Working with Dates [message #61315] Sun, 09 September 2007 21:05 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm a ATL newbee still trying to come up to speed. Having problems with
models that contain java.util.Date attributes.

To simplify and reproduce the problem, I modified the Author2Person
examples to include an Author birthDate attribute and a Person birthday
attribute. (By Adding each attribute as a EDate EType in the
Author.ecore and Person.ecore metamodels.)

After those metamodel changes I was able to use the Sample ECore Model
Editor to edit the authors.ecore model and add the values to the
birthDate attributes.

My authors.ecore model now looks like this...
---------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns="Author">
<Author name="David" surname="Touzet"
birthDate="2000-11-11T00:00:00.000-0600"/>
<Author name="Freddy" surname="Allilaire"
birthDate="2001-08-22T01:00:00.000-0500"/>
</xmi:XMI>
----------------------------------------------



Here is my modified Author2Person.atl ...
--------------------------------------------
module Author2Person; -- Module Template
create OUT : Person from IN : Author;

rule Author {
from
a: Author!Author

to
p: Person!Person (
name <- a.name,
surname <- a.surname,
birthday <- a.birthDate
)
}
---------------------------------------------




When I run the atl I get the following console errors:

SEVERE: ****** BEGIN Stack Trace

Any one have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong and/or what is the
proper approach when working with Date dataTypes.

thanks for any help?

Hi John,

First, could you please try to stick with this newsgroup rules and
prefix all of your messages about ATL with an [ATL] prefix. The reason
is explained there http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2M. Thanks in advance.

Concerning your question, the fact is that ATL does not support Date
primitive type (or any other "Java" primitive types wrapped by EMF other
than the ones detailed there
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL_Standard_Library#Primitive_Types).
Your next question would be why? The answer is that ATL has been
developed as a model handler (like EMF) agnostic model transformation
language and as a superset of OCL. Then, being able to use some
implementation specific primitive types would break those foundations.

I suggest you to use String for your date, or to define a meta class
Date in your metamodel.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mikael

To complete my previous post. You could also develop your own model
handler implementation that support these primitive types. It may be
valid if one of your metamodel is defined by a third party, but try to
avoid it in other cases (especially just for a Date ;)), because it can
be costly.

Mikael

Yes, that is a good reason.

I'll try one of your two suggestions.
