[EVL] replace automated messages with mine [message #713553]

Hi,

I am using EVL for diagram validation of my GMF editor.

I would like to replace the automated messages of GMF (e.g. the required feature " " must be set) with my own messages. So for example if I have the following class:

class{
attr String[1]name;
}

the validation produce a message as I mentioned above. I want to replace this message(or disable it) and use my own message that I wrote with in my evl file.
Do anyone know if that is possible?

Thanks in advance,

Aris

Hi Aris,

The messages you mention are produced by the EMF validator. The following post seems to suggest that you need to implement a fragment which overrides the default messages: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5861948/changing-default-validation-messages

Another option would be to customise your GMF code so that it does not invoke the EMF validator at all - but invokes a custom validator that only evaluates the EVL constraints instead.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for the reply.

The option to not invoke the emf validator at all sounds good. Do you have any idea how that will be possible?

Thanks,

Aris

Hi Aris,

Unfortunately, I haven't done this before so I too would have to investigate. I think I'd start by looking at the generated ValidateAction class.

Cheers,

Hi Dimitris,

Unfortunately I didn't have time to solve it.
I posted a similar question to GMF forum. I put the link here with the answer I got if someone is interested in(despite the suggestion there is how to change the default messages, no disable them).

Thanks,

Aris
