Hi,
I am trying to work out how I can use emf xsd to create the following
snippet of XML. I just cannot work it out at the moment.
<xs:element name="itemName">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="ref"/>
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="a"/>
<xs:element name="b"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Everything is fine until I try to create choice part. How can I add a
choice to the sequence using the Java API?
Thanks,
Stuart

Please open a bugzilla and I'll make that change.

I see that "choice within a sequence" should have been supported in EMF
2.0.
http://www.codegeneration.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleI d=38
The immortal words of Dave Steinberg were:
"Work on EMF 2.0 is progressing, and we should start making builds
available in the near future. The biggest improvement will be in the
Ecore representation of models described using XML Schema, which will be
able to represent mixed content and more complex model groups, like a
choice within a sequence. The goal is to fully support all features of
XML Schema."
I am assuming that since I am now using EMF 2.2.0 this should be available
to me?
I would be very thankful for any help on this matter.
Thanks,
Stuart

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed

Stuart,
If, after this line in
XSDPrototypicalSchema.initializeSimpleRecursiveModelGroupDef inition,
// Add the wildcard particle to the model group.
//
modelGroup.getContents().add(wildcardParticle);
I add the following:
XSDParticle choiceParticle = xsdFactory.createXSDParticle();
XSDModelGroup choiceGroup = xsdFactory.createXSDModelGroup();
choiceGroup.setCompositor(XSDCompositor.CHOICE_LITERAL);
choiceParticle.setContent(choiceGroup);
modelGroup.getContents().add(choiceParticle);
this result is produced:
<xsd:group name="simpleRecursiveModelGroupDefinition">
<xsd:annotation/>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"
ref="PTS:simpleRecursiveElementDeclaration"/>
<xsd:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>

Stuart,
This discussion was related to mapping XML Schema to Ecore. The XSD
model has always supported being able to produce any syntactically valid
XML Schema instance.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the response. I'm looking at the answer and I'm left somewhat
scratching my head. I've tried it and it worked fine, what I'm not sure
about is how I didn't end up with the same end result yesterday. I think
my problem must have been that was that I was assigning it to the
complexType and therefore the sequence was being substituted with the
choice.
Works a treat.
Thanks a lot,
Stuart

I originally tried to do the following where
nameAndAddressHdrAnonymousTypeModelGroup is of type XSDModelGroup:
XSDModelGroup choice =
XSDSchemaBuildingTools.addModelGroupDefinition(nameAndAddres sHdrAnonymousTypeModelGroup,
"subtypes", XSDCompositor.CHOICE_LITERAL, new Vector());
This came back to me with an IllegalArgumentException
"addModelGroupDefinition doesn't know how to add it to component:
org.eclipse.xsd.impl.XSDModelGroupImpl@3df3db (element: [xs:sequence:
null]) (compositor: sequence)"
Looking at the code that you provided it looks as though the
XSDSchemaBuildingTools method is incomplete.
// Add the group either to a type by adding it as a
// particle or to a schema by adding a definition
if (component instanceof XSDComplexTypeDefinition)
{
XSDParticle modelGroupParticle = xsdFactory.createXSDParticle();
modelGroupParticle.setContent(modelGroup);
((XSDComplexTypeDefinition)component).setContent(modelGroupP article);
}
else if (component instanceof XSDSchema)
{
XSDModelGroupDefinition modelGroupDef =
xsdFactory.createXSDModelGroupDefinition();
modelGroupDef.setName(localName);
modelGroupDef.setModelGroup(modelGroup);
((XSDSchema)component).getContents().add(modelGroupDef);
}
else
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException("addModelGroupDefinition doesn't
know how to add it to component: " + component);
}
Should this have an instanceof clause for XSDModelGroup too?
Thanks,
Stuart

In XSDSchemaBuildingTools.addModelGroupDefinition(..) I have put the code:
else if(component instanceof XSDModelGroup)
{
XSDParticle particle = xsdFactory.createXSDParticle();
particle.setContent(modelGroup);
((XSDModelGroup)component).getContents().add(particle);
}
This works fine. Perhaps I could suggest it as a change to
XSDSchemaBuildingTools.java.
Thanks,
Stuart
