Invoke QVT In JAVA [message #726033]

Fri, 16 September 2011 08:55

My code are as follows:
/******************************************************************************/
//transformationURI is the URI of qvto file
TransformationExecutor executor = new TransformationExecutor(transformationURI);

//inResource have the vaule of inModel
ModelExtent input = new BasicModelExtent(inResource.getContents());
ModelExtent output = new BasicModelExtent();

ExecutionContextImpl context = new ExecutionContextImpl();

ExecutionDiagnostic diagnostic = executor.execute(context, input, output);

/******************************************************************************/
My problem is that executor.execute(context, input, output) only succeeds occasionally when i can get the right value in output; but most of the time when i call System.out.println(output.getContents().toString()); i only get empty ie [] ...
does anybody know where the problem would be? waiting on line for solution:-)
Thanks

Since sometimes i could get the right output so i guess the problems doesnot lie in the code.. am i right?

Maybe our problem is related. I posted a topic called "[QVT]

Ed Willink suggested (to sum it up...) to test everything again and if
the error occurs (again) create a bugzilla report.
I will do this as soon as I have some time left.

It sounds like a stupid trick but we called the transformation in a loop
and check the result. If it is bad we transform everything again, if it
looks OK we take it :). I hope this helps you a little bit.

cheers

hey thank you for your answer:-) do you think is there any possibility that the version conflict cause this problem?

While i donot know, but i find something weird. when i run a new instance of eclipse , i could only succeed the second time i push "begin to transform" action(where i realized this action to invoke qvt by jave code)..the first time always failed and after the second time too..

does anybody know what this could be?

Hey i got the solution~~ by changing the position of EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.put().. actually i put this in the transform.java file where i write the ExecutionDiagnostic diagnostic = executor.execute(context, input, output);code
now i change this to Activator.java where i extends AbstractUIPlugin..
so i guess this EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.put() could be only done once..

Hi,

to join this discussion about possible QvT bugs in combination with
programmatic execution in JAVA, I've developed a transformation and
running it standalone in eclipse via "Run as..." works seamlessly,
however, as soon as the transformation is embedded inside an eclipse
plug-in, somehow only half of the transformation is done, however, I get
no exception or anything else. Could this be another possible bug in QvT?

Cheers,

Philipp

hi,

sorry for inconveniences, simply forgot a deepclone in my code.

Just for your information:
I have now created a bugzilla report for my problem. Since I think that
it is similar to yours I mentioned that in the bugreport.
Here is a link:

Maybe if you have some more information you could add that to the report :-)

Best wishes

Hi,I am new here and I have a similar problem:

code:
Diagnostic diag = executor.loadTransformation();
//EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.put(ABCPackage.eNS_URI, ABCPackage.eINSTANCE);
//Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("abc", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl());
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(ABCPackage.eNS_URI, ABCPackage.eINSTANCE);
Resource inResource = resourceSet.getResource(inputFileURI, true);
ModelExtent input = new BasicModelExtent(inResource.getContents());
ModelExtent output = new BasicModelExtent();
ExecutionContextImpl context = new ExecutionContextImpl();
context.setConfigProperty("keepModeling", true);
ExecutionDiagnostic result = executor.execute(context, input, output);
**********************************************************************************
when I call System.out.println(output.getContents().toString());
System.out.println(result.toString());
i get
[]

Sohaib,

Could you posted the first few lines of the transform? What I'm
guesing is that you have your meta-models specified explicitly as
references to the ecore. I've found that when running the transform
using the ExecutionDiagnostic you need to reference them by their URI.

e.g. If your ABCPackage.eNS_URI = http://example.com/model

Then your transform would have:

modeltype ABC "strict" uses 'http://example.com/model';

rather than an explicit reference to the ecore. The QVTO compliler
will then find the correct EPackage from the registry when it compiles
the transform.

I'm also not sure if it work successfully on transforms with an
explicit file URI, I think I remember finding that I had to use a
platform URI, so if you're running this as a JUnit plugin test for
example you'd have:
platform:/plugin/org.emf.transformation/NewTransformation1.qvto

As the workspace project will become a plugin at execution. If you're
referring to a workspace QVTO it would be:
platform:/resource/org.emf.transformation/NewTransformation1.qvto

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your reply,

here are the 3 first lines of my trivial transformation:

modeltype ABC "strict" uses "h t t p:///ABC.ecore";
transformation HelloWorld(in source:ABC, out target:ABC);

when I use a platform URI :platform:/resource/org.emf.transformation/NewTransformation1.qvto I get:

Could not find unit 'platform:/resource/org.emf.transformation/NewTransformation1.qvto'
Did i miss something?

As I expected, I think you need to refer to the model by its namespace
URI not the ecore. What is the namespace of the ecore model itself?

How are you running this? If it starts up an OSGi runtime then your
current workspace is no longer the running workspace, there will be a
separate one created for the runtime. The chances are your workspace
projects will become runtime plugins so the project
org.emf.transformation wthin your development workspace will become the
plugin org.emf.transformation in the runtime.

How are you executing the code? Is it wrapped in a JUnit test?
IApplication? I it's a Java application with static void main(args[]) I
could not get this to work as too much of QVTO is tied to the OSGI
runtime.

using Java application with static void main

I see!! so should I use the Eclipse/OSGi runtime and a
platform URI (i.e platform:/plugin/org.emf.transformation/NewTransformation1.qvto)?

Okay, I tend to go with something like http://example.com/my/model/ABC
(where the domain is usually something you own) but that will probably
still work if it's registered in the EPackage registry

hi Harald,

I havn't been here for a while now. I think the Evil or Very Mad

trick wich cost me too much time to solve that issue was running the qvt invocation code within a "public static void main" class (launch as java application), but tnx to Alan I used OSGI platform instead and it works Cool
