[gme-users] Using OCL

[Sandeep Neema]

Joe,

One thing that I notice here is your use of the '==' comparison
operator. Someone else can give you a better explanation, but in OCL you
use '=' for value comparison (OCL does not have an assignment operator).

My understanding of OCL is apparently very thin.  I have two examples,
but I suspect I'm making the same kind of mistake for both, so here
goes:

In my cute little test case I have the attached class diagram.

The Level object has an attached constraint to make sure there is only
one Boss-type object in the model:

self.parts( Boss )->size == 1 
 
This is checked for "On new child".

The Boss object has a constraint as follows, so its "Number" attribute
can only be 1: 

self.Number == 1

This is checked for "On change attribute"

For either contraint the warnings show all of the time for the two
events, whether or not the constraint is true.    I realize it's most
likely an 
OCL syntax issue.  Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks,
-Joe
