Hello There

I am trying to use EMF Forms with my custom Details Page which is placed
on an Form Editor.

Attaching the PageDetails Class for your reference.
I am using the following code

try {
ECPSWTViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render(composite, (EObject)firstElement);
} catch (ECPRendererException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

And on running i am getting this error.

!ENTRY org.eclipse.jface 4 2 2015-07-03 13:02:21.555
!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in:
"org.eclipse.jface".
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.spi.model.util.ViewModelUtil.resolveDomainReferences(ViewModelUtil.java:53)
at
org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.internal.context.ViewModelContextImpl.instantiate(ViewModelContextImpl.java:202)
at
org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.internal.context.ViewModelContextImpl.<init>(ViewModelContextImpl.java:142)

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Malai

Hello There

I read further in your tutorial and understood that when i put the
ViewRenderer on an editor, References required a Context as explained in
your tutorial
http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/tutorials/getting-started-with-EMF-Forms/#embbededitor

I even attempted to write my own Custom Renderer but even then i am
getting a null pointer exception.

Help required pls.

Regards
Malai

Hi,

Looking at the stracktrace I think that no viewmodel could be found/created for Units.
Could you check if the org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.model.provider.generator bundle is included in the run configuration? This provider will generate a default view model.
If you have modelled the view, make sure that the org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.model.provider.xmi bundle is part of the run config and that you are registering the view at the org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.model.provider.xmi.file extension point.

I hope this will solve the problem. Otherwise I would need a running demo including target definition.

Best regards
Johannes
