Using either globalvardef or property in both workflow and Xpand [message #521991]

I want to generate Java code, and packages.

I know how to use a property to create the package when generating.
I know how to use a globalvardef in my XPand template, via Xtend.

But I'd like to use only one value, either a globalvar or a property in both my workflow and my Xpand template (or Xtend).

How can I do that ?

Regards,

Maxime

without using globalvar this could look like this

...
<property name="package" value="thepackage" />
...
<expand value="template::Template::main('${package}') FOR model" />

«DEFINE main(String package) FOR Model»
«EXPAND javaClass(package) FOREACH entities()»
«ENDDEFINE»

«DEFINE javaClass(String package) FOR Entity»
	«FILE package+"/"+name+".java"»

using globalvars it would look like

<globalVarDef name="package" value="'thepackage'"/>

«DEFINE javaClass FOR Entity»
	«FILE ((String) GLOBALVAR package)+"/"+name+".java"»

you should find both in the docs

How can I assign a value to this global variable? I want to do something like:

..
«FOREACH this.Coordinates AS coordinate»
  	(«this.x»,«this.y»)
  	«GLOBALVAR prevc = coordinate»
«ENDFOREACH»
..

where of course the global variable prevc has been defined in the workflow as

globalVarDef = {
  name = 'prevc'
}
