Hello
I got a problem to avoid resolving invalid features names when using
features columns with a table having different kinds of lines.
Example :
Class Text {
String value;
}
Class C {
Text name;
}
Class A {
Text name;
Text b;
Class C c; //containment
}
I want to define a table with two features columns containing
name.value and b.value, for Class C and A in the same table.
In the O design I do :
o Table MyTable
o Line A
o Line C
o Feature name
o Feature b
Line A, Line C, Feature name are ok.
More precisely, the name feature colomns has the following properties :
- feature name : value
- feature parent expression : [self.name/]
Everything works perfectly...
Now the 'b' feature column is defined the same way :
- feature name : value
- feature parent expression : [self.b/] <- There is the issue
Obviously the issue is that ther is no property named 'b' for Class C.
The table is rendered correctly, but the validation show an error... I
wanted to create an if statement in the parent expression (something
like : if self.oclIsType of Class A, then xxx else) but could not
figure how to create an if in the parent expression (nor OCL nor
Acceleo), and after, I could not figure what should be the parent
expression results in the else case (if I return oclUndefine or null,
then the feature name 'value' will be evaluated agains an undefined
object, which I gues is not very clean approach)
QUESTIONS : What is the good approach when creating tables with lines
of different classes to avoid the computation of invalid features ?
Best regards
Cedric

In the 'b' feature column have you tried to set as the feature parent
expression [self.oclAsType(A).b/]? But as there is no precondition
expression for this feature, to really filter "A" element, I am afraid
this will print a generic String for an element typed C.

Without using the feature parent expression, a label will be displayed
only if the EClass as a feature with the same name. Otherwise, it will
be left blank.
