[XPand] How does mwe workflow engine find custom components? [message #881363]

Hello everyone,

I'm running a *.mwe-workflow from inside my program. This workflow contains several custom components, therefore classes which extend "org.eclipse.emf.core.lib.AbstractWorkflowComponent".

I have two such workflow component classes (in two different independent eclipse projects!) which accidentally share the same qualified name, but do different things since they are related to different projects.

Now, when I'm running the workflow, it seems that the workflow runner always chooses the same component class, regardless of which of the two projects is executed.

Which brings me to my questions:
- How does the workflow executor find the custom workflow component classes? Where does it look first?
- Can the search space be narrowed down, e.g. to the contents of a single project?

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan,

the classes are resolved through the Classpath, so it depends on the order in the Classpath which class will be picked first.
