Michael,
You can use Element.getValue(Stereotype stereotype, String
propertyName). See:

thanks for your reply,
i mastered to access tagged values with, e.g.
self.getValue(self.getAppliedStereotype('TTSProfile::Service call'), 'service')
this returns (something correct).
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal.impl.ClassImpl@1930ebb (name: Login, visibility: <unset>) (isLeaf:
false, isAbstract: false) (isActive: false)
The return value is again a stereotype - in OCL it is of type OclAny. How can I now access a tagged
value of this returned stereotype?
Or more general, is there a procedure how i can navigate through references stored in tagged values
which are again stereotypes...
thanks,
Michael

Hi, Michael,
If you are using the UMLEnvironmentFactory from the org.eclipse.ocl.uml
plug-in (which I recommend that you do), then you won't have to use the
somewhat awkward (and non-standard) getAppliedStereotypes() and
getValue() API.
OCL sees stereotypes as peers of the UML metaclasses, and accesses them
as such. The advantage of the UML environment implementation is that it
supports navigation of non-navigable association ends, which is how you
access the stereotype instances linked to your model elements.
For example, assuming that you have defined a profile using the default
names for extension ends, in which a stereotype EntityBean extends the
Class metaclass, you can access the bean attributes of some class like
this (with some helper properties defined for convenience):
context Class
def: isEntityBean : Boolean =
self.extension_EntityBean->notEmpty()
def: asEntityBean : EntityBean =
self.extension_EntityBean->any(true)
inv has_pk_mapping:
self.isEntityBean implies self.asEntityBean.primaryKey->notEmpty()
Probably a constraint like that should be defined on the stereotype, but
I hope this shows the idea.
HTH,
Christian
