I'm a new user of the GME/GREAT tool suite and I have some<br>> questions for you guys.<br>> 1. I have written a rule containing a pattern including an abstract class<br>> (at level n). I want GREAT to use this rule to create an object based on the<br>> pattern provided as input. However, in my next rule, I need to get access to<br>> the inherited classes (level n-1) in the next rule ie the real objects<br>> abstracted. Since GREAT does not allow me to represent inheritance (as<br>> specified in the Metamodel) can I just (in the next rule) connect the real<br>> objects at n-1 to the real one at n+1 as children and parent by bypassing<br>> the abstract class? If no please clarify this point to me. I will also<br>> welcome any more efficient way to handle this kind of situation.<br>> 2. Is there anyway to "debug" or test the transformation rule by rule prior<br>> to running the Master interpreter?<br>> Thank,<br>> Leonard<br>><br>><br>><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>> _______________________________________________<br>> great-users mailing list<br>> <a href="mailto:great-users@list.isis.vanderbilt.edu" target="_blank">great-users@list.isis.vanderbilt.edu</a><br>> <a href="http://list.isis.vanderbilt.edu/mailman/listinfo/great-users" target="_blank">http://list.isis.vanderbilt.edu/mailman/listinfo/great-users</a><br>><br>_______________________________________________<br>great-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:great-users@list.isis.vanderbilt.edu" target="_blank">great-users@list.isis.vanderbilt.edu</a><br><a href="http://list.isis.vanderbilt.edu/mailman/listinfo/great-users" target="_blank">http://list.isis.vanderbilt.edu/mailman/listinfo/great-users</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
