Getter for annotated Operations? [message #1014889] Tue, 26 February 2013 16:53 Go to next message

Hi community,

exists a getter method for operations that returns a list of annotations defined?

For example:

@color red, blue
operation test() {
return self.getAnnotations();
}

Should return something like:
[color] => [red,blue]

Or is there a way to get all operations from one EOL module annotated with the same name for grouping purposes?

Thanks for the help!

-Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,

You can use EolAnnotationsUtil to retrieve the values of operation annotations. See the isCached() method of [1] for an example.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

thanks for the quick reply. I assume there is no way to retrieve annotations and their values within an Epsilon script? Because I wondered for which purpose I can annotate an operation with random annotations (like @color)? Is there any behaviour implemented for annotations beside the reserved keywords (like @test, @template etc.)?

Hi Bernhard,

In Epsilon annotations are mainly used for syntax-preserving language extensions so querying them at runtime from within Epsilon programs is not supported out-of-the-box. Of course, you could always implement a Java tool [1, 2] that does this.

Cheers,
Dimitris
