Hi,

According to the MOF Model to Text Transformation
Language, v1.0 standard, I should be able to avoid writing a for loop by invoking a template on a collection.

So assume I defined:

[template genFoo(p: Foo)]
foo
[/template]


and suppose that 's' represents a collection of Foo. Then,

[genFoo(s)/] 


should result in invocation of genFoo for each element of 's' if I'm right.

It seems to me that this is not (yet) implemented in Acceleo or am I doing something wrong?

Greetings,
Wilbert


PS: from the standard:

8.1.10 TemplateInvocation
A template invocation specifies one or more invocations of a template. An argument of a template invocation is specified
by an expression that could evaluate either to a single value or a set of values. The rules for determining which template
to invoke and how many times are as follows:


  • The types of arguments should match the types of the corresponding parameters. An argument type matches the parameter type when the latter is either the same type or a super type. If the argument is a set and the parameter is a singleton, then the template is invoked for each member of the set.

Hi Wilbert,

In your case, you should use this syntax: [s.genFoo()/].
The syntax "[genFoo(s)/]" is not supported for a collection if the template/query does not apply to a collection.
