Hi,

I'm just playing around and trying to figure out how some things work in Sirius, specifically around Java External Actions. I'm thinking I might need to make some custom methods to allow for model navigation and highlighting but I'm not sure how to go about it. To start off I have been trying to create some operations in my Ecore metamodel but now I'm running into the problem about not even knowing how to call it from either my java external action or aql. Any help?

Hello

You can effectively call java code using either JavaAction or directly service with AQL.

I recommend the use of AQL which is simpler to write and does not require any extension

With Sirius, to call a service with AQL, just add a service java class and call it with aql:self.myservice(xxx)
Refer to the documentation https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/specifier/general/Writing_Queries.html#service_methods

To call a Java action refer to the documentation : https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/specifier/general/Model_Operations.html#extensions

More documentation about AQL : https://www.eclipse.org/acceleo/documentation/aql.html

Regards
Laurent
