Hi

I have my grammar which looks like this :

.......
.............

DataType2:
'DataType2' name=ID
'{'
'DataTypeRef' DataTypeRef = ( BasicType | OwnType )
'}';
.......

BasicType : Basic8 | Basic16 | BasicBool ;

Basic8 :{Basic8 } "unit9";
Basic16 :{Basic16 } "unit18";
BasicBool :{BasicBool} "boolean";

OwnTypes : referenced=[TypeX| QualifiedName];

TypeX: BasicDataType;

.................
..................

Now when user can write a file with the above data :

DataType2 abc {
DataTypeRef unit18 //(here i get a dropdown with values "unit9,unit18,bool" )
}

till here everything is fine ...:)

............................

now I want to fetch the "unit8" from the file in my back-end.
How to get this value from the user file, as I am not able to fetch the value from the object?

Hi,

i do not understand your question.

myDataType2.getDataTypeRef() should give you an instance of Basic16

i dont understand what you mean. do you have multiple different Basic16 ?
if not the mapping is 1:1

if yes you should have a different grammar e.g.

Basic16 :{Basic16 } value="unit18";
