Hello,
In my target Metamodel YY I have a class that corresponds to the Class
B this class contains an attribute "value" of String type, the problem
is I must put in the attribute "value" the value of references "a"
(references "a" were contains in class A in the source Meta Model)?
Here is an example:
Source Metamodel:
I have three class A, B, C:
* Class B contains "a" to refer Class A
* Class A contains "c" which refer Class C
* Class C contains two awarded "e" and "v"
Target Metamodel:
Class BB contains attribute "value"
Result:
I want to retrieve in "value", the reference "a" because i want to have
the value of "e" and "v" in my Target Model after transformation.
Basically, how to get the value of a reference to put in an attribute
String type?
How to write this transformation?

Hi,
This first point is to be sure that you do not mix up different things.
In ATL, the navigation uses OCL. As a consequence, from the an object of
class B, when you follow the reference a, you get directly the objects a
(of class A) that are related to b by the given link. Therefore,
references cannot be handled. The string value of a reference is a
concept of the serialization (XMI). It is not accessible when model are
in memory.
What I suggest you (because it seems the nearest from your needs) is to
define a helper on the refered class.
helper context XX!A def toMyString() : String =
(define either an attribute which can act as a identifier or a function
returning a String that differs at each call)
Then in the ATL rule,
from ib: XX!B
to ob: YY!BB (
value <- ib.a->collect(e|e.toMyString())->sum
)
Hope this help

I have the same problem!!
I would simplify the exemple:
I have two metamodel MM1 and MM2:
In MM1 which represent the source metamodel: I have a class XX which
contain a reference "x"
In MM2 which represent the target metamodel: I have a class YY which
contain a String attribute "y"
I want to put "x" in "y" after transformation.
I create a helper:
helper context MM1!XX def : myString() : String =
if not self.oclIsUndefined() then
self.myString.x
else
''
endif ;
Then in the rule i wrote:
rule XX2YY{
from e : MM1!XX
to out : MM2!YY(
y<-e.myString()
)
}
