HUTN — String representation shortcut to simplify representation of complex elemen

  • Key: HUTN-2
  • Legacy Issue Number: 5812
  • Status: open  
  • Source: France Telecom R&D ( Mariano Belaunde)
  • Summary:

    Sometimes the representation based in the metamodel is too complex, and some simplifications can be
    taken. As an example, when representing multiplicities, the UML MM has a very complex way to do that.
    However a compact string representation for multiplicities already exists and is widely used. The HUTN
    should allow the users to use the special textual representations when available.
    For instance: the string datavalue "1..5" culd be used instaed of
    ... Multiplicity {range: MultiplicityRange {lower="1";upper="5";}}
    Suggestion for resolution: Enhance the configuration Metamodel with a ElementSubstitutionConfig
    metaclass declaring the replacement and the string convention to be used
    (attributes 'the_element : ModelElementRef' and 'replacementSpec : String')
    The 'replacementSpec' may reference an OCL function defined at some place
