OCL operation reference

Ocl operations for type *Classifier*

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.

let anObject : String = 'null' in anObject.oclIsInvalid() 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

anEmployee.oclIsKindOf(Person) true
aCat.oclIsKindOf(Person) false


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.
