Hi,

 

I changed the implementation of parentSelectors and childrenAccessors.

It is not based on <MSEParentProperty> like suggested in previous discussion but on <container> which is a pragma that is recognized by the meta meta model (Fame).

The implementation of the parentSelector method is consequently simpler and based on Fame:

parentSelector

       ^ self mooseDescription allAttributes select: #isContainer thenCollect: #implementingSelector

 

The same for childrenAccessors which is now based on Fame too:

childrenAccessors

       childrenAccessors

              ifNil: [ childrenAccessors := (self allDeclaredProperties

                           select: [ :fm3Prop |

                                  fm3Prop hasOpposite

                                         ifTrue: [ fm3Prop opposite isContainer ]

                                         ifFalse: [ false ] ]) collectAsSet: [ :prop | prop name ] ].

       ^ childrenAccessors

 

Instead of:

childrenAccessors

       childrenAccessors

              ifNil: [ childrenAccessors := (self allDeclaredProperties

                           select: [ :fm3Prop |

                                  | tmpClass |

                                  tmpClass := fm3Prop type implementingClass.

                                  tmpClass

                                         ifNotNil: [ ((tmpClass inheritsFrom: FAMIXNamedEntity) or: [ tmpClass = FAMIXNamedEntity ])

                                                       and: [ tmpClass parentSelector

                                                                     anySatisfy:

                                                                           [ :sel | ((tmpClass lookupSelector: sel) pragmas detect: [ :p | p keyword = 'MSEProperty:type:opposite:' ]) arguments third = fm3Prop name ] ] ]

                                         ifNil: [ false ] ]

                           thenCollect: [ :prop | prop name ]) flattened asSet ].

       ^ childrenAccessors


Consequently, for other models, the pragma <container> should be implemented on all the selectors referencing the containers of the entity itself.

 

Cheers,

Vincent
