integrate xtext with a webapplication [message #1613870]

Hi,

Based on the samples and examples in this site and other sites, does xtext works closely with eclipse?

I have a requirement where I get a DSL query like "GET * WHERE CUSTOMER MAILING ZIP IS '50001") from a representative facing web application. I have a middle ware application which takes incoming requests and my questions are

1) how to validate inbound DSL query against the language/grammar?
2) Can my xtext project be made as a jar and use it with in the application to validate query?

Can someone share examples on similar or much better approach with our without using Xtext

if you don't need syntax highlighting, content assist etc. but just parsing you could directly use antlr.

Hi,

I use the Xtext generated core-bundle in a plain java application (even
outside OSGi) running on the command line.

You can see it at
http://git.eclipse.org/c/efxclipse/org.eclipse.efxclipse.git/tree/bundles/tooling/org.eclipse.fx.ide.fxml.compiler/src/org/eclipse/fx/ide/fxml/compiler/FXGraphCompiler.java

Does you server application run in an OSGi-Env? If yes then it is even
simpler because things will be setup automatically for you.
