JET root package not accessible [message #62385]

Hello everybody,

I try to use JET to generate a lot of files with few templates.

I want to use the JET2Context object to retrieve the base EPackage of my
ecore file in order to do some special computing.

Here my code
....
context.logInfo(context.getVariable("ePackage").toString());
EPackage p = (EPackage)context.getVariable("ePackage");

String riri= PackageUtils.getRiri(p);
context.setVariable("riri", riri);
....
<ws:project name="{$riri}">
....

Here the output of the logInfo call:

[org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EPackageImpl@1b1ba1b (name: model) (nsURI:
http://com.dede.toto/model/1.0, nsPrefix: com.dede.toto)]

The "ePackage" node is really a EPackage but the cast of the second line
EPackage p = (EPackage) send a ClassCastExeption...

Have you an idea to solve this problem...

I will send the toString content of the Epackage to my method and parse
it but it's quite ugly ...

Thank you

Bordes:

The result of many XPath expression is a 'NodeSet' which is a subinterface
of Set. Look carefully at the output of your logging, and notice the
surrounding [ and ] characters - typically an indication that a Collection
is being printed.

I'd make the following changes:

EPackage p =
(EPackage)((java.util.Collection)context.getVariable("ePackage ")).iterator.next());

Thank you Paul, it works !!

I didn't notice that NodeSetImpl implements NodeSet which extends Set
then Collection ...

You omit a (): here the correct line for people stuck like me
EPackage p =
(EPackage)((java.util.Collection)context.getVariable("ePackage ")).iterator().next();

Indeed I didn't pay attention to the open and close [] of the toString
output

Perhaps it this small trick should be added to the JET documentation...

Finally I start to appreciate JET :D it's quite powerful but hard to write
