Hi,

I want to generate a 'comment' line like: "Generated by Acceleo at [today/time]"

But how do i get the date and time of the moment of invocation?

Greetings,
Wilbert.

Hi Wilbert,
well i can help you. I think Acceleo has no function to do this, u need an external JavaFunction.

Like this

public String getDate()
	{
		String actual;
		DateFormat dateFormatter = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
		dateFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+2"));
		actual=dateFormatter.format(new Date());
		return actual;
	}


you have to update the Timezone, for mine its GMT+2.

You can call up the function in Acceleo with a query:

[query public getDate(empty : String) : String = invoke('JavaFunctions', 'getDate()',Sequence{})/]


first invoke parameter is path from project to your java data, where you defined the function, the second is the Name of the Function.

In generation you have to call [getDate('')/]. This sould write the current Date/Time.

Greetings,
Norman

Hi,

I would complete this perfect answer with a working example of the declaration of the Java service, its wrapper and a call of the wrapper.

If you need more information about Java services in Acceleo, you can have a look at the video included in the documentation.
