Hi,
This is about accessing attribute constraints (Attribute Constraints Tab information) from within Model 2 Model Transformation Templates.
Context:
I have already modified the XSD M2M Transformation Template to include some specific needs and I need to further enhance it in order to automatically read attribute length and pattern constraints described in a standard Class (not XSD) source model and generate equivalent tagged values in the XSD target model.
The current turn-around :-[ is to use some unused but accessible attribute fields to describe the constraints (like initial value for the pattern constraint, or attribute alias for the length constraints) which is extremely non-intuitive for class modelers! :-[
Question
Am I missing some hidden hint about accessing attribute constraints from within Transformation Templates? Do you plan adding this possibility in the near future?
Thanks a lot.
