Get Stereotype of the Class of an attribute

[SammyC]

Hello,

I trying to use the Code Generation templates to auto generate my code for me. However, I seem to have hit upon a problem .

What I want to do is to determine the stereotype of the class of an attribute. For example:

Class A
{
  MyType x;

...
};

When I'm generating the code for the 'x' attribute of class A I want to know what the stereotype of MyType is.
If I use the stereotype overrides or attStereotype macros they look at the stereotype of the attibute 'x' not of the class MyType.

Any ideas how this can be achieved?

Sam.

This isn't available directly from the templates, but you can get it using a call to an addin.

Use EXEC_ADD_IN to call a function in your addin to look up the stereotype of the classifier of the attribute.  There are quite a few examples of how to use this posted to the forum if you do a search.

Would I have to write this AddIn myself or is there one already I can use?

I don't have access to any development environment such as VB or VC as I as am developing for Java.

You can also use Perl. Probably bad taste for a C*-guy, but it's free and works under almost every environment.
