Issue 7466:  rewrite well-formedness (ocl2-rtf)
Source: Klasse Objecten (Dr. Jos Warmer, j.warmer(at)klasse.nl)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: We would like to be able to rewrite well-formedness rules like:
context IfExp
inv: self.condition.type.oclIsKindOf(Primitive) and
self.condition.type.name = ’Boolean’
as
context IfExp
inv: self.condition.type.oclIsKindOf(Primitive) and This is more clear that the first expression where the matching is done by name.
Because the metamodel resides on a level higher than the standard library, we need a way to get access
to the standard library elements. One solution is to define a package ’StandardLibrary’ that contains a
Classifier called ’StdLib’, that holds the following attributes:
• + Collection: CollectionType;
• + Set: SetType;
• + OrderedSet: OrderedSetType;
• + Sequence: SequenceType;
• + Bag: BagType;
• + String: Primitive;
• + OclMessage: OclMessageType;
• + OclVoid : VoidType;
Other solutions might be possible, but the above has been proven to work in the Octopus tool.

Discussion:
This issue will be deferred. There is a question of representing formally the standard library as an ordinary UML package, which is not going to be solved for OCL 2.1 release.

 rewrite well-formedness

We would like to be able to rewrite well-formedness rules like:
context IfExp
inv: self.condition.type.oclIsKindOf(Primitive) and
self.condition.type.name = .Boolean.
as
context IfExp
inv: self.condition.type.oclIsKindOf(Primitive) and This is more clear that the first expression where the matching is done by name.
Because the metamodel resides on a level higher than the standard library, we need a way to get access
to the standard library elements. One solution is to define a package .StandardLibrary. that contains a
Classifier called .StdLib., that holds the following attributes:
. + Collection: CollectionType;
. + Set: SetType;
. + OrderedSet: OrderedSetType;
. + Sequence: SequenceType;
. + Bag: BagType;
. + String: Primitive;
. + OclMessage: OclMessageType;
. + OclVoid : VoidType;
