Hello all,
how could I reach Author and editor from the root in acceleo templates without adding any additional relationships????

index.php/fa/38039/0/

I wrote a template which receives root and after that it just possible to get person, not author or editor

If anyone could help, I will appreciate!!!

thanks,
Maryam

Hi

Look at the documentation of oclIsTypeOf / oclIsKindOf

Hi Ed
thank you for your response. I read the tutorials for oclIsTypeOf/KindOf but I couldn't understand how it could be helpful. May I ask you to tell me using an example? (I'm new in acceleo)

Thanks
maryam

Hi

Well presumably if we translate "I wrote a template which receives root and after that it just possible to get person, not author or editor" into more formal English we get

select all root's persons that are not of type Author or Editor.

root.persons->select(not oclIsKindOf(Author) and not oclIsKindOf(Editor))
root.persons->reject(oclIsKindOf(Author) or oclIsKindOf(Editor))

and perhaps although oclIsTypeOf is usually a typo, and I suspect it is a typo here too, but it is what you asked for.

root.persons->select(oclIsTypeOf(Person))

Regards

Ed thank you a lot for your quick response, I got it and it works. You save my time :-)

And one more question. Now if we have an attribute for example 'phone' in Author, How could we reach it's value (I mean the value user enter as phone number)??!

Best
Maryam

Hi

Either I do not answer your question, or it is so banal that it is not worth answering.

Sorry. I now consider you to be a hostile SPAMmer.

Sorry, I didn't want to make spam. Maybe I should ask my question in another topic in a better way because I think it is not banal. Anyway thanks for your previous help.
