Irina,

OCL has its own specific newsgroup, so the question is best asked
there. I've added it to the "to" list.

Hi, Irina,

The type of the self.allStateFigures property is, I assume, Set(Vertex).
(correct me if I'm wrong)

Thus, the type of any select expression on this collection will likewise be
Set(Vertex), not Set(PseudoState). The select expression always returns a
collection of the same element type as the source collection. Your second
example

self.allStateFigures->select(oclIsTypeOf(PseudoState)).name

works because Vertex is a kind of NamedElement, thus has a "name" property.

In the case of

self.allStateFigures->select(oclIsTypeOf(PseudoState)).kind

Vertex does not have a "kind" property; this is defined by the PseudoState
metaclass. You need to do the following:

self.allStateFigures->iterate(s; ps : Set(PseudoState) = Set{} |
if s.oclIsTypeOf(PseudoState) then
ps->including(s.oclAsType(PseudoState))
else
ps
endif).kind

Unfortunately, OCL 2.0 does not allow the use of oclAsType() to cast a
collection to another collection type. i.e., you can't just do:

self.allStateFigures->select(
oclIsTypeOf(PseudoState)).oclAsType(Set(PseudoState)).kind

HTH,

Christian
