Hello to all readers,
I know that my question has been asked before, but still I do not
understand what happens.
I have a simple UML activity as an .uml (in xmi format) created with
Eclipse UML2 tools (see below). I dump this input with the predefined
dump.jet template,
and almost all information is missing: types, attributes, ids.
Why and where is this information lost? The UML Model editor and other EMF
tools
have all the necessary information. Is Jet somehow tailored to class
diagrams?
Or is this a configuration error on my part?
Any help will be appreciated.
Kurt

Kurt:
Heres what's happening:
1) JET 'loads' your .uml file by finding an EMF-registered Resoure.Factory
for .uml files. With it, JET loads the uml file and gets a Resource
implementation that contains UML2 objects such as Model, ....
2) during XPath expression execution, JET is mapping XPath steps to
features/class names of the UML2 metamodel. For example:
/Model/ownedElements/@name does the following matches:
a) the initial / maps to the loaded EMF Resource instance
b) the text Model maps to all contained objects of the Resource whose type
is Model.
c) the text ownedElements maps to all the getOwnedElements() collection of
all objects matched by b)
d) the text @name maps to the getName() method of all objects matched by c)
3) the c:dump tag is trying to render the loaded model as an XML document.
It has no idea that the document was originally serialized as XMI. What it
does is traverse the document using XPath expressions like ./* and ./@*
looking for contained elements and attributes (as the XPath engine sees
them). Because EMF-based models are richer than XML, there are some things
that c:dump does not find. In particular, it doesn't find: xsi:type
information or EReferences that are non-containing. All this is a limitation
of c:dump - The XPath engine can navigate you UML2 model.
Hope this helps.
