Hi,

I created a metamodel consisting of a class called Population which contains a number of Users, Items and Matches.

The model is expected to hold Users and Items at first. Matches should be generated by the following transformation.

modeltype RZH uses Ruilen('http://ruilenzonderhuilen.com');

transformation GenerateMatches(inout mdl: RZH);

main() {
	log('size:',  mdl->objectsOfType(Population)->size());
	log('size:',  mdl->objects()[Population]->size());
	log('size:',  mdl.objectsOfType(Population)->size());
	log('size:',  mdl.objects()[Population]->size());
	log('mdl', mdl);
	mdl.objectsOfType(RZH::Population).map genMatches();
}

helper createMatch(in usr1: User, in usr2: User) : Match
{
	log('Creating Match of ' + usr1.id + ' and' + usr2.id);
	return object Match {
		u1 := usr1;
		u2 := usr2;
	}
}

mapping inout Population::genMatches() : Population {
	init {
		self.matches := Set{};
	}
	population {
		log('Generating matches');
		self.matches := self.users -> collect(u1 | self.users->collect(u2 | createMatch(u1, u2)))
	}
}


I'm having troubles understanding the behavior of the objects[], objectsOfType with and without combinations of '.' and '->'.

The model I use for testing consists of one (root) instance of Population (with a number of Users). When I run the transformation, it prints:

size:, data: 1
size:, data: 0
size:, data: 0
size:, data: 0
mdl, data: RZH - http://ruilenzonderhuilen.com

Somehow, the genMatches mapping isn't invoked at all. What am I doing wrong?

Greetings,
Wilbert.

Hi Wilbert

"Somehow, the genMatches mapping isn't invoked at all. What am I doing
wrong? "

You're not using the one you found worked.

One day the specification may make the following more explicit:

object . feature => object navigation
collection -> feature => collection navigation

collection . feature => collection -> collect( feature )
object -> feature => object . oclAsSet() -> feature

OclAny::oclAsSet() => Set{ self }
OclVoid::oclAsSet() => Set{}
OclInvalid::oclAsSet() => invalid

Regards

Ed Willink

Hi Edward,

Thanks for the explanation.

Actually the problem turned out to be something different. As I tried to deploy the metamodel in my development eclipse instance, I ended up having two versions of the meta model present: one as a plugin and one as a project. Removing the plugin (which I installed in the dropins directory) and keeping the one in the workspace solved the problem. My transformation was correct after all.

Greetings,
Wilbert.
