[news.eclipse.modeling.m2t] jet xpath expression to reference properties

[smackey@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Stuart Mackey)]

Working with an EMF model similar to:

MyObject
 point : MyPoint

So MyObject is an EObject with an attribute whose EType is MyPoint. 
MyPoint is an EDataType that points at a typical POJO Java 'Point' object 
with an x and y property.

I'd like to access those x and y values directly in a JET template and 
haven't figured out how so far short of having to write a custom tag or 
xpath function. Is there a way to do it?


For these examples, assume an instance of 'MyObject' is the context node.

I can't do this, obviously (b/c 'point' is an attribute):
x: <c:get select="point/@x"/>

But if I reference 'point' properly as an attribute, is there any way to 
access the properties on it?
x: <c:get select="@point..."/>


One solution might be to have the model changed so that 'MyPoint' is a 
normal model object rather than an EDataType so then I could write an 
xpath like "point/@x".

A custom tag or xpath function could do it too I guess.

But for the sake of trivia, is there any built-in way to get at properties 
on an EDataType via xpath?
