Loading XMI fails due to unresolved references that are provided by the LazyLinker when using DSL [message #1722003] Tue, 02 February 2016 08:34 Go to next message

I want to be able to save instances of my DSL to XMI on occasion, especially for network transmission rather than the DSL itself. I have some transient types which are added to instances of the DSL as part of the Lazy Linker process, and thus these work just fine when loading the DSL model.

I have the saving of the XMI model working fine, but the issue occurs when I try to load that XMI instance back, I get a Unresolved reference '//@builtInTypes.0'

Is there a way I can get the Linker process to run for loading XMI resources, or am I completely misunderstanding this whole process.

I have created a sample project which demonstrates the issue.

https://github.com/pellcorp/xtext/

The test case is:

you dont move the builtin types to the xmi resource. why not? if they are not in a resource, not even an artifical one, this wont work.
this is why in the serialized xmi there are xtext links.

even if you make the reference untransient (and adopt transientvalueservice instead)
there is only any as type contained in the hidden list

This is just an example of the kind of model constructs my company uses in their model, but due to size an IP reasons, I had to create a fairly arbitrary model based on the class Entity modelling examples.

When I tried to do serialisation to XMI with our real model I encountered a problem with the transient types, so extended the entity modelling to include them.

I am not well versed in this particular part of EMF, so I did not realise this was required.

Your suggestion worked a treat at least for this simple example. I added a transient value service and changed the post process ext file to set the built in types and hidden types to transient=false

https://github.com/pellcorp/xtext/blob/master/com.pellcorp.mydsl/src/com/pellcorp/mydsl/services/MyDslTransientValueService.java

I was able to serialize to and from XMI just fine

Thank you
