  org.eclipse.ocl.AbstractTypeResolver<PK,C,O,P,PM>

All Implemented Interfaces:

TypeResolver<C,O,P>

Direct Known Subclasses:

TypeResolverImpl

public abstract class AbstractTypeResolver<PK,C,O,P,PM>
extends java.lang.Object
implements TypeResolver<C,O,P>

A partial implementation of the TypeResolver interface, useful for providers of environment implementations to build their type resolvers.

It is recommended that clients extend this class to customize resolution of types based on their models, rather than implementing the interface. Simply override a few protected methods for creating metamodel-specific constructs.

See the Environment class for a description of the generic type parameters of this class.

Constructor Detail

AbstractTypeResolver

public AbstractTypeResolver(Environment<PK,C,O,P,?,PM,?,?,?,?,?,?> env)

Initializes me with an environment. I create my own resource for persistence of model-based types.

Parameters:

env - the environment that I persist

AbstractTypeResolver

public AbstractTypeResolver(Environment<PK,C,O,P,?,PM,?,?,?,?,?,?> env,
                            Resource resource)

Initializes me with a resource in which I will persist the model-based types that I generate in my associated Environment.

Parameters:

env - my environment

resource - my resource

Method Detail

resolve

public C resolve(C type)

Description copied from interface: TypeResolver

Resolves the specified type, returning my own persistent type instance representing the same OCL type.

The type may have been newly created by the parser and be a duplicate of a type previously resolved, or it may actually be a type that was previously resolved. In the latter case, the type is returned as is. The null type is considered to be resolved (i.e., the result is also null).

Usually, this method will delegate to one of the resolveXyzType() methods defined by this interface.

Specified by:

resolve in interface TypeResolver<C,O,P>

Parameters:

type - a type to resolve

Returns:

the resolved type, or type if it is already resolved

getEnvironment

Obtains the environment that I persist.

Returns:

Specified by:

createResource

protected Resource createResource()

Creates the resource that persists my generated types. Subclasses requiring persistence must override this default implementation, as it creates a resource that does not support persistence and does not have a useful URI.

Returns:

the new resource

getCollectionPackage

public PK getCollectionPackage()

Obtains the package containing the collection types that I generate.

Returns:

my collection type package

Creates the package containing the collection types that I generate.

Returns:

the new collection type package

findCollectionPackage

protected PK findCollectionPackage()

Finds the package storing collection types, if our resource already contains it.

Returns:

the existing collection types package, or null if it does not yet exist

resolveCollectionType

public CollectionType<C,O> resolveCollectionType(CollectionKind kind,
