Source table name on ? ? level

Question

hi
I would like to store in Java Variable source table name on <? ?> level.
<?
String table_name = Source_Table_Name;
?>
When I use:
<?
String p = "<%=odiRef.getSrcTablesList("", "[TABLE_NAME]", ", ", "")%>";
?>
then this code is translated to:
<?
String p = "<?=snpRef.getObjectShortName("L", "TABLE1", "SCHEMA1", "D")";
?>
where TABLE_NAME is already replaced to TABLE1. (the same happens when I use <%=odiRef.getFrom()%>
Thanks in advance
Marcin

Answer 1

I had success using a regular expression to remove everything from the <?...?> expression before and after the table name.
Something like this might work.
<%
// Get the source table for this interface. A check will be added to verify that only one exists.
String srcTableCall = odiRef.getSrcTablesList(0, "", "[TABLE_NAME]", "", "");
// srcTableCall returns a string like <?=snpRef.getObjectShortName("L","<TableName>","<Physical Architecture>","D")?>. We have to use a pair
// of regular expressions to isolate the table name in a form that can be used to manipulate another string.
String srcTable = srcTableCall.replaceFirst ("^.*getObjectShortName.......", "").replaceFirst(".,.*$", "");
// The onClause is the mappings marked with UD1.
String onClause = odiRef.getColList("", "\tT.[COL_NAME] = [EXPRESSION]", "\n\tand\t", "", "UD1");
out.println ("onClause before substitution is " + onClause );
// Replace the source table in each EXPRESSION with S. This doesn't work like I think it should.
onClause = onClause.replace (srcTable, "S");
out.println ("onClause with substitution is " + onClause);
