| Custom OCL error messages [message #932092] |

Hi.
I implemented some OCL constraints in an EMF model ECORE directly by Java annotations.
But the error messages that the graphical editor generated by this model shows the user ultimately not correctly indicating that the constraint active.
I wonder how to customize the messages that are shown by graphic GMF Editor?
Any idea what I have to study?
Thanks for your time.
Ps. I'm sorry for the english.

Hi Ed Wilink,
firstly thanks for help.
So I studied the links that you showed me.
I tried implement in my EMF Ecore but for custom messages I try do that way:
import ecore_0 : 'http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#/';
package terramegims : _'com.terralab.terramegims' = 'http:///com/terralab/terramegims.ecore'
{
class TGObject { abstract }
{
invariant noDuplicateNames('Names must be uniques.'):
TGObject.allInstances()->forAll(e1| (e1 <> self and e1 <> Jump and e1 <> StateInitial) implies e1.name <> self.name);
attribute name : noInvalidCaracter[1] = 'terramegimsObjectID';
attribute terraMESourceCode : String[1] = '' { readonly };
}
but I don't know why, the editor OCLinEcore is accusing an error.
Isn't to be right?
Do I need install more some plugin in eclipse for to do work?
Thanks for your attention!

Leveraging the topic, I need to formulate an OCL expression that returns me all objects created less of Jump Type and type StateInicial.
An expression that returns all the items I got:
TGObject.allInstances() (TGObject is my Super Class)
Now I need to filter this set returned. I tried to use collect() with reject(), but the compiler Interactive OCL is accusing error, look my expression:
TGObject.allInstances()->collect( i_Object : TGObject | i_Object )->reject(i_Jump: Jump | i_Jump.name <> null) (Jump is a type that I need exclude)
I tried this too
TGObject.allInstances()->reject(e : TGObject | e = (terramegims::Jump))
I got what I wanted with this expression but I think that can bring future errors:
TGObject.allInstances()->select(o: TGObject | o.name <> 'myJump' and o.name <> 'initialState')->forAll(e|e <> self implies e.name <> self.name)
Actualy I don't know is that is rigth. I though in use excludeAll() but all times I tried, the compiler accused error.
So if you can help me to use excludeAll() solve a part of my troubles.
More one time, Thank you attention.

Hi Ed.
Thanks for your time. Look, I migrate my project to Eclipse Juno and
OCL 4.0. So I'm trying to implement custom messages. See a part of my code in OCLinEcore editor:
class Graph
{
annotation _'gmf.diagram'
(
onefile = 'true',
_'diagram.extension' = 'Graph'
);
property nodes : Node[*] { ordered composes };
property edges : Edge[*] { ordered composes };
attribute name : String[?] { ordered };
invariant NoDuplicateEdgeNames('No duplicate edges'):
edges->forAll(e1 : Edge, e2 : Edge | e1 <> e2 implies e1.name <> e2.name);
invariant NoDuplicateNodeNames: nodes->forAll(n1 : Node, n2 : Node | n1 <> n2 implies n1.name <> n2.name);
invariant NoMultiGraphs:
edges->forAll(e1 : Edge, e2 : Edge | e1 <> e2 implies e1.start <> e2.start or e1.end <> e2.end);
invariant NoSameOneNodes: edges->forAll(e1 : Edge, e2 : Edge | e1 = e2 implies e1.start <> e1.end);
}
How you can see, invariant NoDuplicateEdgeNames have a message that should be showed when I validate my gmf editor, and
OCLinEcore editor no complains no error. Through this Ecore model, I generated a gmf diagram editor using Eugenia and
when I valid appears the message: The 'NoDuplicateEdgeNames' constraint is violated on '<Graph>' (standard message).
So my doubt is: Do I have to implement more something for the custom message work?
Do I have implement something in CompletOCl?
If you can help me I thank you very much.
Thanks for all and I'm sorry about the English.
Best regards.

Building on this topic, I am working on customizing messages displayed by ocl, my expression must return null for that then appears an error rather than a warming, look at my expression:
TGObject.allInstances () -> select (o: TGObject | o.name <> 'myJump' and o.name <> 'initialState') -> forall (e: TGObject | e <> self implies if e.name <> self.name then true else null endif)
I tried to return null when the expression is the same two names return null, but I tested with a dynamic instance and the result is an expression of oclInvalid and thus the restriction does not work properly.
Any idea how to make this expression returns null?
Thankful.
Sorry for the english.

I think I understand.
But, can you give me some example?
In my model encore all classes inherit from class TGObject that possesses the attribute name. I need to make the diagram GMF no element has the same name as another.
Watch an excerpt of the model:
import ecore : 'http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#/';
package terramegims : _'com.terralab.terramegims' = 'http:///com/terralab/terramegims.ecore'
{
abstract class TGObject
{
attribute name : noInvalidCaracter = 'terramegimsObjectID' { ordered };
attribute terraMESourceCode : String = '' { ordered readonly };
invariant noDuplicateNames: TGObject.allInstances()->forAll(e : TGObject | e <> self implies e.name <> self.name);
}
abstract class TGModel extends TGObject;
abstract class TGAbstractFunction extends TGObject
{
property variables : TGVariable[*] { ordered composes !resolve };
attribute body : String = '' { ordered };
}
abstract class TGAbstractAutomaton extends TGModel
{
property variables : TGVariable[*] { ordered composes !resolve };
property functions : TGFunction[*] { ordered composes !resolve };
property initialState : StateInitial { ordered composes !resolve };
property states : State[*] { ordered composes !resolve };
property trajectories : Trajectory[*] { ordered composes !resolve };
}
abstract class TGAbstractNeighborhood extends TGObject
{
property cellularSpace#neighborhoods : CellularSpace { ordered };
}
class TGVariable extends TGObject
{
attribute value : String = '' { ordered };
}
class TGParameter extends TGVariable;
class TGFunction extends TGAbstractFunction
{
property parameters : TGParameter[*] { ordered composes !resolve };
attribute parameters_str : String { ordered };
}
class TGFunctionMain extends TGAbstractFunction;
abstract class TGRule extends TGObject
{
attribute rule : String = '' { ordered };
}
class TGApplication extends TGObject
{
property variables : TGVariable[*] { ordered composes !resolve };
property functions : TGFunction[*] { ordered composes !resolve };
property environment : Environment[?] { ordered composes !resolve };
property main : TGFunctionMain { ordered composes !resolve };
}
If you can explain to me how it would be another way other than with the allinstances I appreciate it.
Thanks again and sorry for the english.

I'm trying to formulate a new expression to validate the duplication of names in my GMF editor without using the term in allinstances Class TGObject. Noting that I can only create elements within the class TGApplication, I'm trying to formulate an expression within that class to do this validation. But I can not see a way to go all "children" of TGApplication without using the term in allinstances Class TGObject. For example if I do this:
self.main-> select (self.name = main.name)
where self refers to class TGOApplication, I can retrieve all mains which has the same element name TGApplication, but so would be impractical to make such an expression for each element once I create 7 types of different elements within these elements can create new elements and therefore could not make as many combinations as well.
The expression that I had shown him:
TGObject.allInstances () -> select (o: TGObject | o.name <> 'myJump' and o.name <> 'initialState') -> forall (e | e <> self implies e.name <> self.name )
that previously I have changed the Validation class to be able to customize ocl messages present in my ecore model:
//import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EObjectValidator;
import org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.oclinecore.validation.OCLinEcoreEObjectValidator;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.type.util.XMLTypeUtil;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.type.util.XMLTypeValidator;
/**
* <!-- begin-user-doc -->
* The <b>Validator</b> for the model.
* <!-- end-user-doc -->
* @see com.terralab.terramegims.TerramegimsPackage
* @generated NOT MODIFIED
*/
public class TerramegimsValidator extends OCLinEcoreEObjectValidator {
no longer works after I made this change. When she will be evolved into my graphics editor, an exception occurs:
An exception occurred while delegating evaluation of the 'noDuplicateNames' constraint on 'tgimsapp :: main': OCL validation result of 'TGObject :: noDuplicateNames' is invalid for 'Class TGObject'
and I googled and could not understand why the restriction that no longer works.
I really need to learn this. If you have some material that I can study and can send me I am very grateful. I'm not wanting a ready answer, if I have the right tools for sure that I will study and be able to do. The problem is that here in Brazil almost nobody works with this type of tool and there is hard to find material.
Thank you very much for your help so far and sorry for the inconvenience.
Sorry for the english.
Best regards.

I'm back. The fact is that I have tried in various ways to solve my problem myself, but I really could not.
My problem is this, I will detail as much as possible, I want to make clear that I am beginner with OCL and so I'm asking for help:
I implemented a graphical editor using GMF from an EMF model ECORE.
Now I'm implementing restrictions directly on my model ECORE to be able to restrict certain user actions to build the model of it in my editor. I managed to make 4 restrictions that I wanted and they are working perfectly. There is a need to implement that last and had already implemented on an older version of OCL and that was solving my problem. But as the need to customize error messages, I changed to version 4.0 of the OCL and this restriction is now generating an exception.
For you to understand better, I attached a file with pictures of bugs and my model ECORE and then I'll explain the situation by naming the images ok:
The picture1 is an overview of my Model ECORE especially noDuplicateName restriction, which is the restriction that is giving problem. This same restriction was working before I migrate to 4.0 and OCL appear this address
http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL/Pivot
which was previously being:
http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL
Picture2 shows the exception being generated to validate my model.
I would like to understand why I can not use the allinstances Class TGObject and also build'm not getting any restriction that is in that same class TGObject exception is thrown. I tried to create this restriction TGApplication in class, but still gives the same error.
I tested this restriction with a dynamic instance of TGApplication Interactive OCL Console in there and got true when there is no name for repeated false and when there was. This does not mean that the restriction is working?
Picture3 shows a further meta model that is part of the model in figure 1, but only to the diagram that is the outermost TGApplication. I was using that meta-model for building graphical editors using GMF framework Eugenia. So I used a more simplified meta-model. As you can see in Picture4, the restriction is that it created for the other model in this case it works. This led me questions, because this is a sub-model of the model shown in Figure 1 and thus, should not throw the same restriction?
I tried to do in other ways, but for example I can not see how to find the same names in a set, since that would be used a function that caught each set and compare with everyone else. I could not create this function and do not know if it is possible to create recursive functions in OCL, is it possible?
For example, I know that expression:
TGObject.allInstances () -> collect (name)
returns me all the names on my editor. In conjunction with all the names I could see if there are the same names.
Another question I have is what happens when a restriction, my editor GMF brand elements involved in this breach with an error symbol and then, in my case I necessarily need an expression that returns true or false, that my editor knew GMF exactly where the breach occurred and could mark the elements involved. Otherwise it would be a general context editor and mark all elements and it would be impossible for me.
I know I'm being persistent and perhaps I will be encomodando. But persistence is that we learn to be more capable. I think it costs nothing to help if you know how to solve my problem and this will be a great help to me, even seeming something so insignificant.
I thank you now and if you need any more information to help me and are willing to tell me this can here anytime we will answer soon.
I ask again apologize for the inconvenience.
Sorry also for English.
