Using existing .uml file in textuell modell? [message #56624]

I have a graphical representation of my business system including all
requried classes. Now I have to define a mapping between gui and
persistence attributes. I'd like to do this in a textuell modell.
Therefor I need the graphical modell as input of my textuell modell.
Is it possible to import the existing uml modell?

Hi Michael,

do you want to migrate your existing graphical model to a textual model
or do you want to refer to elements in your graphical model from your
textual model?

I expect some conrete syntax like:

import 'path/to/uml/file.uml'

keyword Something refers ExistingClass ...

The grammar would look like:

grammar foo.bar with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

import 'http://ns.uri.of.uml.metamodel' as uml
generate mappingModel 'nsuri'

Model:
'keyword' name=ID 'refers' umlClass=[uml::Class]

This should work out of the box with Xtext if you use the default import
feature. It may be necessary to implement a scope provider to resolve
references properly.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

I don't know what's easier... At the moment I only work with the graphical
modell and I don't know if and howto work on two different modells in
different modell slots. So it could be necessary to migrate the existing
modell, but I don't know...
Do you have any experience with such a situation?

Greetings,

Michael

Hi Michael,

I don't think that I understood your usecase. Please decribe the input
models, their relationship and transformations and what you want to
achieve. Maybe it's easier to attach your workflow-file.

Regards,
Sebastian
