hi,

how could I generate code from file.uml that contain a model and profile.

thanks .

Asma,

As far as I know, the only provided way to generate code from a .uml
file is to import it into EMF's Ecore/GenModel and generate the code
from there. You'd use the same new EMF project wizard as documented in
EMF's tutorials but you'd choose UML as the source of your model. I'm
not sure your profile information would get converted to Ecore
EAnnotations though...

hi Merks,
thank you for your help but profile information did not be converted (It
generate only java classes representing classes in the model)
when I tried to generate code from the profile (I ignore all option before
loading the profile ) profile;genmodel is inaccessible
there was problems like:
there may not be features named visibility
there may not be features named isreadonly....

I will do it in reverse (I will create my profile in java code)
thank you
asma

Hi Charfi,

Ed's previous response correctly points out how to generate code from your
model with profile.
Profiles add extra information to an existing model and (some of) that
information will be taken into account when converting your model.
Internally, the .uml model is converted to .ecore and then code is generated
from that.

If you want, you can generate code from your profile first and then generate
code for your model. You don't mention what your ultimate goal is but you
might want to consider static profile definition.

I'm not sure why you are seeing the errors regarding "visibility" and
"isreadonly" mentioned below.

Regards,

- James.

Hi James,

thank you for you relpy!
I generated .ecore and .genmodel from my .profile.uml but I ignored this
warnings:
after choosing UML model to create my ecore and genmodel,I have to load my
profile file and here I got a warning msg:
"problems were encounterned processing the models" the details are:
--operation 'uml'::transition::isconsistentwith' should be annotated as
redefinition of operation 'uml::redefinedelement::isConsistentWith'(many
warning like this one)
--discard operation 'uml::Class::inherit' because it is a duplicate of
inherited operation 'uml::Classifier::inherit',(many warning like this one)
--feature 'uml::class ownedAttribute' should be annotated as redefinition of
feature 'uml:StructuredClassifier::OwnedAttribute'(many warning like this
one)

My ultimate goal is to use myprofile.editor.presentation.myprofileEditor to
reference my profile:
I want to add constraints to my profile (on steretypes and then extract them
inorder to parse and evaluate them)
so to extract them from profile( I think that I need)
myprofile.editor.presentation.myprofileEditor

Is this right?

thank you again
asma

Hi Charfi,

It sounds like your profile is not being specified properly. Can you either
list the steps you use to create your profile or provide a sample so I can
have a look. Are you following the steps outlined in the "getting started
with profiles" article?

When you say that you want to extract your constraints and parse them are
you using OCL? Some OCL integration support was added this past iteration.
It would seem more useful to dynamically evaluate the constraint once your
profile is applied to a model to ensure model integrity but you mention you
want to evaluate your constraint from the profile's generated editor is that
right?

Regards,

- James.

Hi James,

yes I followed "the getting started with profile" article.
I create a simple profile with 2 stereotypes that reference metaclass Class.
one of them have a property and constraint (when I add property I use: new
child->owned attribute property cause I did not have attribute(as specified
in the article) in my list).

I want to extract constraints using OCL,and I will evaluate them on model.
I thought that I have to use the profile generator editor because I saw that
extracting constraints from "metamodels" are using metamodels generated
editor
also, I need a namespaseUri to specify the constraints using
constraintProvider from emf validation (this namespace is provided with
..ecore model)
that's why I thought that I need to generate code from profile.
I want to use emf validatin/ocl to verify constraints, because it works with
metamodels so it should works with profiles
I hope tha I can do it :)
thanks a lot.

asma,

Support for evaluating OCL constraints is currently only provided for static
profiles (i.e. in an EMF-generated implementation of the profile). Support
for evaluating stereotype constraints on elements to which the stereotypes
are applied is something that a tool based on UML2 would typically provide
(we can't support it in the UML editor because we don't want to introduce a
dependency on OCL)...

Hi kenn,
I did not understand what static profile is ?
which tool (based on UML2 ) would typically provide evaluating constraints
added to a profile?
what do I want to make is feasible or not? (plugin for evaluating stereotype
constraints on elements to which the stereotypes are applied )
thank you

asma,

Sorry, static profiles are profile for which EMF has been used to generate
code (i.e. a static implementation). Support for static profiles was
introduced in this release of UML2, and allows implementation of derived
stereotype properties and streotype constraints, among other things.

I wasn't referring to a specific tool, but to the notion that support for
evaluating stereotype constraints using an OCL engine (like the one provided
by the OCL component of MDT) needs to be provided by a component/application
that has dependencies on UML2 and OCL... perhaps even the UML2 Tools
component of MDT can/will provide this kind of capability.
