Hi buddies,
I am able to follow the procedure explained in the link below and write successfully a Value Converter for a ecore::EInt datatype.
_ttp://www.scispike.com/blog/xtext-valueconverter/
However i have a case in which I would like to call a backend converter to convert string in the rule to the EMF EClass Object.
CustomEClass is EClass from my custom EMF Ecore model.
Below are the Xtext Rules:
CustomEClass_RULE returns CustomEClass:
{CustomEClass}
('BoolVal' VALID_STRING ('true'|'false')) |
('FloatVal' VALID_STRING REAL_NUM) |
('IntVal' VALID_STRING SIGNED_INT)
;
terminal VALID_STRING: (('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'|'_') ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'|'_'|'0'..'9')*);
UNSIGNED_INT: (('0'|'1'|'2'|'3'|'4'|'5'|'6'|'7'|'8'|'9')+);
SIGNED_INT: ('-'?UNSIGNED_INT);
REAL_NUM: (SIGNED_INT '.' UNSIGNED_INT);
Class Registering converter (MyTerminalConverters.java):
public class MyTerminalConverters
extends DefaultTerminalConverters
implements IValueConverterService {
@Inject
private CustomEClassConverter customEClassConverter;
@ValueConverter(rule = "CustomEClass_RULE")
public IValueConverter<CustomEClass> CustomEClassConverter() {
return customEClassConverter;
}
...
...
}
Value Converter class (customEClassConverter.java)
@Singleton
public class customEClassConverter implements IValueConverter<customEClass> {
@Override
public customEClass toValue(String string, INode node) throws ValueConverterException {
System.exit(1);
if (Strings.isEmpty(string)) {
throw new ValueConverterException("Numerical value can not be empty string", node, null);
} else {
try {
customEClass retVal = myEmfFactory.eINSTANCE.createcustomEClass();
//TODO: retVal.setType(...) based on input "string"
//TODO: retVal.setValue(...) based on input "string"
return retVal;
} catch (NumberFormatException e1) {
throw new ValueConverterException("Couldn't convert '"+string+"' to Double/Floating Point Value ", node, null);
}
}
}
@Override
public String toString(customEClass value) throws ValueConverterException {
return null;
}
}
There is no problem in xtext generation and also in building the code, however In the runtime customEClassConverter is not being called for converting the user input string to customEClass type object.
Best Regards,
Venkata
