OCL operation reference

Ocl operations for type *Classifier*

allInstances () : Set{T}

Returns a Set containing all of the existing instances of the current classifier (along with instances of all its inherited classifiers).

Expression Result
let a : String = 'a', b : String = 'b', c : Integer = 2 in String.allInstances() Set{'a','b'}

Ocl operations for type *OclAny*

oclAsType ( typespec : Classifier ) : T

  Returns *self* statically typed as typespec if it is an instance of this type. *Note* that this does not alter the
  runtime value of *self*, it only enables access to subtype operations. This operation allows users to cast *self*
  to another type.
  +-------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------+
  | Expression                                                  | Result                      |
  +=============================================================+=============================+
  | aPerson.oclAsType(Employee)                                 | an object of Employee type  |
  +-------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------+

oclIsInvalid () : Boolean

  Returns **true** if *self* is equal to *invalid*.
  +--------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
  | Expression                                                   | Result |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
  | let anObject : String = 'null' in anObject.oclIsUndefined()  | false  |
  +--------------------------------------------------------------+--------+


oclIsKindOf( Classifier typespec ) : Boolean

  Returns **true** if the type of *self* corresponds to the type or supertype of typespec, **false** otherwise. This
  operation allows users to check the class hierarchy of *self* much like would an *instanceof* Java.
  +----------------------------------+--------+
  | Expression                       | Result |

  +----------------------------------+--------+


oclIsTypeOf( typespec : Classifier ) : Boolean

  Returns **true** if the type of *self* is the same as typespec, or **false** otherwise. This operation allows users
  to check the exact class type of *self*.
  
  +----------------------------------+--------+
  | Expression                       | Result |

Ocl operations for type *String*

    • A note on Strings** : OCL Strings begin at index *1*, not *0* as in most languages. Thus *'test'.at(0)* fails in
  • invalid* whereas *'test'.at(1)* yields *'t'*. Likewise, *'test'.substring(2, 2)* returns *'e'*.

Ocl operations for type *Collection*

Please note that OCL collections can contain the *null* value (null) but not the *invalid* value (|invalid|). Trying to add |invalid| within a new or existing collection will yield |invalid| as a result. OCL proposes four distinct kinds of collections offering all possibilities of ordering/unicity.

.. list-table::

:header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 1

* - Collection type - Ordered - Unique * - Sequence - true - false * - OrderedSet - true - true * - Bag - false - false * - Set - false - true


any ( expr : OclExpression ) : T

Returns any element contained in *self* that validates the condition *expr*, null otherwise. Evaluation is shortcut as soon as an element validating *expr* is found. Note that the result of this on unordered collections will be random if more than one element validates *expr*.
