Extending org.eclipse.tptp.platform.models plugin [message #499113]

Hi,

I'd like to understand the extensibility of the org.eclipse.tptp.platform.models plugin, and in particular the org.eclipse.hyades.model.statistical package and SD* model classes.

The declared extension-point-s fragment_handler, fragment_loaders_factory etc. seem to suggest that custom SAX parsers can be injected to process inbound XML. My questions:

How tightly bound (if at all) is the statistical model to XML formats typically produced by the Agent Controller? Is it futile to try and work with a non-Agent Controller non-EMF schema, or is it just a matter of crafting and registering an appropriate SAX handler to construct the SD model?
Has anyone done this before - adapted a "foreign" non-Agent Controller XML to the SD model - any examples?
Does any of the statistical charting exist in TPTP 4.6 to have a look at - I can only find it back in 4.4.1 in the Windows perfmon stuff.

Thanks
Brett

Hi,

The model extension point intends to provide the flexibility for third party
to plug their own loader and parser for expected inbound XML generated from
Agent Controller plugins. There are extenders who extended both the model
and the loader for XML fragment generated for their needs.

The statistical model was tied to its expect XML format and I am not aware
of anyone who extends that area of the model code actually.

Hi Eugene,

Thanks for the reply. I've been reading http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/platform/documents/drafts/Howtow riteaTPTPDataCollectionAgent.htm which is pretty old but provides the best-available description that I can find. I can see now how the XML/EMF model and the Agent Controller are supposed to work.

The biggest stumbling block is the absence of the Statistical UI in the current TPTP (see my other current thread).

Thanks
Brett
