I have a grammar like:

grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

import "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" as ecore

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl/MyDsl"

Model:
greetings+=Greeting*;

Greeting:
'Hello' name=ID '!'
'Person:'value=ConstantValue;

ConstantValue:
value=(BooleanType | NullObjectType );

NullObjectType returns ecore::EJavaObject:
NULL_CONSTANT;

BooleanType returns ecore::EBoolean:
BOOLEAN_CONSTANT;

terminal BOOLEAN_CONSTANT returns ecore::EBoolean:
'true' | 'false';

terminal NULL_CONSTANT:
'null';

----------------

The above grammar shows errors, at the rule ConstantValue.

Seems like this could be because of the individual data type rules used within, each of which return different types.

Could someone advice how this can be handled in xtext2.0?

Thanks

Hi,

there is not type the value can be of => you have to split the constant up

ConstantValue: BooleanValue | NullValue;

BooleanValue: value=BooleanType;

NullValue: value=NullObjectType;
