hi all,
ATL do not allow to navigate over the target model. But if i created
multiple different target elements (A1, .. ,Ai, .. An)from one source
element (S), i need to set correct references to this elements, so how
it can be done?
When i define the reference with the type to the S then it is always
transformed to one specific Ai. It is not possible to use
resolveTemp()-method because all Ai are constructed using one target
pattern. I thought to create my own tracing within the transformation,
but perhaps there is "better" solution.
thanks
regars,
Yury Kornev

the question is how to get the reference to the one specific target
element (that was created through the lazy rule or distinct-foreach)
from the set of elements matched to one source element,e.g
from ob : MOF!EClass
to t1 : MOF!EClass(...)
do {
for (iterate in sequence) {
Lazyrule(ob);
}
}
Lazyrule{
to t : MOF!EClass (...)
}
if i undestood right, ATL engine traces all target elements, in this
case it provides only one reference (to t1)
but what happens to the elements initialized through the Lazyrule?

Are you sure you didn't meed Lazyrule(iterate)? Or did you really want
to create |sequence| number of EClasses from ob?
Anyway, you can do this by decorating the source model with the target
elements you're creating, using a combination of helper and called rule.
Like this: (using your example, creating many target elements from same
source element)
helper context MOF!EClass def:
derived : Sequence(MOF!EClass) =
self.sequence->collect(i |
thisModule.CalledRule(self)
);
rule CalledRule(source : MOF!EClass) {
to t : MOF!EClass (...)
}
Then any time you need to get any of the created objects, you can just
access the derived collection.
Did I understand your problem correctly?
