Accessing a "guard" field in a model [message #482065]

Tue, 25 August 2009 06:10

Eclipse User

Hi,

I need to access a field with the name "guard" in a model (e.g. var
foo := t.guard).
Unfortunately, "guard" seems to be a reserved keyword in Epsilon and
when running the Epsilon I got an error.
Any idea on how I could access this field directly?

Cheers,
Osmar

Hi Osmar,

var foo := t."guard"; should do the job.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi,

After migrating to version 0.8.8 of Epsilon I have found that item."message" is not valid anymore.

Which is the right way to access to the attributes that have the same name as specific expressions of evl?

Best regards,
Héctor Iturria

This is the same problem Bak describes in

with a proposed solution.

try item.~message

Héctor,

Since 0.8.8, the correct syntax is:

item.`message`

This change was introduced to make EOL's syntax more like Java's. Full details can be found here:

Enrico,

The tilde prefix is used to access "extended" properties of a model element. Extended properties are used to attach some kind of information (that is not supported by the metamodel) to particular model elements. Until now, we've been using Maps to achieve this (similarly to what we've done above).

A more thorough discussion of extended properties is available here:

I'll also post this information on the other thread you mention. Thanks!

Best,
Louis.
