Hi, Stefan,
The EcoreEnvironment maps EInt, EIntegerObject, and friends to the Integer
primitive type from the OCL Standard Library when used as the types of
ETypedElements in the model. That is automatic. Because OCL knows how to
define operations for its own data types, but EDataTypes generally cannot
express operations, this is important for '+' etc. to work.
The same type mapping is not done for Variables because OCL Variables cannot
occur in a model (in particular, they have no relation to the UML construct
of the same name). If you are creating your own Variables and adding them
to an Environment, then you need to use the OCL-defined standard types
where appropriate.
It sounds from your last remark that you are trying to do this
(OCLStandardLibrary::getInteger() is the right way). Why is it not
working? I don't know what you mean by the result being an EObject. The
OCL Integer type is not a class; its instances are not EObjects.
HTH,
Christian
