semantics of Reflection::Object

  • Key: MOF2I2-55
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7453
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Queensland University of Technology ( Jim Steel)
  • Summary:

    According to page 17, the semantics of Reflection::Object require that all instances of MOF model elements must specialize EMOF::Object. My question is, does this specialization have to be explicit or implicit? That is, if I create a blank MOF Class and ask for its superclasses, will they include EMOF::Object? If I send it a "getMetaClass" message, for example, will it understand it, or do I have to explicitly add EMOF::Object to its superclass property?

ReflectiveSequence is not sufficient - add iterator, remove addAll

  • Key: MOF2I2-52
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6907
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: GoodData Corporation ( Martin Matula)
  • Summary:

    Summary:
    Martin has proposed adding an iterator operation Iterator and removing addAll.
    Iterator would return a ReflectiveIterator that can be used to iterate through all the elements of the collection. If the underlying collection changes while holding an iterator, the behavior of iterator is undefined.

  • Reported: MOF2I 1.0 — Thu, 15 Jan 2004 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — MOF2I 2.0b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    AddAll is useful as an atomic operation. There would be limited value in a language independent iterator – it will tend to make for non-optimal language bindings

ad-03-04-07/Non-orthogonal additions to UML Core

  • Key: MOF2I2-49
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6494
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: David Frankel Consulting ( David Frankel)
  • Summary:

    Issue: The MOF 2 Core specification adds elements to the meta-metamodel that
    are not part of the UML 2 Core. For example, see the sections entitled
    "EMOF Extensions to Basic" and "CMOF Extensions to Core::Constructs." The
    MOF 2 Core's abstract syntax should be a subset of UML. (For detailed
    explanation of why this is advisable, see ad/03-03-30). Note that this
    subset principal allows for MOF to specify orthogonal "mix-in" elements,
    such as packages for reflection and identity.

    Recommendation: Either add the extra elements to the UML 2 Core or else
    remove them from MOF.

MOF 2.0 Core 03-04-07, Chapter 5. Identifiers

  • Key: MOF2I2-47
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6390
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Hendryx & Associates ( Stan Hendryx)
  • Summary:

    On page 36:

    “Identity extends Basic::Property with the ability to designate a property as an identifier for the containing object. Properties: isID: Boolean [0..1] True indicates this property can be used to uniquely identify an instance of the containing Class. Only one Property in a class may have isID==true.”

    The restriction that only one Property in a class may have isID==true is debilitating. It is common for objects to be identified in the modeled application domain by a unique combination of a set of properties. For example, an object that represents an instance of an n-ary association in the modeled domain will, in general, be identified by a unique combination of n properties, each one of which is an identifier of a participating object in the association. Not being able to carry this natural condition into the MOF requires practitioners to devise a work-around, such as introducing a superfluous surrogate identifier, to be able to externally identify such objects.

    It is requested that the MOF 2.0 Core specification be revised by the FTF to allow any number of sets of properties to be identifiers. Any client of an object needs to be able to select the identifier set most convenient for them, and different clients need to be able to accurately identify the object, regardless of how other clients may find it.

    This issue is important to the Business Semantics of Business Rules submissions, which require domain identifiers for objects. Other MOF users will also benefit.

    Introduction of the Identity package is a potentially powerful and badly needed improvement over MOF 1.x to enable the use of external identifiers for MOF objects, which will greatly facilitate accurate model interchange, reuse, aggregation, and transformation. The present limitation stunts this potential. Please take this modest extra step to assure the full potential of the Identity package can be realized.

MOF 2 Issue: Reflexion and Links

  • Key: MOF2I2-46
  • Legacy Issue Number: 5996
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MEGA International ( Mr. Antoine Lonjon)
  • Summary:

    The problem
    -----------

    In the reflexion package of MOF2, the proposal for links assumes that
    AssociationEnds are ordered.
    There is an implicit mapping between firstObject and secondObject roles and
    AssociationEnds is based on this assumption:
    FirstObject maps to the first associationEnd
    SecondObject maps to the second associationEnd

    This leads to the following Operation to create links in the Factory Class:

    createLink(association: Association, firstObject : Object, secondObject :
    Object): Link

    At first glance, this solution provides an easy way to identify the link
    members in parameters of link operations. However, the AssociationEnd is
    difficult to read. It is closer to relational concepts than to
    object/association principles.
    One will always have to guess which is the first or second object.
    The modeler who has created the association might remember the order. But
    the user using the association will probably be lost.

    Example:
    Country:Class - resident:AssociationEnd (First) - Citizenship:Association

    • country:AssociationEnd (Second) - Country:Class

    createLink("Citizenhip": Association, "Thomas": Object : "France" :
    Object)

    Proposal
    --------
    The idea is to benefit from the semantic carried by AssociationEnds
    themselves:
    A link defines members. Each member references a participant object
    according to a role defined by the AssociationEnd.
    Thanks to opposite association of AssociationEnds (aka Property), it is
    possible to identify one end from another. This means that if we create
    links from an AssociationEnd viewpoint, there is no need to order
    AssociationEnd.
    The proposal is to order the creation parameters as follow: sourceObject,
    oppositeRole, oppositeObject.
    Of course, this approach only works for binary associations. But the focus
    of AssociationEnd is the first step to take into account nary associations.

    This also highlight that what matters most in Association semantic is the
    role name of AssociationEnds.
    It is usually much more difficult to have a meaningful name for association.
    This is why we can often see names such as "has for ..." which do not carry
    much information about the association.

    All operations on links are redefined as follow:

    createLink (sourceObject : Object, oppositeRole : Property, oppositeObject :
    Object)
    Example:
    createLink("Thomas:Object","country:Role","France:Object")
    equivalent to:
    createLink("France:Object","resident:Role","Thomas:Object")

    linkedObjects (sourceObject : Object, oppositeRole : Property) :
    Object[0..*]

    LinkExists (sourceObject : Object, oppositeRole : Property, oppositeObject :
    Object) : Boolean

    Proposal Comments
    -----------------
    A better proposal would not use the opposite role but the role attached to
    the object participation to the association.

    createLink("resident:Property","Thomas:Object","France:Object")

    But experience shows that this is two much unsual for modelers. This would
    however be the right path for the introduction of nary associations.

MOF should include Profile package

  • Key: MOF2I2-48
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6408
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: gmail.com ( Guus Ramackers)
  • Summary:

    The Infrastructure library contains a Core model package and a Profile package.
    The former is reused in MOG, but the latter is not part of MOF.
    This means that MOF QVT submissions cannot build on the Profiles concept for marking (meta) models and they cannot define mappings for profiled meta models.
    MDA style mappings from PIM to PSM or between PSMs requires support for mapping between profiled models in many UML modeling tools that implement PSMs as profiles.
    If MOF QVT cannot deal with mappings to and between profiled models, these tools will require another solution.

removing section 12.3 EMOF Merged Model ?

  • Key: MOF2I2-44
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7957
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: International Business Machines ( Mr. Jim Amsden)
  • Summary:

    Issue 6494 resolution calls for removing section 12.3 EMOF Merged Model. Removing this section would require readers to understand and mentally perform a package merge in order to see the complete EMOF model. It would also make it necessary for EMOF implementers to have an implementation of Constructs and package merge in order to implement EMOF. Retaining section 12.3 provide all the information required to fully understand and implement EMOF without requiring the reader or implementer to know anything about package merge.

Question on M-Levels

  • Key: MOF2I2-43
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7749
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: SAP SE ( Axel Uhl)
  • Summary:

    section 7.2 of the MOF 2.0 specification (similar to previous versions of the MOF spec) still contains this bold sentence: "The MOF 1.4 Reflection interfaces allow traversal across any number of metalayers recursively." I'm wondering how I would create a MOF-based system with more than three layers that really "live" inside a MOF-based repository. Let's take a look at UML, for example. If we forget for a while that UML 2.0 and MOF 2.0 share a common core, I could consider the UML metamodel as just another modeling language defined using MOF.

    Now the UML metamodel defines zillions of classes, all of them being instances of MOF::Class. One of them happens to be UML::Class, a classifying model element which allows me to create model elements in the UML modeling languages that themselves conceptually act as meta-objects that I may wish to instantiate.

    However, apart from the "shared core trick," the MOF doesn't have any knowledge about the MOF::Class object UML::Class being special, and in particular being a classifying meta-object.

    The sentence from 7.2 suggests that I can have the following:

    myDog.getClass() == Dog
    Dog.getClass() == UML::Class
    UML::Class.getClass() == MOF::Class

    However, creation of a model element with the reflective capabilities as found in the MOF 2.0 specification seems to allow me only to create the UML::Class instance named "Dog" as I can use UML::Class as an argument to Factory::createObject(...). The resulting object, however, is no longer an instance of MOF::Class and can therefore not be used for a factory call in order to create an instance.

    Currently available language bindings for MOF 1.4 as I understand them correspondingly don't allow for this flexible multi-layering idea. Take JMI, for example. While the standard defines how to derive the class proxy for UML::Class, I cannot simply instantiate the UML::Class instance Dog because it's not a MOF::Class instance.

    Would I have to import the MOF core into my metamodel and have UML::Class specialize MOF::Class? (Tricky enough, MOF 2.0 doesn't even have to create a specialization relation because the two are identical. But I think you get the picture; I could have chosen to use my own metamodel, different from UML, but still introducing a classifying class.) If this was the case, then probably there would be something missing from the language bindings and reflective capabilities. For the JMI example, I'd then expect to be able to obtain a class proxy for an instance of my UML::Class so that I can create instances of that particular UML class, e.g., the "myDog" instance used in the example above.

    Any ideas?

  • Summary:

    I am reading the "Meta Object Facility (MOF) 2.0 Core Specification"
    document ptc/03-10-04. In the section about EMOF, there is the statement
    "The value of Essential MOF is that it provides a straightforward
    framework for mapping MOF models to
    implementations such as JMI and XMI for simple metamodels." From that
    statement, I inferred that the reason that EMOF exists is largely to
    define XMI 2.0 and (hypothetically) JMI 2.0. In particular, it seemed
    from reading the EMOF introduction that the XMI 2.0 and JMI 2.0
    specifications would depend only on EMOF (and NOT depend on CMOF).

    However, when I read the XMI 2.0 spec., it specifically provides
    mappings for features in CMOF that aren't in EMOF, so
    implementing/understanding EMOF is not enough to implement/understand
    XMI 2.0. There is no JMI 2.0 specification yet, but it seems likely that
    the case would be the same as with XMI 2.0. Therefore, it is not clear
    to me what the purpose of EMOF is. When is using EMOF more appropriate
    than using CMOF?

    Are there any examples of complete EMOF models? In particular, does
    anybody have the EMOF model defined as an instance of itself, as an XMI
    document? I could only find the EMOF model defined as an instance of
    CMOF. And finally, is it possible to represent the (merged) CMOF model
    as an instance of the EMOF model (useful for bootstrapping)?

    Finally, is there a well-defined mapping between EMOF and CMOF? That is,
    how can I convert an instance of the EMOF model to an instance of the
    CMOF model, and vice versa?

Resolution of issue 9154 does not work for primitives

  • Key: MOF2I2-40
  • Legacy Issue Number: 9175
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary:
    The resolution of issue 9154 cannot work for primitive types, since all of
    the operations in the reflective interfaces are typed to MOFObject (and
    primitive types are no MOFObjects).

    Discussion:
    This problem was already known and mentioned by Pete Rivett during the
    ballot 2 vote. However - unfortunately - the wrong text went into the
    resolution due to a misunderstanding. This resolution resolves this bug,
    which otherwise would definitely restrict the implementability of the spec.

Align CCM Reflection Mapping to MOF2.0 Core

  • Key: MOF2I2-31
  • Legacy Issue Number: 9162
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Fraunhofer FOKUS ( Michael Soden)
  • Summary:

    I suggest the introduction of a RefCCMPackage for CCMreflection Mapping. It is more natural and intuitive for package components to provide RefCCMPackage facets rather than RefCCMBaseObject. The RefCCMPackage should inherit from the RefCCMBaseObject. This could also ease the migration of reflective clients from CCM to Base-IDL Repository
    Moreover rule (42) and example (10) use the word support to describe the relationship between concrete home interfaces and RefCCMHome. A home rather inherits from another home.
    Section 8.3.2 uses a RefComponent type not explained anywhere. This should be RefCCMObject, since this guarantees that the concrete object in it is a component.

RefCCMBaseObject and RefBaseObject

  • Summary:

    RefCCMBaseObject and RefBaseObject should contain a ref_get_label() operation.
    Source:
    Michael Soden, soden@ikv.de
    Summary:
    Unfortunately the MOF2.0 Core like MOF1.4 fails explicitly model a property as the label of an instance of a class. It provides the isID flag but this cannot always be used to display class instances reflectively. For example, when modeling a "Library", a "Book" would have a "bookID" and "title". While the "bookID" may be flagged with isID=true, this may not be user friendly for a reflective client displaying a book.
    Therefore I suggest the introduction of a ref_label() operation in the RefCCMBaseObject and RefBaseObject interfaces as well as a standard optional Tag whose value should denote the property to use as a label. The modeler can attach such a tag to a class so that the ref_label() method can be implemented accordingly in the class' derived interface.

  • Summary:

    With regard to the operations 'create_link_in_<association_name>'
    and 'remove_link', the Exception paragraphs contain information
    only about the case where association ends are defined as
    derived unions. It's not clear what the behavior is otherwise.

  • Summary:

    In Rule (9) it is stated that the created valuetype which inherits from the abstract valuetype MOFState is truncatable. But according to the CORBA Specification it is not allowed to declare a valuetype as truncatable if it is derived from an abstract valuetype. The base type has to be non-abstract.

  • Summary:

    section 6.3.3, p.31, example IDL
    The operations shown in the example for mapping of
    associations don't seem to gibe with the operations
    described section 7.6.3, pp.59-61.

    The CCM version of the mapping has components supporting abstract
    interfaces. There is some discussion where I work about whether
    or not this will have dire consequences. Such a case was throwing
    an error in our IDL compiler - someone must have thought it was
    a no-no. For the record, it seems ok to me for components to do
    this, but I wanted to get some more input on the matter. I guess
    it boils down to the question of whether it would ever be
    necessary to narrow to a component's supported interface, or to
    pass one over the wire as a CORBA::Object.

  • Summary:

    forward declared exception (MofError)

    For now I have instead forward declared MOFObject so I can
    fully define MofError before the full definition of MOFObject.

    abstract valuetype (MOFState) has a state member

    For now I have removed the 'abstract' qualifier.
