OCL can not match operation and argument types if argument is EClass [message #65346] Fri, 12 December 2008 18:20 Go to next message

Hello,

I experimented with OCL over Ecore diagram and found strange behavior (error
from my point of view).
As you know notation::Node.element refers to model element and for Ecore
diagram it could be EClass.
I would like to know - which super classes of this class there are on
diagram.

I wrote query:
notation::Node.allInstances()->select(
a : notation::Node | not a.element.oclIsUndefined() ).element->
inttersection(self.element.oclAsType(ecore::EClass).eSuperTy pes- >asBag())

and found error: Cannot find operation (inttersection(Bag(EClass))) for the
type (Bag(EObject))

After investigation I found that if argument is EClass OCL use as type of
argument _not_ argument.eClass() but argument itself and can not match
operation and argument types.

Look like problem in UMLReflection.getOCLType(Object metaElement)

Best regards
Kirill A. Balod

Hi, Kirill,

I'm not so sure about that. The error message that you are getting is
that the Bag(EObject) type does not have an operation
intersection(Bag(EClass)). I would expect this parse error because
Bag(EObject) defines only intersection(Bag(EObject)).

You can, instead, reverse the intersection thus:

self.element.oclAsType(ecore::EClass).eSuperTypes->asBag()- >
intersection(notation::Node.allInstances()->select(
a : notation::Node | not a.element.oclIsUndefined() ).element)

because the Bag(EClass) type can do intersection(Bag(EObject)), as
Bag(EClass) conforms to Bag(EObject).

For example, in an Ecore editor, if I select an EClass and do this in
the OCL Console:

self.eSuperTypes->asBag()->intersection(EReference.allInstances().eType)

I get this error:

Cannot find operation (intersection(Bag(EClassifier))) for the type
(Bag(EClass))

but if I do this, instead:

EReference.allInstances().eType->intersection(self.eSuperTypes- >asBag())

then all is well.

HTH,

Christian

Hi, again, Kirill,

Sorry, I seem to have got myself turned backwards this Friday afternoon.

Your formulation of the expression should be OK. The inverse would be
invalid.

I do notice that the snippet you pasted has two ts in the word
'inttersection.' Could that be the problem?

When I use 'intersection', the expression parses successfully for me in
the Interactive OCL Console.

Cheers,

Christian

I'm so so sorry.

It is my double mistake.
The first - the name 'inttersection.' in my example and the second in my
code
Helper helper =
auxGetOcl().createOCLHelper();helper.setContext(getContextEC lass());

Ups..
Previous mail is incomplete...

so problem was in my function getContextEClass()

Thanks a lot for your replies.
Sorry one more..

Kirill
