[Xtend] Using EEnum Literals within Xtend expressions [message #545947] Fri, 09 July 2010 12:40 Go to next message

So in my Ecore metamodel (Name / Ns Prefix "hl_dsp_pimm_02") I have an EEnum called "DataType".
It has "EEnum Literals" such as "Float", "Sint16", etc.

I require access to these enum literals within my Xtend model transformation.
That is I have an expression such as
let someDataType = hl_dsp_pimm_02::DataType::SINT16 :


When I try to run my workflow, I get the following exception ...
EvaluationException : Couldn't find enum literal or type 'hl_dsp_pimm_02::DataType::SINT16'

... even though I have imported hl_dsp_pimm_02 in my Xtend file, and even though I can work with any other meta model elements such as my hl_dsp_pimm_02's EClasses, EReferences etc.

Any ideas on how to access EEnum literals?
Thank you all once again!

Hello,

which version of xpand/xtend do you use? i tried it with 1.0.0
and something like

<<this.attr == mypackage::MyEnum::MyEnumLiteralName>>

works. But note MyEnumLiteralName is the Name attribute of the eenumliteral and not the Literal attribute

Regards
Christian

Hello Christian,

thank you very much, it seems that your hint solved my problem!

The problem was I used
hl_dsp_pimm_02::DataType::SINT16
where I should have used
hl_dsp_pimm_02::DataType::Sint16


... That is, you mustn't use the spelling as hinted in the enum type of the auto-generated Java file (SINT16), but you have to use the same case-sensitive writing of the EEnum Literal as written in its "name" property (Sint16).
