I'm assuming that the 'code' is an EO attribute of an entity. I think you'll
have to iterate over the list of attributes, check the name and set a flag
manually. Then you can conditionally generate your template code base on the
flag.
I may be wrong--and I'd love to find an easier way if I am--but this is how I
do such a thing in my templates. I haven't actually tested the following code,
but I use something similar to check for the presence of not-null class
properties. Maybe it will point you in the right direction:
#set ($hasCode = 'false')
#foreach ($attribute in $entity.classAttributes)#if ($attribute.name ==
'code')#set ($hasCode = 'true')#end#end
#if ($hasCode == 'true')
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static nz.co.orcon.osm.eo.main.OcnDuration
fetchByCode(EOEditingContext ec, String code) {
....
}
...
#end
I haven't yet found an easy way to break out of the foreach loop, so for now my
templates always iterate over the entire list of attributes (but only once to
set the flag).
Hope that helps.
