Hi,

we need to call java code during a transformation to determine the value
of some attributes. It seems to be generally possible but the solution
suggested in
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.m2m/m sg00519.html
looks pretty wild considering that this probably is not an usual use case?
Since it the post dates to 2007 and i can't seem to find any updates on
that topic i would like to know if there have been enhancements to the atl
environment covering this topic?

Thanks a lot in advance for any replies!

Philipp

Hi,

What you can do is to define EOperation in your ecore model. Then use the
EMF code generator to get Java classes for your model. Now you can add
external method calls in methods corresponding to the EOperation.
You have to launch your transformation from Java code with the EMF VM
launcher.
In your transformation, you simply call EOperation like this
object.methodName() and it will execute your java code.

Regards,
Guillaume.

Thanks alot for that explanation. While qvt's blackbox mechanism would
somehow be more desireable i guess the two mentioned ways will somehow
give us a way to do what we desire :).

Thanks again,
Philipp
