[Acceleo] Getting object's textual reference [message #1767218]

Hey,

I'm creating a Ecore to (a customized) XML file conversor using Acceleo. However, some references in my XML file need to maintain the same kind of reference text which is in the Ecore file.

For example, I have a ecore file as follows:
<refinements xsi:type="gore:AwReq" name="A3" target="//@refinements.0">
<strategies xsi:type="eca:RelaxReplaceChildStrategy" name="'RelaxReplaceChildStrategy'" requirement="//@refinements.0" newRequirement="//@refinements.3"/>
</refinements>

I want to have the same string as in target, requirement or newRequirement variables. So my new XML file would be, for instance:
<newFormatedLine name="..." target="//@newFormatedLine.0">

But in acceleo I can only get the objects class reference, not its textual reference. Do someone can help me in this (apparently) simple task?

Thanks.

Hi,

The reference format is not stable and will depend on EMF. They can be relative, absolute, use eKeys... You can try and get the reference URI through EcoreUtil.getURI(EObject) (you will have to use a java service to call it), but there is no guarantee you will obtain the exact format you expect.
