[JET2] Iterating through the elements of an EList in an EMF model [message #56561]

Hello,

I've got an EClass with a method "EList<State> getValidStates()".
State is defined as "public enum State implements Enumerator".

I would like to iterate on the State contained in the EList in the JET
templates.

I tried this:

<c:iterate select="$element/validStates" var="validState">
<c:get select="$validState" />
</c:iterate>

but it doesn't work.

Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks in advance.

Youmm:

JET's XPath engine uses EMFs reflective APIs. It only sees
EStructuralFeature implementations (EReferences and EAttributes). I
currently does not do reflection on the actual Java class for methods that
are not declared in the ECore model.

Is there an EReference or an EAttribute declaration of validSates ?

No, the EList values are dynamically created by the getValidStates function.

Youmm:

I think your best choice is to drop into Java code...

a) Make sure your JET project has a dependency on the plug-in defining the
Ecore model. (Open plugin.xml or META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, and go to the
Dependencies tab)

b) Add imports for the classes your template was to access

<%-- import the classes you'll need --%>
<%@jet import="a.b.c.YourElement a.b.c.State" %>
<%@jet import="org.eclipse.jet.XPathContextExtender" %>

c) get the JET variable as a Java variable. Assuming $element is the JET
variable containing EObject:

<%
YourElement element =
(YourElement)XPathContext.getInstance(context).resolveAsObje ct(null, "$element");
%>

d) Write the Java scriptlet

<% for(State state : element.getValidStates() ) { %>
.... template content <%= state.toString %>
<% } %>
