Accessing EMF model EEnum isSetX() in template [message #31779]

Hi,

Is it possible (aside from creating a custom jet tag or xpath function) to
access/call/retrieve the value of the ESet property or isSetX() method of
an EObject that has an EAttribute X of type EEnum? In my ecore, I already
have Unsettable to true, and I want to determine in the JET template
whether the attribute was set or unset.

Thanks,
Francis

Francis:

JET's XPath engine respects eIstSet(), and if this returns false, XPath
expressions referencing attribute should behave as if the attribute is not
there. So, the following should work to test if you attribute is set or
not...

<c:if test="$yourEObject/@yourEAttributeName" >
... done if yourEObject.getYourEAttributeName().eIsSet() is true ...
</c:if>

<c:if test="not( $yourEObject/@yourEAttributeName )" >
... done if yourEObject.getYourEAttributeName().eIsSet() is false ...
</c:if>

Thanks Paul, this will save me a lot of time. I thought it was different
for enums, but I should have tried it first :-)
