Principle
EA: VB Script glue-code
' Run the C#, VB, F#, C++ Console Programm,result = RunCommand(myScript.exe, "DoTask1", guid, "", "") ' C# vb script glue-code ' Run the Java Class, let Java do everythingresult = RunCommandJava("%EA_SCRIPT_HOME%", "SparxSystems.RepositoryInterface", " ", " "," ", " ") ' Java vb script glue-codeExample in C#
Other languages are similar.
switch (command) { // Decide what to do case: "TextToSpeech": var el = _repository.GetElementByGuid (guid); // get the passed element _repository.ShowInProjectView(el); // show the passed element in project browser break; case: "DoTask2": break;}Example Java
public void PrintPackage( org.sparx.Package pkg){ Trace( pkg.GetName()); Collection<org.sparx.Package> packages = pkg.GetPackages(); for(short i = 0; i < packages.GetCount(); i++) { PrintPackage(packages.GetAt(i)); }}
