Hi all.
I have a problem building a TCS syntax file for an UML-like metamodel.
Below is a simpler metamodel based on UML 2.1.1 where I replicated the
modelization problem I have: I wonder how to specify the "type"
reference of "Property" instances in a km3 style syntax.
The simplified metamodel:
package LAST {
class Root extends {
reference elements[*] container : Element ;
}
abstract class Element {
attribute name : String;
}
abstract class Type {
}
class Property extends Element {
reference type[0-1] : Type;
}
class Classifier extends Element, Type {
reference properties[*] container : Property;
}
datatype String;
}
Let's take a simple syntax like the one below:
template Root main
: elements ;
template Element abstract ;
template Type abstract ;
template Classifier
: "Classifier" name "{" properties "}" ;
template Property
: "Property" name (isDefined(type) ? ":" type ) ";" ;
then I can textually specify something like:
Classifier caramba {
Property one: Classifier byjove { Property two ; } ;
}
which is correct but not very convenient. I would prefer specifying it
this way
Classifier caramba {
Property one : byjove ;
}
Classifier byjove {
Property two ;
}
in a "km3 style" manner.
So I tried to modify my TCS syntax i.e. add the Classifier template to
and give the "Property" template a different definition:
template Classifier addToContext
: "Classifier" name "{" properties "}" ;
template Property
: "Property" name (isDefined(type) ? ":" type{refersTo = name} ) ";" ;
Indeed, 'I' know that actual instances used as types in my models will
necessarily be "Classifier" instances, hence will have a name. But the
system doesn't and logically complains, underlining the "refersTo =
name" part of the "Property" template, indicating that "There is no
metamodel StructuralFeature corresponding to referredTo property name in
Type".
So my question is: how should I do to reference existing "Classifier"
instances of a given model to bind it to the "type" reference of
"Property" instances, using a TCS template? I can't modify the
metamodel, since the abstract class "Type" is defined this way in UML 2.1.1.
Any ideas?

Antoine Wiedemann
