Hi, Jonathan,
As Eike indicated, the OCL component has its own newsgroup (which I have
copied in the reply).
This attribute is transient because it supports the parsing process, but
is not semantically relevant to OCL expressions. Traceability to the
source text doesn't belong in the abstract syntax model, but rather in
the concrete-syntax model. This attribute actually pre-dates the CST
implementation and is retained only for API compatibility reasons. A
better solution would use a mapping of AST nodes to the CST nodes from
which they were parsed.
Cheers,
Christian

Hi Christian,
I agree with your choice.
Where can I find this information?
I'm using an an helper -> OCLHelper<EClassifier, EOperation,
EStructuralFeature, Constraint>
The method "createQuery" returns an OCL expression
Is there a way to find the CST information? perhaps "helper.getOCL()"?
Cheers,
Jonathan

I found the following map :
helper.getOCL().getEnvironment()).getASTNodeToCSTNodeMap()
Is it the only way?

Hi, Jonathan,
Yes, that is the way to access the AST-to-CST mapping.
Cheers,
