Mapping Priorities

Mapping priorities are a set of mapping priority rules specifying an order of priority between sets of generator rules (mapping configurations).

Mapping priorities are specified in generator module property dialog. See also: Generator

Each mapping priority rule consists of left part, right part and priority symbol in the middle.

For instance:

* < [sample.language/generator: *]

Left part of priority rule can only refer to mapping configurations in this generator.

Notation	Refers to
*	All mappings in this generator
modelName . *	All mappings in model
modelName . mappingName	Mapping configuration
{... }	Set of mappings. An entry can be either modelName . * or modelName . mappingName

Right part of priority rule can refer to mapping configurations in this generator as well as other generators visible in scope (refer to Generator).

Notation	Refers to
*	All mappings in this generator
modelName . *	All mappings in model
modelName . mappingName	Mapping configuration
{... }	Set of mappings. An entry can be either modelName . * or modelName . mappingName
[ languageName / generatorName *: ]**	All mapping in external generator
[ languageName / generatorName : modelName ]	All mapping in external generator model
[ languageName / generatorName : modelName . mappingName ]	External mapping configuration
[ languageName / generatorName : {... }]	All mapping in external generator
*[:]*	All possible mappings

Priority symbol

Notation	Description
<	Mappings in left part are processed before mappings in right part
<=	Mappings in left part are processed not later than mappings in right part
==	Mappings in left part and right part are processed together
