Hi,
I use ATL for UML model transformations. In my case study, I need to
transform a UML model in which some OCL constraints must parametrized the
transformation execution. In other words, I need to check those
constraints during the transformation execution.
Does it exist a way to call OCL queries during an ATL transformation
execution ?
Of course, their syntaxes should be conformed to the OCL implementation of
ATL.

Hi again,
I have just noticed Dennis'message, in which he also suggested the HOT
approach :-).

Thanks a lot for your answer.
In fact, I have implemented a third solution. I have forked the uml24atl
driver.This new driver is called ocluml24atl. It provides a new
operation named checkConstraint() which call the emf.ocl.validator. This
plugin parses the constraint body by itself and evaluates the
constraint. In my case OCL constraints are only invariants. Hence, that
new ATL VM operation returns a boolean. I can check OCL invariant
constraints stored in my input UML model during the ATL transformation
execution. It's certainly not the best solution but It works fine.
Anyway, I am interresting to improve my solution. I am prototyping a
tool in which several ATL transformations are aleady chained. I can add
a new transformation from UML to ATL (the HOT transformation that you
mentioned). Nevertheless, body of OCL constraints in UML models are
strings. Hence I have to inject (with TCS for example) that strings to a
model conforms to an OCL metamodel (The ATL one for example) and at last
to execute the HOT transformation.
Does it already exist such TCS OCL injector in the ATL toolkit ?
What is the String.inject() operation that you mentionned ?
I don't find any documentation on the ATL manual. I maybe miss something.
Regards,
Frédéric

Hi,
You can find more information about String.inject(...) at:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.m2m/m sg00673.html
Let us know if we can help you further in improving your solution.

Dear Frédéric,
> Does it already exist such TCS OCL injector in the ATL toolkit ?
Yes, there is OCL TCS injector, but it is not part of the ATL toolkit,
you can find it here:
http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/atlTransformations/#OCL2SWRL
You should know also that it have some constraints, e.g., now it only
parse invariants, etc.
