We're starting to have pages of code in our various extensions (and
sometimes duplicate code) to just dig data out of an SDO graph.
This initially sounds pretty simple:
- I have an SDO that I loaded from an XML element
- I'd like to populate a C++ list with values of the child elements of
that XML for example.
like in:
<add>
<op1>2</op1>
<op2>3</op2>
</add>
I would populate a C++ list or array with 2 ints {2, 3}...
It turns out to be not so simple, as depending on how you've defined
your schema for that XML (if you have a schema at all) you need to check
for:
- SDO properties defined in your schema
- SDO instance properties (if your parent element is an open content)
- SDO sequences
- properties that are DataObjectLists
- properties that contain open content again...
I'm thinking about writing a generic utility class once for all, which
will implement a Visitor pattern to visit the SDO graph and gather the
interesting data... What do people think about this approach?
Can somebody point me to existing SDO navigation code that I could reuse
for this?
Or am I missing something and there is a simpler way to get child
elements out of an SDO without having to worry about all these cases?
Thanks,

There is code in
tuscany/sca/util/Utils.cpp
that prints DO contents. May be a starting point.
