[Acceleo] Why Activity node get executed in a template that accepts only Class Type ? [message #986045]

Hello,
I have an uml diagram made with Topcased 5.2. The uml contains Class diagram and Activity Diagram.
I wrote a template to generate java classes that accepts a parameter of a Class type.

The java classes were generated but in addition my method get executed for Activity node. How can prevent execution of Activity node?

Following my template:

[template public generateEntity(c : Class)]
[comment @main /]
[file (c.getEntityFullPathFile().trim(), false)]
[c.generateEntity()/]
[/file]
[/template]

Thanks for your help

Hi,

This has been answered on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13438388/activity-node-get-executed-in-a-template-that-accepts-only-class-type .

Basically, an Activity -is- a Class, the template must be guarded to avoid generating on -some- Classes :

[template public generateEntity(c : Class) ? (not c.oclIsKindOf(Activity))]

Isn't it better to write:

[template public generateEntity(c : Class) ? (c.oclIsTypeOf(Class))]

to get only "true" classes? It filters out also OpaqueBehaviors, Interactions etc.
