invoke template from java with string return? [message #87792]

Hi,

I've looked at the runTransformOnX() methods (x=Object,String, ...) in
org.eclipse.jet.JET2Platform. Is there a JET2 class that does something
like org.eclipse.emf.codegen.jet.JETEmitter in EMF: take a list of
arguments, execute a template against them, and return a string?

Thanks,
Rick

Rick,

I'll redirect your question to the M2T newsgroup (on the "to" list of
the reply) where the JET2 questions are answered.

Thanks Ed - I looked for that group, but forgot to hit the "refresh"
button on the newsgroup subscription panel ... !

Rick:

Yes, JET 0.8.0 has org.eclipse.jet.JET2TemplateManager. You use it something
like this...

String[] jetTransformsToSearch = { "a.b.c", ... };

final String templatePath = "... project relative path of the template to
run.jet ...";
final JET2Context context = new JET2Context( ... source model or null ...);
// optionally set any context variables via
context.setVariable("name", ... value ...);
final BufferedJET2Writer out = new BodyContentWriter();
JET2TemplateManager.run( jetTransformsToSeach, new
JET2TemplateManager.ITemplateOperation() {
public run(JET2TemplateManager.ITemplateRunner templateRunner) {
String result = templateRunner.generate( templatePath, context,
out );
}
});
// do something with the result
String output = out.getContent();

The reason for passing the runnable-like class is that the manager may have
to dynamically load JET projects from the workspace. JET is very careful to
make sure such things get unloaded again - using the ITemplateOperation
helps identify that boundary. In real life, you would probably execute
multiple templates in a single ITemplateOperation.

Lastly, I noticed the Javadoc for ITemplateRunner.generate() says it
throughs IllegalAccessException. It does not. It throughs
IllegalArgumentException of templatePath does not map to a know template. I
have submitted bug 195523
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=195523).
