Class UML 2.4.1::StringExpression
Description:
An expression that specifies a string value that is derived by concatenating
a set of sub string expressions, some of which might be template parameters.

ElementConstraints:
Signature: subexpressions() : Boolean;
Description: If a StringExpression has sub-expressions, it cannot have operands and
vice versa (this avoids the problem of having to define a collating sequence
between operands and subexpressions).
The OCL used here is not normative.Editor's notes: missing endif
Expression: if subExpression->notEmpty() then operand->isEmpty() else operand->notEmpty() endif
Original: if subExpression->notEmpty() then operand->isEmpty() else operand->notEmpty()
Signature: operands() : Boolean;
Description: All the operands of a StringExpression must be LiteralStrings
Expression: operand->forAll (op | op.oclIsKindOf (LiteralString))
Operations:
Signature: stringValue() : String;
Description: The query stringValue() returns the string that concatenates, in order,
all the component string literals of all the subexpressions that are part
of the StringExpression.
The OCL used here is not normative.Editor's notes: iterate not iterate().
Expression: result = if subExpression->notEmpty()
then subExpression->iterate(se; stringValue = '' | stringValue.concat(se.stringValue()))
else operand->iterate(op; stringValue = '' | stringValue.concat(op.value)) endif
Original: result = if subExpression->notEmpty() then subExpression->iterate(se; stringValue = | stringValue.concat(se.stringValue())) else operand->iterate()(op; stringValue = | stringValue.concat(op.value))
