Hi,
I'm trying to integrate OCL with another language where there are object patterns described that have to be matched in a
model. In my language, there are graph patterns and, during the matching, "nodes" are bound to model objects.
Now, I want to integrate OCL with that language. The problem is that I need to reuse the existing node bindings in OCL
expressions. For example, when a node "p" is bound to the object ":person", then I want to be able to evaluate
expressions like "p.name='John'". Or, suppose there are other "person" objects bound, "p1.name=p2.name" etc.
My guess is that I have to provide the existing node bindings to an EcoreEvaluationEnvironment (everything based on
ECore here). But, from there, I'm clueless how to proceed. Do I have to hand the EvaluationEnvironment the OCLHelper? How?
I haven't used the OCL API very much yet, so it would be great if someone could provide some explanation and code snippets.
Thanks a lot!
Joel

Hi, Joel,
Please use the MDT OCL newsgroup for OCL question (I have included it in
this reply).
Yes, that is correct. You will need to define custom "global" variables in
your Environment and provide values for them in your EvaluationEnvironment.
A complete example of how to do this can be found in the OCL Developer
Guide. In the Eclipse Help browser, select the
OCL Developer Guide
Programmer's Guide
Advanced Topics
Customizing the Environment
topic.
If that leaves you with unanswered questions, post them here!
HTH,
Christian

Joel,
I'll redirect you to the OCL newsgroup which I've added to the "to" list
of this reply. Note that Christian has added some very nice help pages
that should be available via help when you install the SDK.
