[Acceleo] Getting object's textual reference [message #1767217]

Hey,

I'm creating a Ecore to (a customized) XML file conversor using Acceleo. However, some references in my XML file need to maintain the same kind of reference text which is in the Ecore file.

For example, I have a ecore file as follows:
<refinements xsi:type="gore:AwReq" name="A3" target="//@refinements.0">
<strategies xsi:type="eca:RelaxReplaceChildStrategy" name="'RelaxReplaceChildStrategy'" requirement="//@refinements.0" newRequirement="//@refinements.3"/>
</refinements>

I want to have the same string as in target, requirement or newRequirement variables. So my new XML file would be, for instance:
<newFormatedLine name="..." target="//@newFormatedLine.0">

But in acceleo I can only get the objects class reference, not its textual reference. Do someone can help me in this (apparently) simple task?

Thanks.

Hi

Acceleo is an M2T tool. The references are part of the M serialization of an object reference. If you need those in your output perhaps you should be using an M2M tool. But if you really want them you can use an Acceleo invoke to access routines such as EcoreUtil.getURI, and URI.resolve.

Hi Ed, thanks for helping!

Actually, I noticed that the reference in the generated file has to be based on the lines of that new file. So now I have no clue on how I can do this, do you have any ideia?

Tnks,

Hi

As I wrote before, it looks like you are dealing with a model rather than text and so should use an M2M tool.

Hi,

Didn't realize you had double-posted. My answer can be found on your other post but as Ed suggests, you might want to look into using a proper model-to-model tool instead of model-to-text such as Acceleo.
