Hi,

I have to following problem:

I created a EmfModel object (org.eclipse.epsilon.emc.emf.EmfModel) and then try to load a model in this object.
Therefore I use the following code:

EglFileGeneratingTemplateFactory factory = new EglFileGeneratingTemplateFactory();
EmfModel emfModel = new EmfModel();
StringProperties properties = new StringProperties();
properties.put(EmfModel.PROPERTY_NAME, name);
properties.put(EmfModel.PROPERTY_METAMODEL_FILE, "file:/" + getFile(metamodel).getAbsolutePath());
properties.put(EmfModel.PROPERTY_MODEL_FILE, "file:/" + getFile(model).getAbsolutePath());
properties.put(EmfModel.PROPERTY_IS_METAMODEL_FILE_BASED, "true");
properties.put(EmfModel.PROPERTY_READONLOAD, "true");
//properties.put(EmfModel.PROPERTY_STOREONDISPOSAL, "false");
emfModel.load(properties, null);

factory.getContext().getModelRepository().addModel(emfModel) ;

I didn't receive an error message when I run my program so I think the loading of my model should work fine.

But my problem is that I'm not able to access any concrete data of the model.

Did I something completely wrong?

If necessary you can see in this thread how the model and the meta model looks like.

Best regards,

Hi Andreas,

At a first glance your code looks fine. Could you please be a bit more
specific on the "I'm not able to access any concrete data" issue? Are
you 1) getting an exception when you try to access data of the model, 2)
getting back nothing at all, or 3) not sure how to access data of the
model at all?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

thanks for your quick responce.

At the moment I try to access the data from the model with the following statment:

for(EObject eo : emfModel.allContents()){
System.out.println(eo.eAllContents());
}

But everything I get are empty brackets like
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]
...

Regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I'm a bit confused. Do you need to query your model using Java or using
one of the languages of Epsilon?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

mainly I want to use EGL to acess the data and generate a HTML Report from them.
But at the moment I just play around and try different solution to access the data.
At the moment it seems to me, that the problem is somewhere around the loading of the model (creation of the EmfModel class).

Regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Have you perhaps had a look at the following example?

http://eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/examples/index.php?example=or g.eclipse.epsilon.examples.standalone

Hi Dimitris,

yes I know this example.
More or less I took the part to load my model (creation of the EmfModel class) from this example.

But how could this example solve my issue? My problem is that my object emfModel of the type EmfModel does not contain the concrete data from the model I want to read.

Regards,

Andreas

Ok now I'm able to access my model within a EGL template.
See
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=175068

But I still cannot understand, why I'm not able to access the concrete data in the emfModel object.

To access the data of the model using Java you'll need to use the
reflective EMF API (eGet(), eSet() etc.) Below is a link to a tutorial
explaining bits of this

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-eclipse-dynamic emf/

but the definitive reference for this is the EMF book
