Transformations between enums in QVTo [message #874933]

Hi,

I have a basic doubt about how can I make transformations between Enumerations,
e.g,
my source metamodel has a enum A with literals "a1" and "a2" and my target has a enum B with literals "b1" and "b2".

mapping A::A2B() : B{
B::b1 := A::a1; //It doesnt work
B2 := self.a2; //And it also doesnt work
}

So, how can I make this transformation correctly?

Thanks.

Hi

Try writing a Java Enum to Enum mapping and then you'll understand why
what you've written is daft.

query SOURCE::A::toExt() : TARGET::B
{
return switch {
case (self = SOURCE::A::a1) TARGET::B::b1;
case (self = SOURCE::A::a2) TARGET::B::b2;
else assert error (false) with log("Illegal enum value");
}
}

That's how I usually do it. In your mapping you can then just type

dstEnumAttrib := self.srcEnumAttrib.toExt();

I'm sure the "assert error" thing can be optimized, but I don't know how
and it works that way for me.

Thanks Marius, I used that query for my enums and it works perfectly Smile

I was wrong trying to create a mapping to transform enums.
Thanks again
