Dynamic Expand [message #378041] Mon, 21 May 2007 07:25 Go to next message

Hello All

I am new to oAW ... but its really nice to use Expand..
Now i am stuck with a Problem ... i have some Processing to be done on my
data before i put it into a file using xPand. These processing statements
can be changed by the user ...

I earlier did this using xTend scripts calling a Java File. But if i
change the java file i need to everytime compile it and regenerate my RCP.

Now my user doesnt want to recompile the java file everytime he changes
it. I then realised that i could put my logical statements inside expand
itself.

Now my doubt is .. is this the right place to put the processing
statements or is there any recommended place where i should place and
access them in oAW.

Looking forward for a reply .. if i am not clear please do ask me i would
try to explain again ...

regards
Malai

Hi Malai,

I'm not sure if I understood what you want to do, but
maybe you should try to do it with aspects (Xtend and Xpand support AOP).
See the reference documentation for details.
