[ATL] random function available? [message #69868]

Hi,

I wonder if there is a random() function available in ATL since I need this in a program for work.
An alternative would be to post-process the output in Java (e.g. substituting strings 'RANDOM' with a random value).

Thanks,
Rene

You can modify the ATL VM engine to add a random function or you can add an EOperation in your meta-model that you will call in the ATL code.

I don't know how to use EOperation... can I define a EOperation that calls a java method like random in MAth class??

Yes of course. EOperation are EMF things. Watch for the corresponding documentation.

ok...I defined an EOperation on my mm.... but now...I'm working on ecore in input metamodel and I guess I have to call s.refInvokeOperation(p.name, Sequence{}); ...
if i print s.eoperations i receive the right operation name...but if i try to call it i receive an error:
org.eclipse.m2m.atl.engine.emfvm.VMException: Operation getRandom not found on EClass

do you know why??

i defied correctly (i think) the eoperation...generated model code... defined the body of the Impl of the eoperation with my function...but:

Operation getRandom not found on C
