[ATL] Getting the text of a xml element [message #42897]

Hi all,

I'm working on the transformation of a XML-based model. Is there a way
to get the text value of a XML element / tag? I need this value so set
attribute value of my target model.

I used the XML Injector to get an ecore-based instance from my source
XML model. My helper to get the text looks like this:

helper context XML!Element def: getText() : String =
self.children->select(e | e.oclIsKindOf(XML!Text))->first();

This work fine so far but now I don't know how to get the text value.
Could anyone help?

Greetings

Erik

Hi Erik,

You can access the value of any XML!Node (or subclasses) using the
attribute "value".

For more details, see the XML metamodel available in the Zoo
(http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/am3/zoos/atlanticZoo/#XML).
