Hi Daniel,
i was thinking about that and yes, i only want to reflect the
outside model to a certain depth (e.g. say 1-level beyond the
scope of the rule) to allow for the flexibility of the rule. But
if i want to create an element that has a reference to an outside
element, e.g. an InstanceSpecification that references a
classifier already existing in a model or a loaded
(non-changeable) library, would i have to add this classifier on
the LHS and RHS (so it gets searched and the eReference set) or is
there a different way to create eReferences to existing elements?
Thanks,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,
generally, you don't need to specify all elements of an input
model - in fact, doing so would very much contradict the idea of
rules, which are meant to be applicable to many different input
models. At its core, a rule specifies (i) a pattern that is
matched against (possibly much larger) input models, and (ii) some
change actions to modify these models if a match was found.
Your use-case of generating rules from a UML model sounds like a
very specialized use of rules. I think we could help you better if
you could describe the context and purpose of your example rule in
more detail.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi,
while generating henshin rules from an EMF based UML
model, i am asking myself how to treat references
(eReferences) to the rest of the model.
So say i have an instance specification in my LHS and RHS
that has a classifier, do i need to model this classifier in
the rule as a node or is there a way to reference it as an
"outside element"?
Thanks,
Johannes
