Access Model tree in a IEditorActionDelegate [message #558303]

Hi,

I have an action in my menubar that should convert teh parsed model of a .hlm (my DSL) file to some other format. I define my convert class as follows:


package org.xtext.example.hlm.ui;

import org.eclipse.jface.action.IAction;
import org.eclipse.ui.IEditorActionDelegate;
import org.eclipse.ui.IEditorPart;
import org.eclipse.ui.actions.ActionDelegate;

/*
 * Perform static checking on the HLM model.
 */
public class MyHLMStaticChecker extends ActionDelegate implements IEditorActionDelegate {
	
	public void run(IAction action) {
		System.out.println("Executing command static checker!!!!");
	}
	
	public void setActiveEditor(IAction action, IEditorPart targetEditor) {
		
	}
}

However, I need the root of the parse tree (i.e., HLMModel object) for process while the run() function only sends in an IAction.

How do I get access to the root of the parse tree for this model which is sitting in foo.hlm? I tried,

org.xtext.example.hlm.myHLM.MyHLMPackage.eINSTANCE but that returns an EClass() object while I need a HMLModel() object.

Thank you for any ideas.

Hi,

is the setActiveEditor method called before the run? In this case you
IEditorPart should be an XtextEditor which you can ask for the
XtextDocument, using a readonly-/modifyUnitOfWork in order to perform
the action.

Hi
Thanks for the response. I've been able to get the xtext editor/document. However, how do I use the IUnitofWork tin the readOnly()? So far I have the following code but I'm not sure how to call the readOnly() function.

In my DSL, the root-level object is of type HLMModel.



package org.xtext.example.hlm.ui;

import org.eclipse.jface.action.IAction;
import org.eclipse.ui.IEditorActionDelegate;
import org.eclipse.ui.IEditorPart;
import org.eclipse.ui.actions.ActionDelegate;
import org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.XtextEditor;
import org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.model.IXtextDocument;
import org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.model.XtextDocumentUtil;
import org.eclipse.xtext.util.concurrent.IUnitOfWork;
import org.xtext.example.hlm.myHLM.HLMModel;

import java.lang.RuntimeException;;

/*
 * Perform static checking on the HLM model.
 */
public class MyHLMStaticChecker extends ActionDelegate implements IEditorActionDelegate {
	
	//private XtextEditor myxtext;
	
	public void run(IAction action) {
		System.out.println("Executing command static checker!!!!");

		// Get Xtext editor.
		XtextEditor myxtext = org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.utils.EditorUtils.getActiveXtextEditor();
		if (myxtext == null)
			throw new RuntimeException("XtextEditor is null. Serious problem.");

		// Get the document.
		IXtextDocument hlmdoc = XtextDocumentUtil.get(myxtext);
//		HLMModel model = hlmdoc.readOnly(new IUnitOfWork<HLMModel, XtextResource>());
		
//System.out.println("Startup state is " + p.getStartup().getName().getName());
//System.out.println("No of states " + p.getStates().size());
		}
	
	public void setActiveEditor(IAction action, IEditorPart targetEditor) {
		
	//	if (targetEditor != null)
		//	myxtext = (XtextEditor) targetEditor.getAdapter(XtextEditor.class);
	}
}

The DSL looks like this:



HLMModel : {HLMModel}
	(startup=Startup)
	(states+=State)+;
	
State :
	'state' name=ID '{'
		(actions+=Action)?
		(conditions+=Condition)*
		(defaults=Default)
	'};';
	
Action :
	'actions' '{' (acts+=Act)+ '},';

Act:
	name=ID;

Condition :
	'cond' '(' (conds=Lconds) ')' '{' name=[State] '},';

Lconds:
	name=ID;
	
Startup :
	'startup' '{' name=[State] '};';
	
Default :
	'default' '{' name=[State] '}';

Essentially what I want is this:

ResourceSet rs = new ResourceSetImpl();
Resource resource = rs.getResource(URI.createURI("./mymodel.dmodel"), true);
EObject eobject = resource.getContents().get(0);
HLMModel hlm = (HLMModel) eobject;

But I'm wondering how to get this from the XtextEditor without having to do the rs.getResource(URI.createURI(..)) inside the run() method.

Finally got it to work!



	public void run(IAction action) {
		System.out.println("Executing command static checker!!!!");

		// Get Xtext editor.
		XtextEditor myxtext = org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.utils.EditorUtils.getActiveXtextEditor();
		if (myxtext == null)
			throw new RuntimeException("XtextEditor is null. Serious problem.");

		// Get the document.
		IXtextDocument hlmdoc = XtextDocumentUtil.get(myxtext);
		
		// Safely make a copy of the HLM model to process further.
		// See http://koehnlein.blogspot.com/2010/06/semantic-model-access-in-xtext.html
		HLMModel hlmmodel = hlmdoc.readOnly(new IUnitOfWork<HLMModel, XtextResource>() {
			public HLMModel exec(XtextResource resource) throws Exception {
				return EcoreUtil.copy((HLMModel) resource.getContents().get(0));
			}
		});
		if (hlmmodel == null)
			System.out.println("HLM model is null!");
		else {
			System.out.println("Startup state is " + hlmmodel.getStartup().getName().getName());
			System.out.println("No of state is " + hlmmodel.getStates().size());
		}
	}

Hi,

it is not recommended (discouraged) to return the model or parts of it from a unit of work. You may be on the safe side as you create a copy (but I am not expert enough to judge that).
Usually you would perform the action within the unit of work.
