[Andromda-devel] Template properties

[Chad Brandon]

Wouter,   I added the funtionality you were looking for when it came to specifying properties to your cartridge.  Namely I just changed the existing "userProperty" notation to be consistent with the way properties are now populated within the namespace for metafacades, outlets and templateObjects.  So now everyting is using the same property notation through the namespaces with is a good thing I think.  The Maven plugin can now be used as is to do what you want without added elements.  In order to use this, you need to define a property reference in your andromda-cartridge.xml: <property reference="someProperty"/>, this reference tells the core that this property is expected to be populated by the user (i.e ant task) through a namespace, so in the andromda ant task we would have the below, just like its used for outlets, and metafacade properties:   <namepsaces name="bpm4struts">     <property name="someProperty" value="myPropertyValue"/> </namespace>   Since you're using the maven cartridge, you would just add another property to the plugin.properties like I was telling you yesterday: maven.andromda.namespace.1.property.8.name=someProperty maven.andromda.namespace.1.property.8.value=somePropertyValue Let me know if you have any questions, Thanks, Chad P.S. Matthias, I'm assuming a change like this is OK with you, as it makes things more consistent.
