Getters and Setters are blank in generated php

[cbrandenburg]

I'm new to EA and have a very limited time for the evaluation so if this is an obvious setting please forgive my ignorance.

I've created a class to encapsulate the $_SERVER variables in php.  So for example $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] will map to the hostName attribute in the object.

I created the diagram and added the attributes, I selected the Property checkbox to create the getters and setters as well.

When I go to generate the code, the getters and setters are empty:

[size=10]
/**
* The hostName field is passed in on the request in the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
* variable. This value is the hostname to which the request was sent.  
*/
function gethostName()
{
}
[/size]

I would have hoped for the following:
[size=10]
/**
* The hostName field is passed in on the request in the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
* variable. This value is the hostname to which the request was sent.  
*/

function gethostName()
{
   return hostName;
}
[/size]

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

You need to modify the Code Gen macros for PHP.

Open the Operation Body. Insert something like

%if (opStereotype == "get property")%
return %opName%;
%endIf%

You need to trick around with substrings, but that should be not too difficult to solve.

If this is not already in the documentation (or only very indirectly), then it should be considered for explicit inclusion.

Sounds like a very basic FAQ.

Thanks for the information.  I also searched for "property get" in the forum and found that I needed to create two  new stereotypes.  So far I've struck out getting it to run the new code but I'll tinker some more when I have some time.

For some reason the first shot printed out:

%if (opStereotype == "get property")%
return hostName;

so it got closer.

I'm not sure if it was in the docs or not but I did search the help system for what I thought I needed and came up empty.

Thanks again,
Chris

Try something like  
return %MID (opName, 4, 99)%
to cut off the leading get/set.

Use "function macros" to search the help.

Ok, I'm not sure why that isn't in the templates already, but the following template should do the job.

Code: [Select]

%if genOptPHPVersion == "5.0" and elemType=="Interface"%
;
%endTemplate%

{
$wrap = %genOptWrapComment=="-1" ? "-1" : "40"%
$behaviour = %WRAP_LINES(opBehaviour, $wrap, "\t//", "")%
%if $behaviour != ""%
\n$behaviour\n\n
%endIf%
%if opCode != ""%
%WRAP_LINES(opCode, "-1", "\t", "")%
%elseIf opStereotype == "property get" and opTag:"attribute_name" != ""%
\treturn %dl%this->%opTag:"attribute_name"%;
%elseIf opStereotype == "property set" and opTag:"attribute_name" != ""%
\t%dl%this->%opTag:"attribute_name"% = %dl%newVal;
%endIf%
}
I'll point out two things from there.
1. There are no parenthesis in the syntax for the if condition.  (See http://www.sparxsystems.com/EAUserGuide/index.html?controlmacros.htm)
2. Property methods created with the property checkbox get a tagged value "attribute_name" that contains the name of the attribute they are a property for.  The stereotypes and tagged values used for PHP code engineering are documented at http://www.sparxsystems.com/EAUserGuide/index.html?php_conventions.htm
