multiple 'primitive types' [message #5342] Tue, 13 February 2007 19:36 Go to next message

I noticed that there two families of primitive types defined in OCL for
UML2: one in ocl-uml::types (PrimitiveInteger, PrimitiveBoolean, etc)
and another in oclstdlib (Integer, Boolean, etc).

Is this something mandated by the UML/OCL specs? If not, what is the
rationale behind this design decision (IOW: what is each group for)?

Thanks!

Hi, Rafael,

Where do you find the ocl-uml::types package? As far as I can see in the
org.eclipse.ocl.uml package, the only primitive types that are defined are
those in the oclstdlib.uml library model. OCL only defines the
PrimitiveType metaclass, of which the oclstdlib Integer, Boolean, etc. are
instances.

Which build do you have?

Cheers,

Christian

Hi Christian,

I have build I200702011837. The model containing the ocl-uml::types
package is OCLUML.uml (in org.eclipse.ocl.uml_1.1.0.v200702011837.jar).

So should I just ignore that file?

Thanks,

Rafael

Hi, Rafael,

I think I know what has happened. That I-build has a version of the
OCLUML.uml that isn't yet ready for consumption. The latest available OCL
build has an OCLUML.uml that corresponds better with OCLUML.ecore.

However, I learned just yesterday that the Ecore-to-UML mapping for EMF
2.3's generics is in doubt, so probably the latest OCLUML.uml isn't
actually a valid UML model (it is generated from the OCLUML.ecore; in M6 I
plan to do it the other way around). So, depending on how you are using
it, you may want to take care for now.

HTH,

Christian
