Hi,

In Bon2 you can access from a reference the Referred object by writing:
myref->getReferred()

If you have a connection then you can use these:

std::multiset<ConnectionEnd> 	result = myConn->getConnEnds();
ConnectionEnd cend = myConn->getSrc();
ConnectionEnd cend = myConn->getDst();

The other way:
If you have any fco, inquiring if it has any references:

std::set<Reference> refs_to_me = fco->getReferredBy()

Inquiring its connections:
std::set<Connection> my_conns = fco->getConnLinks()
std::set<Connection> my_conns = fco->getInConnLinks()
std::set<Connection> my_conns = fco->getOutConnLinks()

Or the connected objects ("connection ends") directly of the connections
above:

std::multiset<ConnectionEnd> c_ends = fco->getInConnEnds()
std::multiset<ConnectionEnd> c_ends = fco->getOutConnEnds()
std::multiset<ConnectionEnd> c_ends = fco->getConnEnds()
std::multiset<ConnectionEnd> c_ends = fco->getConnEndsAs()

ConnectionEnd (ConnectionEndImpl) is a supertype of FCO (FCOImpl) and
ReferencePort (ReferencePortImpl).
You may try to cast these ConnectionEnds to FCOs, if succeeds then you
have really an FCO as connection end. Otherwise cast to ReferencePort,
this succeeds when you have a connection through a referenceport.

Btw, you can use the "BonExtender" interpreter on your metamodel, that
will generate your paradigm specific BON from your paradigm.
