Hi all,
I really don't know if this is the best group to post this question,
but since the closing of the eclipse.modelling.gmt, I don't know which
is the best group for posting it. I apologise in advance, in case this
is not the right group.
My problem is to find the right syntax for writing an expression in
which an enumeration is involved. Let's suppose you have the following
piece of metamodel described by means of KM3:
class ClassA {
attribute field: FieldType;
};
enum FieldType {
literal VALUE_A;
literal VALUE_B;
literal VALUE_C;
};
I'm trying to write a MOFScript rule to test the value stored in the
attribute field, writing something similiar to this piece of code:
metamodel.Class::method(){
if (self.field = VALUE_A){
//do something
}
}
But MOFScript does not recognize the literal VALUE_A. I also have tried
to change VALUE_A for FieldType.VALUE_A, but it doesn't work either.
The only way I have found for not having compilation errors, is the
following:
if (self.field = 0){
//do something
}
Does anybody know how to use the literals instead of the stored values
in an enumeration?
Thanks,
Toñi Reina

I have just found that literals in enumerations are treated as Strings,
so the expression has to be the following one:
if (self.field = "VALUE_A"){
//do something
}
