Hello,
I have a Ecore model wich contains elements with references. But I can't
access referenced content when process instance of a model serialized
into XMI using JET2 template. I unsuccessfully tried to access it as
attribute. Even result of <c:dump> doesn't contain any attributes of
processed XMI file. Example model, model instance and dump.xml are below.
Regards,
Vladimir
Example model:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ecore:EPackage xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" name="simple"
nsURI="http://simple" nsPrefix="smpl">
<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="SomeClass">
<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="reference"
upperBound="-1"
eType="#//SomeVar"/>
</eClassifiers>
<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="SomeVar">
<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute" name="name"
lowerBound="1" eType="ecore:EDataType
http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EString"/>
</eClassifiers>
<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="Container">
<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="vars"
upperBound="-1" eType="#//SomeVar"
containment="true"/>
<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="class"
eType="#//SomeClass"
containment="true"/>
</eClassifiers>
</ecore:EPackage>
Example model instance:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<smpl:Container xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:smpl="http://simple" xsi:schemaLocation="http://simple My.ecore">
<vars name="test1"/>
<vars name="test2"/>
<class reference="//@vars.0 //@vars.1"/>
</smpl:Container>
Resulting dump file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<contents>
<smpl:vars name="test1"/>
<smpl:vars name="test2"/>
<smpl:class/>
</contents>

Dear Paul,
I have the same problem but my reference is not multiple, so I can not
iterate over the $class/reference to obtain the @name attribute value.
However, I used
<c:get select="$class/@reference/@name"/>
and it does not work.
Maybe I have not configured correctly the Jet project to use a XMI model
based on EMF. Some ideas?
Thank you

Dear Paul / Vladimir,
Your example seems very easy to test, so I tried it. First, I created a
new EMFT Jet Transformation Project, copying in "sample.xml" the
instance model that appears below, and in "dump.jet" the jet code as you
wrote. After that I created a "simple.ecore" file with the example model
as appears later (without the <c:log> tags) and set the plugin.xml
modelschema field as "simple.ecore". Then, I executed the Jet project,
but the result was:
A quick navigation of your model
Vars:
name = test1
name = test2
Classes:
class
So references are not correctly managed!!!!
Is there some missing??? Is there any configuration step necessary to
say that the instance model is an EMF based XMI model?
Thank you in advance.

Hi:
$class/@reference/@name doesn't make much sense as an XPath expression, as
attributes don't have attributes. JET is loading the XMI file into EMF
EObjects, and what was an XML attribute 'reference' becomes an EMF
EReference, which JET interprets as an element. The expression
$class/reference/@name
should work better.
Quick literally, JET is unaware the the model is represented in XMI on disk.
All it has access to is the in memory representation that EMF defined. So
from the point of view of faithfully representing the XMI content, JET (and
EMF for that matter) are not succeeding. But, by using EMF, you get
capabilities (such as non-containment references) that are difficult to
accomplish in XML along.
