Very nice post. I never read before about validating OCL in PHP. If you are interested in going forward with this topic, one of the main problems you´ll need to face is how to implement the validation in the most efficient way possible (i.e. on each function you should only check the constraints that can be affected by the modifications performed during the execution of that particular function).

I did a full PhD Thesis on this topic. A summary with some ideas that you could use to provide an efficient implementation of your OCL validation was published in Jordi Cabot, Ernest Teniente: Incremental Integrity Checking of UML/OCL Conceptual Schemas. Journal of Systems and Software, vol 82, issue 9, pp. 1459-1478. Read it online here: http://jordicabot.com/papers/JSS09.pdf

I played around with something very similar to this in Argil for controlling how models worked. I played the constraints on the properties themselves in the form of an annotation:

/**
* @is string
*/
/**
* @greaterThan 0
*/

etc, etc. That works extremely nicely and allows you to develop your models independent of the framework. Until this post, however, I’ve yet to see anything resembling it coded in PHP.
