Grammar:
Entity:
	'entity' name=ValidID ('extends' superType=[Entity])? '{'
		features+=Feature*
	'}';


I want to retrieve all sub-entities for a specific entity using following xtend functions
	def superEntities(Entity e){
		var ArrayList<Entity> superEntities = newArrayList()
		var curEntity = e.superType
		while(curEntity!=null){
			superEntities += curEntity
			curEntity = curEntity.superType	
		}
		superEntities
	}

	def subEntities(Entity e){
		var entities = Iterators::filter(e.eResource.resourceSet.allContents,typeof(Entity))
		entities = Iterators::filter(entities)[entity|
			entity.superEntities.contains(e)
		]
		newArrayList(Iterators::toArray(entities,typeof(Entity)))	
	}



Define the following two models in different files:
p1.dmodel:
package p1{
	entity A {
	}
	entity B extends A{
	}
}


p2.dmodel:
package p2{
	
	import p1.*
	entity C extends A{
	}
}


If p2.dmodel is not opened in an editor, function subEntities only returns B as A's sub entity, C is missing.


How to implement subEntities(Entity e) correctly?

Thanks.

Hi,

from "where" do you call this code?

P.S: if you call it from a builder or an action/handler or something in the ide

you have basically two options

(1) fill/use a completed resourceset as described here http://kthoms.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/xtend-generating-from-multiple-input-models/
(2) use the "index" to find all references

from DomainmodelJvmModelInferrer, used to generate documentation in super class:
def dispatch infer(Entity e, IAcceptor<JvmDeclaredType> acceptor, boolean prelinkingPhase) {
  acceptor.accept(
    e.toClass( e.fullyQualifiedName ) [
	documentation = '''«FOR subEntity : e.subEntities SEPARATOR ','»«subEntity.name»«ENDFOR»'''.toString

......


thanks

Hmmm, hard to do such a thing in a performant manner. i'd feed the docs for the entities to the index
and query the index in the inferrer.

(1) use a custom DefaultResourceDescriptionStrategy
(2) search the index for all matching reference descriptions

this is not trivial and might be a lot of work to do
you might have a look at DefaultReferenceFinder
but this one is a bit UIish

P.s: in your case you wont need (1) since you only need the name of the referencing subentities and i dont know if it is a good idea to use the index in the inferrer - this might be a too early point

Thanks for your quick and detail response. I will follow your advice and try to reading Xtext source(It seems really hard...)
