[antlr-interest] Using token values in other java classes (newbie)

[Bryan Ewbank]

Isn't this better written to simply use the normal returned state
information?  For example:

myrule:
   status_type { myJavaObject.setStatus(#status_type.getType()); }
   ;

status_type:
   LIVE_KW  |  SECONDARY_KW  | DISCONTINUED_KW  |  NEWENTRY_KW
   ;

> Thanks to Nigel and Paul for the prompt and useful answers. Now it
> works. To summarize the correct solution:
> 
> myrule {int tt;}: tt=status_type { myJavaObject.setStatus(tt); }
>         ;
> 
> status_type returns [ int x = LIVE_KW /* the default */ ]
>                 {
>                     x = LA(1);
>                 }:
>   ( LIVE_KW  |  SECONDARY_KW  | DISCONTINUED_KW  |  NEWENTRY_KW  )
> ;
