Code Generation

[SPars]

I've created the basic class with some attributes.  However, I want the system to generate my getters and setters.  The help file talks about going to tools-options-generate ... there is no such menu option.

Going to project - transform doesn't generate any get/set methods.

thoughts?

The built-in C# and Java transformations take a public attribute, and convert it into a private attribute and public properties.  Other than this, you can click on the 'Property' checkbox in the attributes dialog for each attribute.

What release are you using? Whereabouts in the Help is this reference to the Tool | Options | Generate menu option? You are right, it doesn't exist, and there shouldn't be a reference to it. I can't find it, but it might be in an older version of the Help.

Think I actually found it on your site, not in the help menu.

I did find the answer with the property check box - thanks.

The next question I have is that the getters/setters are not cased out correctly.

String someValue;

String getsomeValue();

A member variable's name can be any legal Java identifier and by convention begins with a lower case letter.  However, the set/get methods should be:

getSomeValue();

Is there somewhere to set this?

Take a look at the Tools | Options | Source Code Generation dialog. Near the bottom you'll see an option for Capitalized Attribute Name for Properties. I think that's what you need to set.

I'm not sure whether EA stores this globally - in the registry - or on a per-model basis. If it is the latter case you'll need to set up a base project, edit EABase.EAP in your EA installation directory, or tweak the option for each relevant project.

That is perfect - thanks for the help!
