out tomorrow and post my results.

Finally I got it done. My final solution based on your postings Alex and Alan is, many thanks to you.

--needed for the classes
modeltype ECORE uses 'http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore';


--where you want to check it
if self.eIsSet('comConfigurationId') then
	parameterValues += self.comConfigurationId->toValue("bla")
endif;


--helper method
query OclAny::eIsSet(attribute : String) : Boolean {
	if (self.oclAsType(EObject).eIsSet(self.oclAsType(EObject).eClass().getEStructuralFeature(attribute))) then
		return true
	endif;
	return false;
}
