Hi,

I'am working on xtext for canonical data model (sd-dsl on eclipse labs)

I want to separate an Xtext spec model generation to model.

1 model entity

Model

Entity

2 model spec gen reference the entity model

Spec

Root=[Entity]

When I change the model and save it, I want to read the spec generation to customize the generation.

its possible to associate a spec file whith same name and differente extention.

myentity.entity
myentity.spec

in generator retreive the spec model to generate whith spec

do you have solution to do that simply ?

thank a lot for yor wonderfull work.

Either I don't understand the question or it is almost trivial to accomplish this in Xtext. I'm guessing that you need 2 Xtext DSLs: one for the .entity files and one for the .spec files. Implementing a generator for the spec gen DSL would take care of the generation. You would need some extra work if the 2 files matched on the basis of their name instead on some explicit import.

Hi ,

The spec point on root entity representing the message root view.

the spec instances modification start the generation

The entity model change frequently
When I save model entity instances after modification I need to refresh or force the spec model generation for entities.

Sorry for my poor english

best regards
