Hello, I have some questions about the archetype definition. Currently, I am using the java parser to get an archetype object and from that object I get the archetype definition, which is a CComplexObject. I then pass this object to a recursive function of mine to get hold of some node id's, reference model type names, reference model attribute names and so on. In the function I first get the attributes of the complex object, then I get the children of each attribute and finally I also get some of the children's actual values in the case they aren't complex objects that have to be passed to the function again.
Sadly, I haven't found another way to get the children's actual values, than doing a lot of type casting, i.e. to get the value of an object of the type DvBoolean I first have to check if the child is a CPrimitiveObject to get the CPrimitive and then I have to check if the CPrimitive is a CBoolean to get the DvBoolean and finally I can get the actual value of the boolean. I think this is rather tedious, and I would be glad if anyone knows an easier way to do this. In the recursive function I've just described I also try to build a tree structure of the java type DefaultMutableTreeNode in order to to display the archetype definition in a swing object called JTree. I have almost got it right, but I have problems with the levels of the nodes because I cannot simply do recursion over the CComplexObject that represents the definition since I have to get its attributes and the attributes' children (e.g. to see if the children are another CComplexObject), and thus this gets complicated and the assembled final tree is somewhat messed up. I would be glad if anybody had any ideas or advice about this problem and I hope my questions aren't too stupid.
