Hello All,
I have started developing a plugin to export content from EPF as a single
file, in various formats (HTML, Excel, FreeMind, MindManager, etc). To make
a long story short, we do this because RMC+BIRT is too cumbersome, and
requires some javascript code anyway.
One aspect I looked into is how to get to the main description of an
element when variability is in the model. Code snippet #1 below shows how I
am doing this today.
Another aspect is how to get to the elements categorized in a custom
category, again with variability. This one does not work.
So far I have been learning by trials and errors, and guessing the API, so
there may be mistakes in the code below, or else I am just not using the
right API.
I am looking for guidance on which API I should be using for extracting
valid information from the model, including when variability is used, as I
cannot make for the categorized elements.
If this is not the right forum, please redirect me to the right place.
Thank You.
Régis Coqueret
PS:
Code snippet #1 (works)
public static String
getDescribableElementMainDescription(DescribableElement calce) {
// DescribableElement calce is supposed to have been calculated
if (calce != null) {
// get content description (a.k.a. presentation)
ContentDescription contentDescription = calce.getPresentation(); //
ContentDescription extends MethodUnit extends MethodElement
// get calculated description
ContentDescription calcDescription = (ContentDescription)
ConfigurationHelper.getCalculatedElement(contentDescription,
currentConfiguration);
// attribute to get main description
EAttribute attrMainDesc =
UmaPackage.eINSTANCE.getContentDescription_MainDescription();
// calculated object, that has variability in it
Object calcMainDescObj =
ConfigurationHelper.calcAttributeFeatureValue(calcDescription,
attrMainDesc, currentConfiguration);
// main description string
return calcMainDescObj.toString();
} else {
return "";
}
}
Code snippet #2 (doe NOT work):
public static List<DescribableElement>
getCustomCategoryCategorizedElements(CustomCategory cc) {
EReference reference =
UmaPackage.eINSTANCE.getCustomCategory_CategorizedElements();
ElementRealizer realizer =
DefaultElementRealizer.newElementRealizer(currentConfiguration);
List<MethodElement> theList = (List<MethodElement>)
ConfigurationHelper.calc0nFeatureValue(cc, reference, realizer);
return ConfigurationHelper.getCalculatedElements(theList,
currentConfiguration);
}
