how do I delete a TaggedValue using the automation

[Fred Walter]

I've written a java program that lets me dump out various bits of information from .eap files.

However I need to be able to delete TaggedValue's from .eap files.

I couldn't find Java-specific documentation for the automation interface to let me delete a TaggedValue - is this documented somewhere?

I did the following:

      unzip /Program\ Files/Sparx\ Systems/ea/Java\ API/eaapi.jar
      for i in org/sparx/*.class ; do javap $(dirname $i)/$(basename $i .class) ; done > eaapi_docs.txt

Looking inside eaapi_docs.txt I see:

Compiled from "TaggedValue.java"
public class org.sparx.TaggedValue extends java.lang.Object{
    org.sparx.TaggedValue(long);
    public org.sparx.TaggedValue(org.sparx.TaggedValue);
    protected void finalize();
    public void destroy();
    long GetComObject();
    public int GetElementID();
    public java.lang.String GetLastError();
    public java.lang.String GetName();
    public java.lang.String GetNotes();
    public org.sparx.ObjectType GetObjectType();
    public int GetParentID();
    public java.lang.String GetPropertyGUID();
    public int GetPropertyID();
    public java.lang.String GetValue();
    public void SetElementID(int);
    public void SetName(java.lang.String);
    public void SetNotes(java.lang.String);
    public void SetPropertyGUID(java.lang.String);
    public void SetValue(java.lang.String);
    public boolean Update();
    static {};
}

I don't see a method/function in the above list, that lets me delete a TaggedValue.

How do I delete a TaggedValue using the automation interface, using Java?

      Thanks,
      Fred

I'm going to try using Delete() from the Collection object, to delete TaggedValue's from .eap files.

Compiled from "Collection.java"
public class org.sparx.Collection extends java.lang.Object implements java.lang.Iterable{
    org.sparx.Collection(long);
    public org.sparx.Collection(org.sparx.Collection);
    protected void finalize();
    public java.lang.Object AddNew(java.lang.String, java.lang.String);
    public void Delete(short);
    public void DeleteAt(short, boolean);
    public void destroy();
    public java.lang.Object GetAt(short);
    public java.lang.Object GetByName(java.lang.String);
    long GetComObject();
    public short GetCount();
    public java.lang.String GetLastError();
    public org.sparx.ObjectType GetObjectType();
    public java.util.Iterator iterator();
    public void Refresh();
    static {};
}

Fred,

Please look into your help file in the section Automation for a full description of the EA object model.

PS. Yes, Delete() should do the trick.
