Hi Adi,<br>
<br>
In the first case mentioned in you email:<br>
<br>
Is the "F" association class between ClassA and ClassC and its
cardinality<br>
set to 0?<br>
<br>
If yes, currently the user needs to set the cardinality of edge A->F and<br>
F->C to 0(not -1).<br>

Hi Arda and Feng,<br>
<br>
I ran some experiments and realized the following.<br>
<br>
1. The pattern arda drew does not work. However, it is not because the class<br>
called feature is negated. Because that were the case then for your example<br>
the output would show classE but it doesn't.<br>
<br>
R-->A--1->F<-1-->C<br>
| ^ <br>
|-----0-----|<br>
<br>
This pattern yields the wrong result.<br>
<br>
<br>
2. A pattern of the form <br>
<br>
R-->A--1->B<br>
|<br>
|--0->C<br>
<br>
This pattern yields the right result.<br>
<br>
<br>
>From my understanding the A-->C edge in the first case is handled in a<br>
different part of the pattern matcher than the other edges and I guess we<br>
may not be checking the 0 cardinality correctly there.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Adi<br>

I set the pattern cardinalities of the connection element to "0" but
it<br>
negates the element not the association. I am sending my example. I want to<br>
define a pattern that defines a Class A which aggregates Class B and a<br>
feature but Class B should not have the feature of Class A. When I set the<br>
pattern cardinality of the Connection element between the Class B and the<br>
feature, it negates the feature, not the connection between them.<br>

Aditya Agrawal <ADITYA.AGRAWAL@GMAIL.COM>wrote:<br>
Hi Arda,<br>
<br>
In your pattern specification you can change the "pattern
cardinality"<br>
attribute even on the simple association between B and C. By simple<br>
association I mean an association without a class. <br>
<br>
You can click in the line, change the attribute called "pattern
cardinality<br>
to '0' or '-1' " <br>
<br>
I hope this helps.<br>

I could not write a good example. I mean, the meta association. I imagine <br>
the A, B and C classes are the meta class es and the association between them<br>
are the meta association, there is not a meta class named Association. The<br>
setting the pattern cardinality to "-1" is true if there is a

As far as I remember you can set the pattern cardinality on the association<br>

<br>
I don't know if things have changed in the recent past but earlier the value<br>

<br>
Hi,<br>
I have a question about the negative application condition in GREAT. In the<br>
user manual, it is said that if you set the pattern cardinality to
"-1", you<br>
negate that element. but I want to negate the element for only one<br>
association.<br>
For example, in my pattern I have three classes: classA, classB and classC.<br>
ClassA has a relation with ClassB and ClassC but I do not want ClassB to<br>
have a relation with ClassC. I want to negate ClassC for the<br>
association between ClassB and ClassC. But in my pattern if I set the<br>
pattern cardinality to -1, I can not show the whole pattern in one rule. How<br>
is it possible?<br>
Regards,<br>
