Hello,
I have defined two models, PVA and PVAI.
Instances of the PVAI model can contain references to instances from the PVA model.
I am using the EMF generated Java classes, and have successfully serialized and deserialized my PVA model to and from XMI. It loads fine in the Eclipse dynamic instance viewer.
I also managed to serialize my PVAI instances, including their references to the PVA model. However, I am unable to correctly deserialize it. The referenced objects are instantiated as proxy objects with all fields 'null'.
The PVAI instance will also not correctly load in Eclipse, with the referenced fields being left blank.
The strange thing is, using a combination of the UnresolvedProxyCrossReferencer and EcoreUtil.resolve, I am able to replace the proxy objects by the concrete instances from the PVA instance.
Why is the XMI loader unable to automatically resolve my proxies? It seems to be able to find (and create) the resource of the corresponding PVA instance.
This is my current code (written in Kotlin, which compiles to JVM bytecode. If it is too confusing, if this is a problem, I will rewrite it to Java when asked):
fun loadPVAIfromXMI(location : File): PVAIContainer {
println("Starting reading .pvai file")
val outURI = URI.createFileURI(location.absolutePath)
val resourceSet = ResourceSetImpl()
val resource = resourceSet.getResource(outURI,true)
resource.load(null)
//This doesn't do anything
//EcoreUtil.resolveAll(resourceSet)
//Fixes unresolved proxies by resolving them (somehow has to be done manually)
EcoreUtil.UnresolvedProxyCrossReferencer.find(resource).forEach { unresolvedProxy ->
unresolvedProxy.value.single().set(
EcoreUtil.resolve(unresolvedProxy.key,resourceSet)
)
}
val result = resource.contents.first() as PVAIContainer
println("Finished reading .pvai file")
return result
}

Yes, sounds like an unresolved proxy. What is the eProxyURI of that object?

That shouldn't be necessary.

Proxies aren't resolving during loading. They're created and later
resolved upon first access.

The load call is redundant. The resource is already loaded at this point.

What is the "key"?

Hi Ed,
Again, thank you for your reply!
I agree that manually replacing the objects shouldn't be necessary.
Actually, I also implemented the same loading operation using Eclipse Epsilon (using the EmfModel class), which correctly resolves the references in the PVAI model.
However, I also require that Eclipse is able to correctly load my .pvai files.
Before mentioning all kinds of URIs, it might be worthwhile to mention that I have my models at the following locations on my drive:
C:/.../<working_dir>/CalculationTest_1.pva
C:/.../<working_dir>/CalculationTest_1.pvai
The URI of the PVAI model resource is
file:/C:/.../<working_dir>/CalculationTest_1.pvai
The eProxyURI of the object in the PVAI model with the 'null' fields is as follows:
file:/C:/.../<working_dir>/CalculationTest_1.pva#6325842526577706469
Where the number is an existing ID in the PVA instance.
<templateTypes ... UUID="6325842526577706469" ...>
The proxies show up with 'null' fields in my debugger. I also tried printing the contents (and accessing the fields through the respective getX() methods), but this yielded the same result.
On to the code comments:
Quote:The load call is redundant. The resource is already loaded at this point.
Thank you for pointing this out, I interpreted the getResource() method as being lazy-loaded, and tried to force loading through this instruction.

The UnresolvedProxyCrossReferencer returns a map of pairs (a,b) where a is an unresolved proxy, and b the object containing the proxy.
In this specific case the resulting map consists of 10 elements, all being references to the PVA model. Including the proxy with the uri mentioned earlier in this post.
The fact that Epsilon is able to correctly load this model leads me to think that I may have made some mistakes on setting up the ResourceSet, however the only difference is that I load the PVA model as well. I tried manually loading the PVA model, but this didn't help in the resolution of the proxies. Another interesting fact is that the PVA model gets added to the resourceSet after invocation of the line
EcoreUtil.resolve(unresolvedProxy.key,resourceSet)
Do you have any other clues on what might be wrong?
