Dear newsgroup,

I'm trying to define the operation below, but get a ParserException for
wrong parenthesis. Is that really a problem of my OCL or rather a bug
(maybe giving the correct error message if my OCL is really invalid
because of other reasons)?

You find my code below. It is supposed to retrieve the set of all
Interfaces of a BasicComponent "self" via the ProvidedRole class (see
meta model excerpt below) and check whether all Interfaces of a
BasicComponent "o" are included.

helper.setContext(aBasicComponent.eClass());

helper.defineOperation(
"isAlternativeTo(o: BasicComponent): Boolean = " +
"self.providedRoles_InterfaceProvidingEntity" +
"->collect(t | t.providedInterface__ProvidedRole)" +
"->includesAll(o.providedRoles_InterfaceProvidingEntity" +
"->collect(t | t.providedInterface__ProvidedRole))");

The exception:

ParserException: 1:49:1:49 ") unexpected token(s)"
at OCLParser.parseConcreteSyntax(OCLParser.java:747)
at OCLParser.parseInvOrDefCS(OCLParser.java:836)
...

My meta model:

BasicComponent ---- * ProvidedRole ---- 1 Interface

where the associations are named:
BasicComponent to ProvidedRole (1 to n) is named:
providedRoles_InterfaceProvidingEntity

ProvidedRole to Interface (n to 1) is named: providedInterface__ProvidedRole

I am using OCL 2.0 version 1.1.2.v200711262212. Unfortunately, I don't
manage to upgrade to 1.2 due to conflicts with other plugins, but that
is another story.

From what I can see, it seems that there is a problem with how you have
formulated your OCL, and it cannot be parsed. I think there might be an
additional ")", which is causing this problem.

Good luck!

Hi, Anne,

That does look like some kind of bug: the location of the offending
parenthesis suggests that it has nothing to do with the body of the
operation definition. AFAICT, your OCL is well formed.

If you can reproduce this problem with a subset of your metamodel that
you feel you can share as an attachment on a bug, I'd appreciate it.
I'm afraid that I would have to debug this to provide any help :-(

This exception is coming from the concrete-syntax parsing phase, not the
abstract-syntax parsing, so it must be something simple that I'm not
seeing ...

Thanks,

Christian

Dear Christian,

I wanted to provide you with the meta model, but before doing so, tried
to reproduce the bug (in the meantime I had reorganised my plugin code
to do the query without OCL directly traversing the object graph).

And funnily, I cannot reproduce it. Everything works fine. I have no
clue why.

If you still want to have a look, the meta model is included in the
plugin/feature de.uka.ipd.sdq.pcm, available at the update site
http://sdqweb.ipd.uka.de/eclipse/PCM_unstable/ . Unfortunately, I am not
sure which other plugins are required.

Thank you anyway for your help! Lesson learned: Try to do things anew
before giving it up.

If I encounter the bug(?) again, I will make sure to document it better
to be able to report it with the example code.

Kind regards,
Anne Martens
