Hi all,

I've defined a profile with several sterotypes. I need to set a property
value of a stereotype manually in Java.

I know that it can be done with the followings lines:
namedElement.setValue(stereotype, property.getName(), value);

It's OK when I set a property with a primitive type like String.
Now I need to set a property which reference another Stereotype.

Example:

Profile myProfile
- Stereotype s1
- Stereotype s2
- Property name:String
- Property s1_reference: s1

I would like to set the "s1_reference" but I have problems with type.

Thanks for help,

Hi Emilien,

I'm not sure what you mean by "I have problems with type". Could you
elaborate? Do you mean that you are not sure what to set as the type of
the property? or do you have an issue with setValue() not working?

Cheers,
- James.

Thanks for reply James,

I mean I don't succed to set the value for a referenced stereotype.
I don't know what to set as the type of the property when this one
references another stereotype.

When I get a same type, previously added from the modeller, I get a
DynamicEObjectImpl.

Do I have to build an object with the same type ? How ?

Here the good way,

Profile myProfile
- Stereotype s1
- Stereotype s2
- Property name:String
- Property s1_reference: s1

To set the value "s1" to the property "s1_reference". You have to do this:

EObject s1Reference = classWithS1.getStereotypeApplication(s1);
Property s1RefProp = s2.getAttribute("s1_reference", null);
classWithS2.setValue(s2, s1RefProp.getName(), s1Reference);
