In my groovy DSL, it is possible to drill down into a piece of data, with each level being handled dynamically
For example A is an entity that holds B which holds another entity C. A.B.C.D will get the field D in the C entity. All entities are dynamically created, meaning A does not have a field B, which does not have a field C which does not have D. They are all looked up dynamically using getProperty. a) How do I write a static type checker for this? I added a derived class from AbstractTypeCheckingExtension. However for every missing property (namely B, C and D) it calls handleMissingProperty inside this class. This is cumbersome because only C knows it can contain D, likewise only B knows about C and only A knows about B. b) when handleMissingProperty is called for the missing D property, how do I know that this was from the expression that starts with A, goes through B and C. Meaning how do I walk the tree of the expression? Is there a better way to do this? -- View this message in context: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Handling-multiple-levels-of-unresolved-properties-tp5733567.html Sent from the Groovy Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
