Using OCLHelper and OCL API... Simple working example !? [message #1224383]

Hi,

I follow OCL Pivot programmer guid to create standalone java code that uses OCLHelper and OCL API's to parse and evaluate OCL query on a UML model (State machine). Simply we pass OCL query as sting and the model URI then we load the model and parse OCL query and return the result .! since I do not find a simple start-up and complete working example, I struggle with the following code (project attached as well) and I keep getting the following error :

Failed to load '_WseC8G46EeO2DthnKXWrzA.essentialocl'

Please any advice to fix this error in order to get OCL result. Is their any simple and complete working example do such functionality.

I appreciate your help

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	public List<String> exeOcl(String ModelPath, String OclString) {
		
		List<String> result = null;
		
		try{
			
			// ****** Load UML model ******
			baseModelURL = URI.createFileURI(ModelPath);

			ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
			resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(UMLPackage.eNS_URI, UMLPackage.eINSTANCE);
			resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put(UMLResource.FILE_EXTENSION, UMLResource.Factory.INSTANCE);
			resourceSet.createResource(baseModelURL);

			Resource resource = resourceSet.getResource(baseModelURL, true);

			Model umlModel = (Model) EcoreUtil.getObjectByType(resource.getContents(), UMLPackage.Literals.MODEL);

			System.out.println("The model is successfully loaded. " + "Model Name is : " + umlModel.getName());
			
			
			//**** OCL parsing OCL *******
	
	        OCL ocl = OCL.newInstance(new PivotEnvironmentFactory());

			//how to set the context !??
	        OCLHelper oclHelper = ocl.createOCLHelper(umlModel);
	       //OCLHelper oclHelper = ocl.createOCLHelper(UMLPackage.Literals.MODEL);
	       //oclHelper.setInstanceContext(UMLPackage.Literals.MODEL);
			 
			 ExpressionInOCL OclQuery = oclHelper.createQuery(OclString);
			 List<String> evaluateResult =  (List<String>) ocl.evaluate(umlModel, OclQuery);

			 
			  // loop in the list to printout the result 
			 while (!evaluateResult.isEmpty()){
				 System.out.printf("Rsults : " + "%s",evaluateResult);
			  }
			 
			 result = evaluateResult;
		}
		
		catch (ParserException e1) {
			System.out.println("Error ....");
			Diagnostic diagnostic = e1.getDiagnostic();
            System.out.println(diagnostic.getMessage());
		}
		catch(Exception e){
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
		}
		return result;
	}

thank you

Hi

I see no test project, but the imports show that you are using the pivot
code but seem to have ignored the "Pivot Standalone Configuration"
section of the documentation.

Hi,

I'm using OCL within eclipse as plugin project and according to the documentation no need for registration as explained in "Pivot Standalone Configuration".

Anyway, I add the following by as explained in documentation, but still keep getting " failed to load _-cKzAG9FEeOw1708PUAavA.essentialocl" exception!
by the way, the test project was uploaded in the original message and in this message as well.

is the problem in setting OCLHelper context or in the query or what? I did toooooo many trails for more than a week now and still getting same exception message !

any advice please

thank you for your help

//  **** registration and settings 
			org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.OCL.initialize(resourceSet);
			org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.uml.UML2Pivot.initialize(resourceSet);
			org.eclipse.ocl.examples.pivot.model.OCLstdlib.install();
			org.eclipse.uml2.uml.resources.util.UMLResourcesUtil.init(resourceSet);
			org.eclipse.ocl.examples.domain.utilities.StandaloneProjectMap.getAdapter(resourceSet);

Hi

Apologies. Your original message did indeed have a project attachment.
(I don't seem to be able to get Thunderbird to behave in a familiar way
on my new PC.)

You do not appear to be using OCL as a plugin poject, you are just using
a plugin manifest to assist in defining your standalone classpath. To
run your code as an Eclipse project you would need to provide some UI
action to invoke 'main', or a JUnit plugin test that invokes 'main'.

You therefore need the standalone setup steps. In particular
EssentialOCLSetup.doSetup() that will associate the Xtext editor/parser
with the *.essentialocl extension and so resolve your loading failure.

Regards

Ed Willink
