counters during code generation or transformation

[GBeutler]

Hi everybody,

I am generating a apache ojb mapping. In simple words this is a xml file which describe the mapping from at class to a database table.
At the xml file I need a attribute number which is the number of the position of the attribute at the table the attribute belongs to. It is only a counter like 1, 2, 3 etc.
Is there a way to get the position of an attribute at its table during transformation?
Thanks in advance and best regards,

Guido

The code templates don't have any counting capability.  The best suggestion I can make at the moment is to try using an addin call to get the attributes Pos value.

You can do this using EXEC_ADD_IN.  You can search for examples on this forum.  But I'll include another one here.

Example C#

Code: [Select]

public String AttPos(EA.Repository r, object args)
{
   Array p = (Array)args;
   String attGUID = (String)p.GetValue(0);
   EA.Attribute a = r.GetAttributeByGuid(attGUID);
   return a.Pos.ToString();
}
Example template

Code: [Select]

%EXEC_ADD_IN("MyAddinName", "AttPos", attGUID)%
Hope that helps.
