Retrieving a stereotype'S property with a static profile [message #478482] Wed, 03 June 2009 11:36 Go to next message

Hey all,

what is the common way to retrieve a property value of a stereotype from
a staric profile?

I assumed, because of the additional code generation step, it had to be
something like this:

Weight w = (Weight)element.getAppliedStereotype(Misc::Weight);
w.getWeight();

But that causes a ClassCastException. I searched in the newsgroup, but i
didn't found the solution yet.

Regards Timothy

I'm using the following construct (since I use a lot of stereotypes):

public static ExecutionList isExecutionList(Class e) {
return isRCOSSt(ExecutionList.class,e); }

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
private static <M> M isRCOSSt(java.lang.Class<M> stClass, Element e) {
assert(e != null);
Stereotype st =
e.getAppliedStereotype("rCOS::"+stClass.getSimpleName());
if (st == null) return null;
else return (M)e.getStereotypeApplication(st); }

(sorry for the formatting).

ExecutionList is a stereotype I defined for Class. Jumping through the
hoop with the Class<M> ensures that any disappearing classes in the
generated code for the static profile lead to an immediate compilation
error.

If you introduce a common (abstract) superclass for your stereotypes,
you can get even more type safety by stating M extends Super.

Hope this helps,
Volker
