Hi All,
I'm new to JET2 and have been following IBM's tutorial
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os- ecl-jet/
I would like to know if it is possible to have more than one input model to
a template?
I have the following models:
1) profileA.xml
<app name="profileA">
<component name="c1"/>
<component name="c2"/>
</app>
2) component1.xml
<app name="c1">
<property name="p1" value="x"/>
<property name="p2" value="y"/>
</app>
Am I able to access the attributes(p1, p2, x, y) of component1.xml, given
that I can extract the attribute c1, from profileA.xml in my template file?
Is it possible to build up an input model incrementally like this,
consisting of many *.xml files?
When I go to Run > JET Transformation, I can only enter one file in the
"Transformation Input" field.
Regards,
Kim-Chi

Kim-Chi:
There is no direct way to feed JET multiple models. However, JET is capable,
via its tag library of loading and navigating multiple models - see the
c:load tag.
You have several design choices:
1) infer additional input models from the specified input. For example,
given profileA.xml, you might decide that you will load c1.xml and c2.xml.
2) make additional input models explicit. For example, in profileX.xml,
have:
<app name="profileA">
<component name="c1" model="component1.xml"/>
<component name="c2" model="component2.xml"/>
</app>
As for using c:load in either circumstance, you need to compute the correct
value for the 'url' attribute. Any relative URL passed will be treated as a
workspace path (project name + path). JET has a number of predefined
variables describing the model loaded at startup. In particular,
$org.eclipse.jet.resource.parent.fullPath is the workspace path of the input
model's container. So, in the second case, you could do:
<c:load
url=" {$org.eclipse.jet.resource.parent.fullPath}/{$component/@mod el} "
var="component"/>

FYI.
The predefined XPath variables that JET provides are found in the EMFT JET
Developer's guide:
