MOFM2T11 — Inconsistency in metamodel Message

Title: Inconsistency in metamodel Message: The Mof2Text metamodel cannot attach static text to a body section. --------- ---------------------- | Block | 1 ---------> 0..* | TemplateExpression | --------- body ---------------------- --------- ---------------------- ----------------- | Block | -------|> | TemplateExpression | --------|> | OclExpression | --------- ---------------------- ----------------- The problem can be reproduced with the following example (extracted from Example 1. Page 25): [template public TableToDDL(t: Table)] CREATE TABLE [t.name/] ( [for (c:Column|t.column) separator(',')] [c.name/] [c.type/] [/for] ); [KeyToDDL(t.key)/] [ForeignKeyToDDL(t.foreignKey)/] [/template] The template body contains a ForBlock, a TemplateExpression ([t.name/]) and two TemplateInvocation (KeyToDDL and ForeignKeyToDDL). It seems that there are no ways to attach the static text portions "CREATE TABLE", "(" and ");" to the model. The OCL specification contains a StringLiteralExp class that could be used to attach this kind of static literal text. But for that to work, StringLiteralExp instances should be attachable somewhere, for instance, in the Block's body. In that case, perhaps that 'body' property could change its type from TemplateExpression to the more general OCLExpression, in order to allow StringLiteralExp's to be directly added to 'body', although this could be too much a general solution and would possibly require further testing. Solution: The metamodel could be change as follows: --------- ----------------- | Block | 1 ---------> 0..* | OclExpression | --------- body -----------------
