Hi,

I was just starting to compute invocations and access information for my methods and attributes. Could someone provide an examplary file for this purpose or could point to a possible explanation? I am just looking at the meta model present on the web site but couldn't understand enough to start my implementation.

An access represents the fact that a method accesses a given attribute accessedIn = method accesses = attribute/field

Do I make one entry for each invocation and access?

Yes taken from http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/moose/lansamplemodel/? action=MimeView

(FAMIX.Access (id: 336) (accessedIn (idref: 28)) (accesses (idref: 5)) (readWriteAccess true) (stub false))

An invocation receivingVariable is the receiver candidate is the possible list of methods that could be invoked invokedBy is the method in which the message send is performed invokes is the name of the message

in the past there were also the receiving class and the baseclass? Doru do they still used?

(FAMIX.Invocation (id: 2) (candidate (idref: 3)) (invokedBy (idref: 4)) (invokes 'name:(Object)') (receivingVariable (idref: 5)) (stub false))

Secondly, I would like to know the difference between namepaces and packages as they are seen by MOOSE. Because, as i understand, namespace is an equivalent to a package as far as their different use at the level of programming languages is concerned (Java vs C#). Therefore, my MSE file only contains namespaces but no packages.

In some languages namespaces and packages are different things in Smalltalk for example a package does not have any scope associated with: it is just a container of entity used for deployement. So basically in your case you can map your package to namespace (I do not know in C# if this is the same as in java but in Java namespace . . . does not define nesting of component just naming). But I may have forgot :)
