Comment #2 on issue 1000 by anne.et...@gmail.com: Orion: retrieve entity from name, mooseName or signature http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=1000
It is an Orion issue and Nicolas said to me to open it in order to keep a trace of it. But it seems that is linked to a Famix issue. (On this later point, I have to explore more).
To find an entity in an Orion model, we use MooseAbstractGroup>>entityNamed:; the parameter being a string. The problem is that sometimes, the string should correspond to the mooseName, sometimes to the name, sometimes to the name concatenated with ()... So the polymorphism does not work very well since we need to now the expected type of the returned entity to put the right string as parameter.
So the question is what is used in Famix to retrieve an entity in an abstract group. And is this parameter the same whatever the type of the entity or does it depends on its type?
