The Object Constraint Language: Getting Your Models
Ready for MDA, Second Edition
by Jos Warmer, Anneke Kleppe
ISBN: 0-321-17936-6,
240 Pages, August 2003

This book
is a practical, accessible guide to Object
Constraint Language (OCL) for
software architects, designers, and developers. Much care has
been taken during the redesign of OCL
to ensure that the syntax remains readable and writable by the
average software modeler. The Object
Constraint Language, Second
Edition, utilizes a case study to show how to exercise
these compact but powerful expressions for maximum effect.

This newly
updated edition also: - Explains why
OCL is critical to
MDA-and why UML alone
is not enough; - Introduces an SQL-like
syntax to OCL; - Defines the new
language constructs of OCL 2.0; -
Demonstrates how OCL can be
incorporated into code; - Shares tips and tricks for applying
OCL to real-world modeling
challenges-showing which can be solved with
UML and which require
OCL

Using a combination of
UML and OCL allows
developers to realize the effective, consistent, and coherent
models that are critical to working with
MDA The authors' pragmatic approach and
illustrative use of examples will help application developers
come quickly up to speed with this important object-modeling
method--and will serve as a ready reference thereafter.
