Serialization: Workspace URIs vs. External URIs. [message #477689] Tue, 26 August 2008 00:39 Go to next message

Suppose I have two UML resources in my workspace:

/MyProject/A.uml and
/MyProject/B.uml

Suppose that B.uml references types defined in A.uml.

With Eclipse 3.4, a parameter P for an operation in B where the type of
P is in A looks like this:

<ownedParameter xmi:id="..." name="P">
<type xmi:type="..." href="/MyProject/A.uml#..."/>
</ownedParameter>

How can I export A.uml and B.uml in such a way where the serialization
of /MyProject/B.uml would have:

<ownedParameter xmi:id="..." name="P">
<type xmi:type="..." href="http://example.org/MyProject/A.uml#..."/>
</ownedParameter>


The migration guide shows how to do load-time URI conversion.
However, save-time URI conversation seems to be much more mysterious.

http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/guides/UML2_2. 0_Migration_Guide/guide.html

Any suggestions?

Hi Nicolas,

If the type of P you are referring to is one of the primitive types,
serialized as :
pathmap://UML_LIBRARIES/UMLPrimitiveTypes.library.uml#Boolea n , for
example, then the cmof resource handler will automtically save these as :
http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1.1/uml.xml#Boolean. This will occur
automatically when you "Save As.." your model with a .xmi/.cmof extension.

If the type of P is defined in B then the serialized type should look like
a relative path, something like: MyProject.xmi#MyType. Saving the href as
relative should be happening automatically by EMF.

HTH.

Cheers,
- James.
