Hi,

suppose I have a meta model where there are classes
B and C that extend a class A and another model with
a class D.

B has an attribute of type b and C has an attribute of type c.
Also, D has an attribute of type d.

I want to write an extension like this:

create D this AToD(A aa):
// If A is a B, set D.d to B.b,
// if A is a C, set D.d to C.c
;

At first I thought I could just write several extensions
with the same name for every class:

create D this AToD(B bb) and create D this AToD(C cc)

However, I get this exception:
org.eclipse.core.commands.common.NotDefinedException: Cannot get the
parent identifier from an undefined context.
org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.presentation

Then I thought I could write an Extension like this:

create D this AToD(A aa):
// If A is a B, return BToD
// if A is a C, return CToD
;

and also two extensions like this:

create D this BToD(B bb):
this.setd(bb.b)
;

create D this CToD(C cc):
this.setd(cc.c)
;

Is there something like an 'instanceof' operator in xtend
so I can use the latter approach? Or maybe the first is the
right one and i'm just doing something wrong?

Regards,
Matthias

Yes, that should work.

It shouldn't have something to do with the extension.
Could you please file a bugzilla containing the stack trace and the example?

Yes, it's: TypeName.isInstance(object)

Hi Sven,

thank you for your reply. You are right, the exception seems to have
nothing to do with the extension. It's because it doesn't occur anymore.
If I find a way to reproduce it, I will file a bugzilla.

Regards,
Matthias

Is there another function to check if an attribute is of a certain type ?

I want to redefine types (creating an age type, which is an Integer), and I want to check for every non-basic type that I create for what basic type they come from (and print that type).

superType creates a Set of all superTypes, but I can't find how to verify what type is in it.

thanks.

Hi Maxime,

Do you mean xpand2::Type?

You can write something like:

my::Type.allProperties.select(e|e.returnType.isAssignableFro m(OtherType))

No, I had troubles with the basics on metamodeling, but its solved now (I think).

But still, thanks for answering, that answer helps me for something else.

maxime
