[Acceleo] Problem execution operation defined in meta model [message #559016] Wed, 15 September 2010 10:36 Go to next message

I have a method defined in my meta model using OCL. This method is invoked in an MTL file and always produces an error evaluating to an dynamic object reference in the text output.

How is the model to generate to enable the execution of operations defined in OCL in Acceleo?

Best regards,
Simon

Hi Simon,

Could you elaborate on what you'd like to do, and how? I can't really
understand what you're trying to achieve.

ok, I will explain in some detail now:

my metamodel:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ecore:EPackage xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" name="my"
    nsURI="http://my" nsPrefix="my">
  <eAnnotations source="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore">
    <details key="invocationDelegates" value="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL"/>
    <details key="settingDelegates" value="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL"/>
    <details key="validationDelegates" value="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL"/>
  </eAnnotations>
  <eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="MyTest">
    <eOperations name="testOperation" eType="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EString">
      <eAnnotations source="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore/OCL">
        <details key="body" value="name.concat('asdf')"/>
      </eAnnotations>
    </eOperations>
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute" name="name" eType="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EString"/>
  </eClassifiers>
</ecore:EPackage>


I want to use the operation testOperation() inside my template which is shown here:
[template public generate(m : MyTest)]
	
	[comment @main /]
	[file (m.name, false, 'UTF-8')]
	[m.testOperation()/]
	[/file]
	
[/template]


If I use this as an AcceleoPluginApplication, everything works. If I run this as a JavaApplication, the method could not be instantiated. The output then looks the following:
	org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.DynamicEObjectImpl@1fc8efd1 (eClass: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@40f892a4 (name: OclInvalid_Class) (instanceClassName: null) (abstract: false, interface: false))

Simon,

Acceleo Plugin applications mean "in Eclipse" while "Java Application"
mean "standalone". When running standalone applications, you have some
more things to setup (the things Eclipse does for you otherwise).

If I am not mistaken, you should have one (or more) report in your error
log (in Eclipse : Windows => show view => Error Log) saying that one (or
more) package(s) couldn't be found. You'll have to register those
packages as explained on
http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/UML2/FAQ#What.27s_required_to_lo ad_a_UML_.28.uml.29_resource_from_a_standalone_application.3 F
or
http://eclipsemde.blogspot.com/2010/06/package-with-uri-not- found.html
(these both use UML as an example).

There might also be some more things to setup from an OCL point of view,
but I don't think so.

I had to register OCL delegates. Otherwise, the methods could not be invoked. Maybe, this code should be included into the abstract transformation class which is also generated.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the follow-up, I've raised bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=325760 in order to track this issue and for us to remember that there might be something to do for this.
