Hallo,

by the transformation from UML::Package to XSD::XSDschema, I become the following error : "Cannot infer model extent for the type 'xsd::XSDSchema'. Specify extent explicitly". I don't know what does mean.
please help me.
thanks!

Hi Youssef,

Would be great if you can provide a code snippet producing the error.
Typically, this is reported for an object instantiation when the compiler
is not
able to determine the model extent (associated with an [out] model
parameter)
in which the new object should live.

Hallo Radek,

thank you for your answer.
a code seems:
modeltype UML "strict" uses 'http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML';
modeltype XSD "strict" uses 'http://www.eclipse.org/xsd/2002/XSD';

transformation uml2xsd(in uml:UML, xsd:XSD);

main() {
uml.objectsOfType(UML::Package) -> map package2schema();
}

mapping UML::Package::package2schema() : XSD::XSDSchema {
// here the error
// Cannot infer model extent for the type 'xsd::XSDSchema'. Specify extent explicitly
}

Hi Youssef,

You declare 2 input model parameters, so the compiler complains it can't
find an output model extent where to create new objects.

Note that your second model parameter does not specify direction kind,
taking [in] by default.

I admit, it is a bad message ;). we have to improve that.
