[gme-users] OCL Question

[Matthew J. Emerson]

To keep with your example, you need to edit your definition of dest:

Let dest =
self.connectedFCOs("dst")->theOnly().oclAsType(meta::WhateverTheTypeIs).
DataType.trim() in

But I don't recommend using theOnly because if one atom connects to zero
or more than one other atoms it returns undefined. I also don't think
you need to use trim(). For the metamodel fragment in the image, I would
write the constraint:

self.connectedFCOs(meta::Conn)->forAll(other : meta::B | self.DataType =
other.DataType)



The context of the constraint is the 'A' type. Flag the constraint to be
checked on connect.

I am trying to write a constraint to compare a common attribute on two
atoms that are connected, to allow or disallow the connection. 

I have not been able to access the 2nd connecting atom's attribute.  The
source atom can be referred to as "self", but I can not find any method
combination that leads me to the destination atom.  

So far this is what I have:
-- DataType is the name of the string attribute I wish to compare on
both SRC and DST atoms. 
let dest = self.connectedFCOs("dst")->theOnly() in  
let src   = self.DataType.trim() in
dest = src


Thanks,
  Ryan
