Scoping query [message #1696587]

Hi All,

My model looks something like this:

name MyClass
import MyClass2

Entity entity1 {
.... some definition

}

ImportAndExport IandE {

imports [entity2]
exports [entity1]

}

My root node (namespace ) will be written at the top.

Apart from that I have defined two more rules, one for Entity and one more for ImportAndExport .

When I want to refer elements from other files then we either import namespace at the top and write element names directly (i.e. entity2 referred directly here) or we import it with namespace, something like MyClass2.entity2.

Now My requirement is I want to add scoping to the ImportAndExport but not the namespace.

So say that , entity2 is exported in:

ImportAndExport IandE2 {

imports [entity3]
exports [entity2]

}

And hence whenever I refer it in other files I want to refer it as IandE2.entity2 but not MyClass2.entity2.

How can I achieve this ?

Thanks for any help Smile

is this exporting thing a local (same file as declaration) thing or a global one?

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your reply.
I actually want it for global. (It may or may not be in the same file).

Thanks and regards,
Arshad

Hi,

if you want to change how stuff is indexed you have to adapt DefaultResourceDescriptionStrategy (you may need to use the node model to find out the cross ref text). for local refs you have to adapt ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider

HI Christian,

Thanks a lot for the info.

Can we create 2 EObjectDescriptions for one EObject ?

I mean to say, In my previous example, I should be able to refer entity2 as MyClass2.entity2 and IandE2.entity2 as well.

Is it the usual case ?

Regards,
Arshad
