Hi

When trying to realize a transformation from a meta-model PIMM to a meta-model PSMM, I've encoutred two difficulties:

1- how can I include and use primitivetypes in an ATL rule?

2- is there a general type (like Object in UML) that I can use in an ATL rule?


for the first question, I've done as follow :
----------------------


helper def : primitiveTypesPackage : PSMM!Package = OclUndefined;

--- I've created a package of primitivetypes

rule addPrimitiveTypesPackage() {
to
ptPac : PSMM!Package (
name <- 'PrimitiveTypes'
),

stringType : PSMM!PrimitiveType (-- -> (thisModule.primitiveTypesPackage.classifiers)(
name <- 'String'
),
integerType : PSMM!PrimitiveType (-- -> (thisModule.primitiveTypesPackage.classifiers)(
name <- 'Integer'
),
booleanType : PSMM!PrimitiveType (-- -> (thisModule.primitiveTypesPackage.classifiers)(
name <- 'Boolean'
),
commentType : PSMM!PrimitiveType (-- -> (thisModule.primitiveTypesPackage.classifiers)(
name <- 'Real'
),

do {
stringType.package <- thisModule.primitiveTypesPackage;
integerType.package <- thisModule.primitiveTypesPackage;
booleanType.package <- thisModule.primitiveTypesPackage;
commentType.package <- thisModule.primitiveTypesPackage;
}

}


--- And I've used them like this :

helper def : getPrimitiveType(typeName : String) : PSMM!PrimitiveType = PSMM!PrimitiveType.allInstances()->select(t | t.name=typeName)->first();

rule createProperties() {
to
prop: PSMM!Property(
name <- 'itsGroup',
lower <- 1,
upper <- 1,
visibility <- #public,
type <- thisModule.getPrimitiveType('String')
),

...

}

Is this correct? and how Can I indicate the following pathmaps:

'String' -> 'pathmap://UML_LIBRARIES/UMLPrimitiveTypes.library.uml#String'
'Integer' -> 'pathmap://UML_LIBRARIES/UMLPrimitiveTypes.library.uml#Integer'
'Boolean' -> 'pathmap://UML_LIBRARIES/UMLPrimitiveTypes.library.uml#Boolean'
'Comment' -> 'pathmap://UML_LIBRARIES/UMLPrimitiveTypes.library.uml#String'

and this, in order to get in the xmi file representing the target model, an href value for each primitiveType used, for exemple if 'String' is used I must get : href = 'pathmap://UML_LIBRARIES/UMLPrimitiveTypes.library.uml#String' in the definition of this type in the xmi file representing the tarhet model


NB: - Rather than creating primitiveTypes as I've done? Is it possible to import them and access to the?, if yes, how?


- If I want to use OclVoid to indicate that an operation return nothing, the following helper is it correct?

helper def : OclVoid : PSMM!PrimitiveType = OclUndefined;



for the second question, I've done as follow :
-----------------------


rule createProperties() {
to
prop: PSMM!Property(
name <- 'valuesToReturn',
visibility <- #private,
lower <- 0,
upper <- -1,
type <- OclAny
),

...

}

however this is not acceptable and I get this error :
org.eclipse.m2m.atl.engine.emfvm.VMException: java.lang.Class cannot be cast to org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Type

How Can I affect a general type to a property, to indicate that this property can receive any value?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

Please, avoid posting several times the same question on the forum.
This will not make the answers arriving faster, and simply makes the search of already posted questions/answers more difficult for the community.
Thanks in advance.

sorry, I duplicated my post having thought the previous one was not received!
