Hi, i would like to create a query that associates 3 different kind of elements into a set. In practice i would like to do a cast of every type to transform these in UseCaseModelElement, that is a class (of an ecore diagram) common to every type of every ecore i'm working with. Is it possible?
The query is this:
[query public doublefunc(u:UseCase):Set(UseCaseModelElement)=
u.specification.eContents(BasicFlow).eContents(SimpleSentenc e).pattern
->select(oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjVActorDOObjPPComplt)or oclIsTypeOf(SV)or oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjLVSubjAdjPComplt)or
oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjVDO)or oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjVDOObjIngParticipleComplt)or oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjV))
.siblings(Predicate)->union(
u.specification.eContents(BasicFlow).eContents(SimpleSentenc e).pattern
->select(oclIsTypeOf(ActorSubjVDO)or oclIsTypeOf(ActorSubjVDOObjPPComplt)or oclIsTypeOf(SVIODO))
.siblings(Predicate).eContents(DirectObject)->union(
u.specification.eContents(BasicFlow).eContents(SimpleSentenc e).pattern
->select(oclIsTypeOf(SLVSubjAdjPComplt)or oclIsTypeOf(SVDOObjEdParticipleComplt)or
oclIsTypeOf(SVDO)).siblings(SimpleSentence)->select(oclIsKindOf(UseCaseModelElement))
))->asSet()/]

Sorry for my poor english and thank you in advance.

Hi,

I' think you can cast using oclAsType

oclAsType ( typespec : Classifier ) : T

Returns self statically typed as typespec if it is an instance of this type. Note that this does not alter the runtime value of self, it only enables access to subtype operations. This operation allows users to cast self to another type.

examples:
Expression Result
aPerson.oclAsType(Employee) an object of Employee type


http:// help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.acceleo .doc/doc/html/acceleo_operation_reference.html


in your query:

[query public
...
->select(oclIsTypeOf(SLVSubjAdjPComplt)or oclIsTypeOf(SVDOObjEdParticipleComplt)or
oclIsTypeOf(SVDO)).siblings(SimpleSentence)->select(oclIsKindOf(UseCaseModelElement))
)).oclAsType(UseCaseModelElement) ->asSet()
/]

Best regards

Hi,

How can you even read this?

I know OCL isn't the best language for readability purposes ... but you
have to try and make your generation modules easy to read : think
maintenance :).

You don't have any superclass of the many subtypes you're tring to get here?

-----
oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjVActorDOObjPPComplt) or oclIsTypeOf(SV) or
oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjLVSubjAdjPComplt) or oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjVDO) or
oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjVDOObjIngParticipleComplt) or oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjV)
-----

strike me as something that should be changed to something like

-----
oclIsKindOf(MySuperType)
-----

if your metamodel allows for it. If it does not, at least extract this
into a subquery. Other than that, try and use meaningful variable names
(single-letter names are hard to decode). Something like this should be
equivalent to your long example :

-----
[query public doublefunc(useCase : UseCase) : Set(UseCaseModelElement) =
let allPatterns : Sequence(UseCaseModelElement) =
useCase.specification.eContents(BasicFlow).eContents(SimpleS entence).pattern
in
allPatterns->select(isRelevantSysPattern()).siblings(Predicate)- >
union(
allPatterns-> select(isRelevantActorPattern()).siblings(Predicate).eConten ts(DirectObject))- >
union(
allPatterns->select(isRelevantPattern()).siblings(SimpleSentence)- >filter(UseCaseModelElement))->asSet()
/]

[query private isRelevantSysPattern(pattern : UseCaseModelElement) :
boolean =
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjVActorDOObjPPComplt) or
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SV) or
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjLVSubjAdjPComplt) or
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjVDO) or
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjVDOObjIngParticipleComplt) or
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SysSubjV)
/]

[query private isRelevantActorPattern(pattern : UseCaseModelElement) :
boolean =
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(ActorSubjVDO) or
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(ActorSubjVDOObjPPComplt) or
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SVIODO)
/]

[query private isRelevantPattern(pattern : UseCaseModelElement) : boolean =
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SLVSubjAdjPComplt) or
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SVDOObjEdParticipleComplt) or
pattern.oclIsTypeOf(SVDO)
/]
-----

This expects that your "SimpleSentence.pattern" call returns a Sequence
of UseCaseModelElement, that the " siblings(Predicate)" that were lying
here and there are indeed ".siblings..." and that all of these elements
are indeed subtypes of UseCaseModelElement.

When that is done, you can call "doublefunc" to retrieve the set, and
cast its content if needed through either
"->filter(UseCaseModelElement)" (removes from the list everything that
is not an instance of UseCaseModelElement, and casts the result in a
list of the appropriate type) or ".oclAsType(UseCaseModelElement)"
(casts each element individually).

Hi Laurent

Unfortunately OCL does just that.

oclAsType(Collection(UseCaseModelElement))

is not in OCL 2.2. It is specified by the resolution of Issue 14585 for
OCL 2.3. It is in the Eclipse OCL 3.1 Examples.

For now in OCL you have to use a select iteration to allow each element
to be cast individually. So use Acceleo's filter.
