[QVTo] How to use generics defined in EMF Model [message #554311]

Hello,

i use QVTo for my project. I have an ecore file that makes use of generics.

An Example:

class MessageExchange<T> {
attribute T message;
}

Then, i wanted to use QVTo for some model transformation. However, the attribute named message was only of type EJavaObject in QVTo.

Is it possible to work with Generics or do I have to rework my model?

Best regards,
Simon

Hi

The lack of generics is a major failure of UML-alignment in the current
OMG OCL specification and consequently most/all OCL implementations.
There doesn't seem to be an explicit OMG Issue; I'll raise one.

The current rework of MDT/OCL is adding underlying support for generics
which should enable QVTo, Acceleo etc to exploit generics.

It won't be in MDT/OCL till Indigo, and probably not in MDT/OCL's
consumers until Indigo+1.

Regards
