Hello All,
Knowing that Dimitris is away I was wondering if anyone else is able to
spot what I must be doing wrong.
I'm trying to opertate on an instanciated model (*.model) via EGL in a
TOMCAT environment (see
http://code.google.com/p/epsilonlabs/wiki/EGLinTomcat)
I can load and query/traverse the metamodel in the examples and with my
own metamodels. My understanding of the Model Manager functions is that I
would do something like:
modelManager.registerMetaModel('myMeta.ecore');
modelManager.loadModel('AnyName','myModel.model','aPackageUR I');
Where aPackageURI is the name of a package URI within the myMeta.ecore.
I assume I should then be able to access the EClasses by their name i.e.
myClass.all();
However I get an error of "Undefined variable, type or model:"
I have also trying using the AnyName as well to no success.
I am assuming that this is loading the model as if I do a EObject.all() I
can see the elements I'm trying to access. They do not exist under
anything other than EObject and I'm currently stumped as to how to get the
root class to start traversing the data. Any pointers/help is much
appreciated.
Darren

All sounds correct so far!

Yes, you should be able to access all instances of "myClass" using "all".
I don't think this matters, but you could try using the property rather
than the method, like this:
myClass.all;

Yes, loadModel should load and initialise your model. Could you send me
a minimal example of the failing behaviour? I'll see if I can recreate
the problem.
Cheers,

Just a little more explanation on this issue...
When a name is defined by two or more loaded metamodels, the fully
qualified syntax, modelName!typeName is required. When EOL can infer the
metamodel of a class (e.g. when there's only one metamodel loaded),
there's no need to qualify the class name with the modelName! prefix.
A little while ago, the method all() was added as a synonym for the
property all.
Consequently, all 3 of the statements above should work. However, as
this integration with Tomcat is new, do let us know if you have any
problems -- there may be bugs to squash!
Cheers,
Louis.

Hi there,
To be honest I have no experience in using Epsilon with Tomcat, but when
glancing at your message I thought perhaps you might need to include the
model name when attempting to access your objects, e.g.,
AnyName!myMetaClass.all. (and I wasn't sure from your message if you'd
tried this)
Sorry in advance if this isn't the problem (which it probably isn't :)).
Best,
Edd.

Thanks gents,
I really don't know what I was doing now, but yesterday I could not get it
to work today all three:
myClass.all();
myClass.all;
doc1!myClass.all()
Seem to want to work. Thanks again for your responses, they have aided my
understanding some more too.
