MIWG Tools Changelog
This page describes changes that affect the behavior of the MIWG tools
(Validator, Class Browser, Model Diff).

2013-01-03:- Fixed a bug where objects in an OCL package (e.g. Variable) were confused with
objects in metamodel packages.
2012-11-10:- Added ability to compile profiles based on UML 2.4.1.
- Fixed a problem where having OCL Collections on properties that should not
contain them was causing property propagation to run long.
- Fixed a problem in canonical XMI generation where the reference to the base_ property of
stereotype applications was not updated.

- Corrected a bug in HTML rendering where the validation results page
was entirely inside a header element.

2012-10-10:- Fixed a bug in the propagation of opposites where the opposite is a property that is renamed
in its redefinition.
2012-10-03:- Fixed a bug in which differences in regression testing of model-diff were not reported.
- Fixed a bug where some testing inappropriate for stereotypes was being applied.

2012-07-30:- Fixed various bugs that prevented loading and href-linking of models spread over multiple files.
- Improved the documentation of the multi-file loading capability.
- Fixed a bug where diff report details called an undefined method.
2012-07-16:- Fixed a bug in the reporting of ocl:Sets that contain duplicate elements.
2012-06-25:- Fixed a bug in Canonical generation where the code attempted to create names for
objects that are defaults (and therefore not serialized).
2012-06-22:- Fixed a bug in Canonical generation where the uml::name method was called on
elements that did not possess that property.
2012-06-01:- Created a version that runs on MS Windows, for distribution. It can be
found here.
- Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI generation where CMOF:Tags were not getting new xmi:ids.
- Updated UML2.5 preload to current SVN version.
2012-05-16:- Updated the UPDM Profile from SVN -- URI/URL changed to URI.
- Fixed a bug where navigating to URLs to QVT menu items caused an error.
2012-05-03:- Fixed a problem where canonical xmi:id's were not managed correctly, affecting
canonical XMI transformation from input that was mostly in canonical form.
2012-05-01:- Corrected URI to SoaML.
- Updated UPDM Profile.
- Save xmi:id of Packages in compiled models.
- Corrected a bug where some legitimate URLs where perceived as XSS attacks.
2012-04-25:- Pre-loaded the UPDM profile.

2012-03-07:- Support additional character encodings: jis, shift_jis, Windows-CP936, euc-jp.
- Pre-loaded SysML 1.3
- Store unpredictable xmi-id for href.
- Removed operations for derived properties in UML 2.4.1 which where stubbed in to
return true. Thus, the validator will again generate exceptions when these are called,
as it does with other metamodels. This currently appears to be the best approach to
handling the missing derivation problem. The problem may go away in UML 2.5.
- Corrected a problem with translation of the OCL grammar element CollectionLiteralPart
where the populating expression was not literal (e.g. OrderedSet{ownedEnd}.
- Compiled with LW 6.1
2012-02-28:- Updated UML 2.5 metamodel.
- Allow validation of CMOF. (Note that the toplevel package should have xmi:id='_0'.)
2012-02-25:- Restored ability to specify href URI for user-loaded profiles.
- Fixed various bugs in OCL parsing revealed by UML2.5
- Implemented OCL closure operation.
- Fixed bug where the schema loader was concatenating ownedRule bodies (OCL), where it
should have been using bodyCondition, precondition and postcondition.
- Fixed bug in OCL collection literal.
- Implemented QVT-r handling of opposites
- Implemented additional methods for OCL asSet() etc.
- Implemented OCL _'reservedword' syntax
- Fixed bug in checking for cross-site scripting
2012-01-23:- Deployed UML 2.4.1, dropped support for UML 2.2
- Started using cmof:Tag to identify UML profiles.
- Improved usability of the QVT-r implementation.
2011-11-25:2011-11-22:- Corrected a problem with insertion of owner in 2011-11-14 umlLiteralSpecification code.
- Don't run OCL when there is a cylce of ownership. Element::allOwnedElements() will get stuck.
2011-11-18:2011-11-16:- Corrected a problem in multi-threading.
2011-11-14:- Corrected a problem where ill-formed XML in profile files caused a server error.
2011-10-14:- Implemented a profile loading capability.
- Implemented new reporting for cycles in the uml:OwnedElement property.
In files where cycles are found, XMI Canonical diffing is not performed.
- Report errors where uml:LiteralSpecification is required but a simple literal
was used in the XMI.
- Removed experimental NIEM capability -- The NIEM profile can be loaded manually
using the new profile loading capability.
2011-08-10:- Experimental NIEM capability.
2011-08-02:- Eliminated a bug in how the object match table referenced object owners.
- Eliminated a bug where derived unions could contain duplicate elements.
- Eliminated a bug where the object browser could give an error when there was
no reference test case file associated with the submitted file.
2011-08-01:- Eliminated a bug where the test case being used was not cleared between runs.
- Force new session object with each validation run.
- Don't start server until Valid TCs are loaded.
2011-07-28:- Eliminated a bug in the XMI diff algorithm.
- Implemented a table identifying difference between the user's file and
the corresponding MIWG test case (where applicable). See 'Table of corresponding objects'
under the heading 'Canonical XMI' on the main report page.
- Corrected text in reporting of differences; provide links appear where appropriate.
2011-07-26:- Eliminated a bug where errors significant enough to halt assessment of the user's file
did not provide information regarding what went wrong.
- Implemented in the object browser a link from the user's object to
the corresponding object in valid.xmi. This is available only when testing
concerns a MIWG test case and the object requested matched an object in valid.xmi.
2011-07-24:- Implemented the revised version of Canonical XMI.
2011-06-23:- Implemented a hybrid model/xml diff capability. Note that:
- Since it uses numerical
scoring of object resemblance, it will require some tuning. Report bugs.
- It is now possible to examine objects from the valid.xmi file as well
as the file you have uploaded. When a valid.xmi object is shown, to avoid confusion,
its title background is light green (very obvious).
- Updated the page describing the unresolved URI error condition and defined page
that lists actual URLs used here.
2011-05-09:2011-05-09:- Eliminated permissive behavior on incorrect URIs for UML 2.3, SysML and the Standard Profile L2.
- Corrected a bug where canonical XMI generation stereotype application base_ objects were referenced
by element content rather than xmi:idref.
- Added checking for duplicate application of a stereotype.
- Corrected bugs with OCL >= and <=.
- Eliminated OCL for Property::multiplicity_of_composite()
2011-04-20:- Removed support for UML 2.1
- UML2.3 only: ActivityNode::node now subsets Element::ownedElement.
- UML2.3 only: ValueSpecificationAction::value now subsets Element::ownedElement.
- UML2.3 only: Stereotype::icon now subsets Element::ownedElement.
- UML2.3 only: Ignored constraint LinkEndData.qualifers().
- UML2.3 only: Made multiplicity of JoinNode::joinSpec (0 1).
- UML2.3 only: Removed faulty derivation of Stereotype.profile and made the
property multiplicity (0 1).
2012-04-02:- Fixed a bug where a program exception would occur if a metamodel defined the lower
bound of a collection to be an unlimited natural.
- 2011-04-01:
- Fixed more bugs in the syntax of xmi:ids of Canonical XMI.
- In test case diff warnings, added a link referencing the implicated model element.
- 2011-03-16:
- Fixed a bug in the syntax of xmi:ids of Canonical XMI.
- Implemented new error reporting for comparision with Canonical XMI.
- Made Pin abstract in all supported UMLs.

- Fixed a problem with reporting of a stereotype-related error.
- 2010-12-13:
- Corrected a problem where unresoved xmi:idrefs caused a program error in
Canonical XMI transformation.
- 2010-12-08:
- Corrected a problem in Canonical XMI transformation where the elementization of
object references did not encode these as xmi:idrefs.
- 2010-11-22:
- Corrected a problem in Canonical XMI generation where LiteralSpecifications were
not provided unique XMI:ids.
- Corrected a problem in Canonical generation where objects with qualified names
that were not unique to their scope were not provided unique XMI:ids.
- Developed a regression test to report where results differed between
the testing of an uploaded file and testing of the canonical file generated
from the uploaded file. Currently, results are identical.
- Corrected several problems in the reading of Canonical XMI.
- Corrected a problem in Canonical generation where xmi:id values outside of the
Model XML Element were not being translated to the canonical values.
- 2010-11-01:
- Modified UML2.2 metamodel pursuant to today's MIWG telecon:
- ActivityEdge.guard given default value True.
- ActivityEdge.weight given default value 1.
- ObjectNode.upperBound given default value *.
- ActivityEventAction.trigger made to subset Element.ownedElement.
- 2010-10-30:
- Added reporting for many types of XML error.
- Fixed a bug where propagating an opposite property would cause a hard error when the object being updated was not of a type possessing the property.
- 2010-10-12:
- Fixed a bug where Canonical XMI ordering was not enforced.
- Removed XMI version from the xmi:XMI element, a requirement of the Canonical spec.
- Fixed a bug where objects were not created for xml elements mistakenly identified
as xmi:id references.
- Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where the strings that were not references to xmi:ids were
mistakenly replaced with the renamed xmi:id string whenever the string happened
to match an xmi:id.
- 2010-09-30:
- Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where the xmi:type attribute was kept when an href was present.
- Fixed several bugs in reading Canonical XMI.
- 2010-09-28:
- Implemented a check for serializing the opposite of a property declared composite.
- Corrected a bug where the XMI shown to explain errors was canonical XMI,
not the uploaded original.
- Colorized some error reporting of user's XMI.
- Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where multi-valued XML attributes where not transformed correctly.
- Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where the XMI:xmi XML element was not serialized.
- Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where XML namespace tags had wrong URIs.
- Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where .qualifiedName was used when that name is a null string.
- Made the Canonical XMI code thread-safe.
- 2010-09-20:
- Various corrections to the (still rough) Canonical XMI implementation.
- 2010-09-19:
- Implemented direct XML transformation for Canonical XMI -- some bugs remain, but it is
good enough for discussion at tomorrow's face-to-face.
- Implemented regression testing against vendor our-export.xmi on trunk.
- 2010-09-10:
- Implemented comparison reporting on the (new) Canonical XMI implementation.
- Implemented a check for serialization of default values.
- Implemented a check for serialization of derived values.
- 2010-09-03:
- Fixed several bugs in experimental Canonical XMI generation.
- Improved profile support.
- 2010-08-05:
- Added experimental capability to generate Canonical XMI. A known problem exists
involving the reference to embedded packages in hrefs.
- Generate a warning report when a stereotype application occurs inside the
XMI element uml:Model.
- Corrected the OCL for InformationFlow::sources_and_targets_kind().
- 2010-06-23:
- Added UML 2.3 support.
- Made a few improvements related to processing speed.
- 2010-06-19:
- Updated SysML profile to version 1.2.
- Corrected a problem where false positives were generated on type checking
(typically very basic types, NamedElement, etc.). The problem occured because
the version of UML used in testing was not the one specified in the user's file.
- Disabled OCL constraint ObjectNode.not_unique. It is not clear what was intended.
- Allowed profile objects inside of uml:Model object.
- Corrected (I think!) OCL of AssociationClass.cannot_be_defined.
- Made Transition.trigger owned by the Transition.
- Various changes to better support profiles and hrefs.
- 2010-01-04:
- Carried over into UML2.2 2009-07-27 fix for RedefinableElement.isRedefinitionContextValid
- Carried over into UML2.2 2009-05-12 fix for NamedElement.qualifiedName.1
- Carried over into UML2.2 2009-05-12 fix for Constraint.value_specification_boolean
- Carried over into UML2.2 the UML 2.1.1 fix (unclear of date) for Property.redefined_property_inherited
- 2009-07-27:
- 2009-05-12:
- 2009-03-22:
- Corrected a problem reported by Ralph Hains where validation details were not being shown.
- Allow reference to http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1.2/uml.xml in XMI.
- Corrected OCL errors in Stereotype.generalize, Extension.non_owned_end,
Pseudostate.outgoing_from_initial and ExecutionSpecification.same_lifeline,
and corrected a problem with packagin interning (found on 'context').
- Removed 'members only' capbilities; these are handled by MIWG.
- Against my principles, I allowed properties that are declared derived but
also have a default value(!) to use that default value when the derivation
is not provided. There are two of these: ExtensionEnd.lower, Message.messageKind.
- I am not sure whether this is a bug in UML, or whether I should have been
able to infer it from metamodel, but: Extension.ownedEnd redefines Association.ownedEnd
and Association.ownedEnd has opposite Property.owningAssociation.
I made Extension.ownedEnd have opposite ExtensionEnd.owningAssociation, and defined
the type of Extension.ownedEnd to be an ExtensionEnd.
- Implemented a prototype object diff capability.
- Corrected a bug in OCL::UnlimitedNatural arithmetic relations.
- Added run-time diagnostic capabilities.
- Added 'instance n of m' in title of instance error reports.
- 2008-08-18:
- Corrected a bug in OCL of derived attribute Classifier.inheritedMember. Execution
was getting stuck in non-progressing recursion among hasVisiblityOf and inheritableMember
(calling each other with no change in arguments).
- Corrected a bug where OCL validation was occurring on every reference to an
object rather than just every object.
- Corrected a bug where operation pre/post condition code was confused with its body.
- Switched to using compiled OCL operations and derivations.
- 2008-08-16:
- Corrected a bug where many opposites were not being
recognized. The bug would have caused spurious 'Missing mandatory value' reports
in some files. Regression testing suggests, however, that this does not occur as often
as I had initially thought.
- Corrected a bug where complete OCL operations that were evaluated to a
string constant (e.g. NamedElement.separator()) were returning nil, not the constant.
- Corrected a bug where 'result' was considered an OCL reserved word, causing some parsing errors.
- 2008-08-01:Added Jonathan Burket's Object Inventory capability.
- 2008-06-18:
- Allow stream type Windows-1252 in XMI, made synonymous with ISO 8859-1.
- Allow http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1(.1)?/uml.(xml|xmi) as a reference to
the entire UML profile.
- Fixed bug in reporting error 'Cannot infer class of object.'
- 2008-04-04:
- Fixed a problem where Profile objects were not themselves being dereferenced
(content was being dereferenced correctly, however).
- Created a UML Standard Profile (by hand). It currently only contains
the stereotype 'Trace,' used by SysML.
- 2008-03-08:Fixed a problem where stereotypes that could extend two or more metaclasses resulted in
an extended metaclass that inherited from all of them.
- 2008-02-18:
- Updated code to use the SysML Profile 20070901 found at
http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/formal/sysml.htm
- Fixed a problem where errors printing several UML Literal types caused problems
in the reporting of example XMI.
- Fixed a problem where (typically stereotyped) objects defined outside of XML scope
of Model were not being collected for reference.
- Fixed a problem where '_0' was not recognized as 'the profile itself' in
references such as 'http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1.1/StandardProfileL2.xmi#_0'
The current workaround is to create an object of type uml:Profile for each
such reference. Whether this will be sufficient remains to be seen.
- Created report details for warning 'No proxy for stereotyping' (N.B. This
warning still needs to be described better, the explantion is not accurate.)
- Created report details for warning 'Referent not found.'
- 2008-01-09: Corrected bugs introduced 2008-01-02 in viewing error report XMI.
- 2008-01-02: Added reporting for two new types of errors arising from faulty OCL: errors calculating derived attributes and errors due to missing derivations. Typical validation results will report many of these, but they should not be
much concern to the Miwg participants. They are tyically due to bugs in the
UML and SysML specs. Their presence makes analysis of the OCL constraints involved impossible.
We aren't providing detailed reporting on these because they probably aren't interesting
to Miwg participants.
- 2007-06-29: OCL correction: Classifier.inheritedMember (derivation)
Was: self.inherit(self.parents()->collect(p | p.inheritableMembers(self)))
Now: self.inherit(self.parents()->select (p | p.inheritableMembers(self)))
Bug reported against UML 2.1.1.
- 2007-05-13: The modification of 2007-03-21 appears to be ill-advised; subsetted properties
should be copied downward regardless of whether the target is a derived union. (More specifically, nothing
in the Infrastructure spec contradicts this). There still may be some loose ends here though. For example,
Class.ownedAttribute is ordered, and not a derived union, but subsetted by ownedPort. Where in the ordered
set are the subsetted properties positioned?
- 2007-05-12: Corrected a problem where knowledge of derived union sources was not
copied to stereotyped (programmatically created) metaclasses.
- 2007-05-12: Changed UML metamodel EncapsulatedClass.ownedPort to non-derived. (No derivation
is provided in the metamodel). Report to UML RTF.
- 2007-05-12: Added a link in the 'Summary of Model Contents' section directly to the model.
- 2007-05-06: Corrected upper-bound multiplicity (generation and declaration)
in the SysML Profile.
- 2007-04-27: Created a members-only area for the miwg.
- 2007-04-26: Corrected a problem where 'Property not found' errors were not reported.
- 2007-04-07: Corrected 23 errors in the OCL of UML around the use of MultiplicityElement.
- 2007-04-06: Upgraded to UML 2.1.1. Fixed a problem with ocl:implies.
(It was evaluating its second argument regardless of value of its first argument.)
- 2007-03-27: Pretty print (indent) XMI showing error instance.
- 2007-03-25: Corrected a problem where sources of derived unions
were not being collected if those sources were derived.
- 2007-03-21: Don't push values downward to 'subsetted-by' properties unless
that 'subsetted-by' property is a derived union.
- 2007-03-16: Improved processing time by ...um, a factor of 100. Moved
error reports for unresolved URI earlier in the reporting sequence.
- 2007-03-14: Provided a solution to the Validator's limitation in referencing
objects in external models/files through XMI href. However, the real problem here is that, in most instances,
there should be normative reference files (e.g. UML StandardLibrary).
To demonstrate a solution (and make some headway with the UPDM Profile) I used
Infrastructure.uml and Superstructure.uml from Eclipse and the Eclipse-specific indexing into those files.
- 2007-03-13: Modified behavior when 'Cannot infer class of object (XMI rule 2g)'
is apparent so that it defaults to the choose the base class for the property. It still warns, though,
as it should.
- 2007-01-27: Removed duplicate OCL violations from reporting.
- 2006-12-10: Added a link from Object Browser pages to the Class Browser page
of the type of object shown.
- 2006-12-10: Use anchored text on OCL constraint names in Validator report
(OCL constraint violation reporting).
It links to the Class Browser position where the OCL constraint is displayed.
- 2006-12-10: Corrected the implementation of oclType().
BTW
oclType() is apparently an OCL Library function (used in MMs such as L3) but not defined
in OCL Version 2! - 2006-12-09: When the spec does not provide a function to compute a
derived property, it is so noted in the 'Missing mandatory value' error report.
There are currently 20 such properties. They are:
Action.context, Activity.structuredNode, Behavior.context, Class.extension, Class.superClass, ConnectorEnd.definingEnd, ExtensionEnd.lower, Message.messageKind, Message.signature, OpaqueExpression.result, Package.nestedPackage, Package.ownedStereotype, Package.ownedType, Parameter.default, Port.provided, Port.required, Property.default, ProtocolTransition.referred, RedefinableTemplateSignature.inheritedParameter, StructuredClassifier.part. - 2006-12-09: Added links to the error explanations from the 'summary of warnings' section
of the validation report page
- 2006-12-09: Corrected problem where default values (from MM definitions) were not
being set
- 2006-11-18: Implemented derived properties. In the past, certain 'Missing Mandatory
Value Violation' errors were in fact due to the Validator not being able to compute the property from
the OCL. Unfortunately, the UML spec does not provide OCL for all of the properties that are
declared derived. A future fix will report when a Multiplicity Violation was the spurious
result of the absence of the OCL definition that would provide the value. Another fix will
define that OCL ;^)
- 2006-11-13: Corrected a problem where the type given to stereotyped objects was
in some cases wrong.
- 2006-11-10: Corrected a problem finding SysML objects in XMI.
- 2006-11-09: Validation is now performed on all objects, not just those with an xmi:id.
- 2006-11-09: Reporting now includes statistics on how many of the 39 SysML
stereotypes were applied. (called 'SysML classes instantiated')
- 2006-06-06: Began development.
UML+Profile Class Browser Changes
- 2008-08-17 Class Browser now tracks OCL modifications and editor notes. See
the section of this page, Current Status of OCL
- 2008-03-08:
- Specialized Class Browser pages that concerned stereotypes so that
they didn't contain heading for content inappropriate for stereotypes.
- Fixed a problem where asking for property detail in the Object Browser
resulted in a server error.
- Added a list of 'example objects' to the Class Browser pages.
The examples are presented in cases where you have uploaded an XMI file containing objects of
the class being presented.
- 2008-03-08 Fixed problem where 'red triangle' link not showing in IE.
- 2007-04-28: Fixed problem where 'red triangle' link not showing in IE.
- 2007-04-11: Fixed new problem where URLs to SysML stereotypes were wrong. Added Expresso page.
- 2007-04-06: Upgraded to UML 2.1.1.
- 2007-03-25: Provide the same slot details in the object browser as is presented in
the class browser.
- 2007-03-23: List the sources of a derived union in the details of the property.
- 2006-12-10: Show default values in property details.
- 2006-12-09: When the spec does not provide a function to compute a
derived property, it is so noted in the property details. (See the Validator changelog entry
of this date for a list of these properties.)
- 2006-11-10: Fixed parentage of UML Standard Profile Stereotype uml:Trace.
- 2006-11-06: Class description pages that describe classes from the
SysML Profile now have titles that read 'SysML Stereotype foo' etc.
- 2006-11-06: The Class Browser now appends a '*' after the name of
every class listed on the Class Browser main page that names a SysML object
(all others are part of UML).
- 2006-06-06: Begin development.
Current Status of the Validator's OCL
The Validator uses the UML's metamodel OCL constraints and operations wherever possible, of course.
However, there are bugs in that OCL. In order to make the OCL evaluation
performed by the Validator more meaningful, and also to suggest
improvements to the OCL to the UML standard writers, this tool uses
modified OCL in some places. In other places, where it isn't clear what the solution should be,
I haven't attempted to write a solution. Finally, there is OCL in UML and SysML I probably could write,
but haven't yet.
Rewritten OCL
The following are constraints and operations that were rewritten to fix a bug. The page at the link
describes the changes made.
'Ignored' OCL
The following are constraints and operations that are 'ignored.' An 'ignored' constraint
returns ocl:true always. An 'ignored' operation typically returns Set{}.
The page at the link describes the changes made.
