Using sortedBy [message #1573311] Mon, 19 January 2015 17:15 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi all,
I have defined two stereotypes (A and B), and a stereotype for a
dependency (RelationshipC) in a profile to relate A and B stereotypes.
RelationshipC has an attribute 'Order' that is supposed to be used to
specify an ordering between the several instances of RelationshipC that
an A element could have with several Bs (please, see the images attached).

I've written some OCL that gets the relationships from a specific A
element and it works.

self.clientDependency->select(p : UML::Dependency |
p.getAppliedStereotypes().qualifiedName->includes('profile::RelationshipC'))

However, I would like to get the dependencies sorted according to its
'Order' attribute. I guess I should use something like:

self.clientDependency->select(p : UML::Dependency |
p.getAppliedStereotypes().qualifiedName->includes('profile::RelationshipC'))->sortedBy(Order)

But I can't find examples on how to use sortedBy.

Could anybody help me?

Please, find attached also the project with the profile and the model
that uses it.


Greetings,

Víctor

Hi

What you are doing is nearly right, but because you are using the UML2
project Java API you have lost type information, which you could
re-instate with an oclAsType(profile::RelationshipC).

The new Povot-based Xtext support in the OCL project is moving to
supporting stereotype navigation in a type-safe fashion as hinted at by
the UML specification.

Something like (untested) might be better

self.clientDependency->selectByKind(UML::Dependency).extension_RelationshipC->sortedBy(Order)

Traditionally sortedBy takes an expression that computes a
String/Integer that determines the sort order. The Pivot-based support
introduces an OclComparable type for use as the sortedBy argument type
so that it is extensible to arbitrary user types such as Date.

Thanks for the quick answer Ed, it worked in the console.
However, I would like to use it also in Acceleo.
Thus, "extension_RelationC" nor oclAsType(profile::RelationshipC) syntax
work with my own profile, at least without registering the profile by
creating a plug-in.
Is there a workaround to use sortBy in that situation or an alternative
way of ordering?

Greeting,

Víctor

Hi

You're unlikely to get this working in Acceleo.

Use it's ability to invoke some Java code. If you've not used it yet,
it's worth learning.

Thanks Ed. I'll give it a try.
