Additional Model API

In DaVinci Configurator the user can add AUTOSAR annotations to configuration elements. You can create, modify, read and delete these annotations like in the UI editors.

All sub types of MIHasAnnotation elements support annotations like:

• MIModuleConfigurations
• MIContainers
• MIParameterValues
• MIIdentifiables

Although annotations are stored in the data model, their changeable state is independent of the configuration element changeable state. Annotations can be added/changed/deleted on every existing configuration element with valid definition, except the project was opened in read-only mode.

The IUserAnnotation interface provide methods like:

• getLabel() - Returns the label of the annotation, like getName() of a container
• setLabel(String) ()} - Changes the label
• getText() - Returns the text of the annotation.
• setText(String) ()} - Changes the text
• isChangeable() - Returns true, if the annotation is changeable
• delete() - Deletes the annotation

// We already have the container "cont" or any other model element
def myContainer = cont

def annos = myContainer.userAnnotations // Retrieve the list of annotations
def anno = annos.byLabel("MyLabel")     // Select the annotation with "MyLabel"
def text = anno.text                    // Get the Text

// Or short
text = myContainer.userAnnotations["MyLabel"].text

transaction {
    // We already have the container "cont"
    def anno = cont.userAnnotations.createAndAdd("MyAnno")
    anno.text = "My Text"
}

transaction {
    // We already have the container "cont"
    def anno = cont.userAnnotations.byLabelOrCreate("MyAnno")
    anno.text = "My Text"
}
