Juno: Parsing OCL in Guards [message #912929]

Hi all,

Sorry if this is question has an obvious answer but I'm new to EMF/OCL and googling my issue didn't really help.

I'm developing a standalone application that loads a .uml model using the UML2 lib of Juno. This works as expected. My next step is to parse all OCL expressions inside OpaqueExpressions (OEs) of the model. Therefore I use Model Query to retrieve a list of OEs and try to setup an OCLHelper to parse the OCL body of the OE. Now it turns out that my OEs are inside guards of transitions and according to http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/209674/ the OCL framework did not support parsing these kinds of OCL expressions, if I understood correctly. So I'm wondering whether this is still an issue and - if not - how I can parse the OCL found in an OpaqueExpression of a guard.

Thanks,
Willibald Krenn

Hi

Improving UML support, particularly within Papyrus, is current work in
progress.

In principle they should all be parsed for you just by invoking

org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.OCL.um2pivot(UMLREsource) which creates a
unified UML/OCL meta-model suitable for run-time usage. You will then
find ExpressionInOCL rather than OpaqueExpression.

Thanks for your quick answer. Unfortunately I cannot find any method starting with "um*" on org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.OCL. Any other ideas?

Regards,
Willibald

Hi

It's current work in progress so you need to use the Kepler M1 release
of a N-build or GIT.
