HI All
First of, I am generating from an xml doc without a schema at this stage.
I have a custom xpath function which gets a nodeset. I iterate through
the nodeset
//CODE///
NodeSet o = (NodeSet)args.get(0);
//Element controlElement = (Element));
Iterator it = o.iterator();
String s = "";
while(it.hasNext())
{
EObject e = (EObject)it.next();
//CODE END///
I get back a an EObject, but would like to be able to access the nodes
attributes (where each item I am iterating over is a node with a
collection of attributes). All casts I have tried thus far have failed ,
this should be something really silly easy but I am failing at this
currently.
In short, how do I cast the EObject to something from which I can access
the attributes specified in the xml.
Thanks
Johan

prone to break (understatement). I would love some pointers on this,
pretty please.

Johan,

I suppose these EObjects instances of AnyType? You can cast to that
interface then, and process with the feature map for the attributes...
In general, given an EObject x that's not a subclass of anything more
concrete, you can use x.eClass().getEAllStructuralFeatures() and for
each one, call x.eGet(feature). Of course each feature will have a
name, and you can use ExtendedMetaData.INSTANCE to access underlying XML
details, like the namespace of the feature...

Johannes (& Ed):
It is almost certainly an AnyType object. But before you go down that =
road, let me make a couple of alternative suggestions:
Alternative 1 (This requires JET 0.9.0 or later)
-----------------
Change JET's model loader to XML DOM. That way, what you'll receive in =
your function is org.w3c.dom.Node and sub-types. To do this,
Open your JET transforms plugin.xml, go the the Extensions tab. Expand =
and select the '(transform') element, and enter 'org.eclipse.jet.xml' =
(without the quotes) in the modelLoader field.
Alternative 2
------------------
Use the JET XPath engine to navigate the node-set. The best example of =
doing this is the sort() function that was introduced in JET 0.9. Here's =
a link to the source:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.m2t/org .eclipse.jet/=
plugins/org.eclipse.jet/src/org/eclipse/jet/internal/xpath/f unctions/extr=
as/SortFunction.java?revision=3D1.1&root=3DModeling_Proj ect&view=3Dmarkup=
Alternative 3
------------------
Explain what you'd like to do in your function. Maybe we can figure out =
a way to do this via something less complex. Or maybe, this is something =
that requires some enhancement to JET.
Paul
