| Customising the source codes generated from a model by EMF [message #427289] |

Hi all,
If I would like to modify the Java Interfaces that are generated from an
EMF model, ie the outputs as a result of right-clicking the root model
object in xxx.genmodel, what is the recommended way to achieve that?
If I import an industry standard XSDs like those defined in Universal
Business Language (UBL) from OASIS to obtain an EMF Model, what is the
best way for me to generate Java Interfaces from the model? For eg, a
Purchase Order in XSD format will result in PurchaseOrderValue,
PurchaseOrderKey, PurchaseOrderException POJOs and a CRUD service such as
PurchaseOrderValue getPurchaseOrderByKey(PurchaseOrderKey) throws
PurchaseOrderException. Create a UML2 profile on a UML2 Model?
To be more specific, the EMF tutorials show an example of how
LibraryPackage.java is generated from Library EMF model. Can I customise
the generation engine to generate LibrarySessionBean.java for use in an
EJB3.0 container instead?
Thank you.
Yeu Wen

Probably it's generally better to keep the service separate from the
data model.

The org.eclipse.emf.examples.generator.validator example shows how to
specialize the generator to produce additional artifacts as opposed to
changing how existing files are generated, which is done with dynamic
templates.

Hi Ed,
Thank you for the hints. Unfortunately, I am unable to find
org.eclipse.emf.examples.generator.validator example in my plugins folder.
I am using EMF 2.4.1 now.
Can you provide more details of the above example as I really want to
generate additional java interfaces from the EMF model created from the
original input XSDs?
Thank you.

Also, you mentioned about keeping data separate from services below. Can
you elaborate please?
I plan to have both of them generated from the same EMF model.
The other approach I am contemplating is to import the XSDs into UML2
graphical editor, apply transformation into a service and a data models
(for eg each datatype from the XSD will result in 4 CRUD service
interfaces and 1 ValueObject interface (all platform-neutral), then apply
a profile to generate EJB interfaces for the service interfaces and a POJO
for the ValueObject interface. Is this approach with the current maturity
level of EMF and UML2 tools?
Thanks.

Given that I haven't a clue what you're doing it's hard to elaborate
much. I just imagine that the basic generated model ought to be just a
data model and that services that use it are in a separate class...

You can do pretty much anything you can imagine, but given that EMF
already supports XSD->Ecore and there is an Ecore graphical edit (Ecore
Tools) I don't see any need for UML. Also, given that EMF already
fully support CRUD for instances conforming to an XSD, it's not entirely
clear what else you mean by CRUD. Of course I know very little about
what EJBs need...

When I was referring to applying a profile below, I mean the UML2
profiling mechanism to extend UML metamodel, for eg a <<EJBSession>>
stereotype applied to an interface modeling element (or classifier) would
generate an EJB Java interface in the last step of the approach I have
outlined below.
Is that possible to do using Ecore graphical editor tools?

After reading the example source, I am still not sure what makes the 2
additional templates - ModelDescription.txtjet and Validator.javajet -
picked up by the EMF to generate ModelDescription.java and Validator.java.
Also, I am not sure what to do with the class files in
org.eclipse.emf.examples.generator.validator package. Sorry I am quite
new to the platform.

Yeu Wen,
EMF only supports EAnnotations but the could be used for similar purposes.
