Objects instead of subobject for dynamic ports

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi!
I have a graph with several objects (s1...sn). All the objects are subobjects of a main object (m). 

for each s1..sn I am generating dynamic ports. The criteria for ports is the direction property. 

I am wondering if it is somehow possible to use object instead of each subobject while navigating the graph. For example.

foreach .m
{
 if :direction = 'in'
then
id
endif
}

	Generators allow to access and select subobjects in many ways. If s and m are in different graph types then you need to access the subgraph and the objects there, like for each m: do decompositions { foreach .s; where :direction = 'in' { id newline } } If you need to access only s1..sn which are used in relationships of m1, then you may access them directly from the ports as follows: foreach .m { do #() where :direction = 'in' { /* gives ports connected */ id newline } } If instances of s and m are in the same graph, then you may access them: foreach .m { foreach .s; where :direction = 'in' { id newline } } When accessing instances of s you may also sort them in different ways, like based on their properties, coordinates etc. If you have a specific case of metamodel and would like to have one-to-one webmeeting feel free to suggest time (jpt@metacase.com).
