Re: [mdr-users] constraints in UML to MOF

Hello,

it seems you are making some MOF-metamodel of your own.
This metamodel should be expressed in MOF terms. As there was no MOF
tool available in old days to do this directly, but many UML tools were
available, uml2mof tool was developed to simplify creation of 'MOF
metamodel' in the way, that it can be designed in UML as 'UML model'
using some very restricted sub-set of UML and then this 'UML Model' can
be using 'uml2mof' converted into 'MOF metamodel'.
All UML features not 'mappable' to MOF are ignored.
I believe that 'MOF metamodel' cannot contain constraints. therefore all
constraints from UML are ignored by 'uml2mof' tool.
Check documentation for 'uml2mof' how to prepare you UML Model to be
fully convertible to MOF-metamodel.


The behavior is by design.


Regards

Richard
