[ATL] Using own model implementation instances instead of DynamicEObjImpl as in/output [message #697901]

Hello,

I am experimenting with ATL these days. As far as I understood the input and the output of a transformation is an XMIResourceImpl instance. I have as input the instance of my source metamodel and I also need as output an instance of the target metamodel and not DynamicEObjectImpl instances. Is there an elegant way to do this? How can I make the conversion between DynamicEObjImpl instances and "MyModelImpl" instances?

Thanks,
Eszter

Eszter,

As long as your models are available/registered in the package registry,
the deserializer should find a use them.

Hi,

for launching the transformation I am using the main method generated by the New > ATL Plugin Wizard.
In the method loadModels I registered my packages:

public void loadModels(String inModelPath) throws ATLCoreException {
  ModelFactory factory = new EMFModelFactory();
  ResourceSet resourceSet = factory.getResourceSet();
  Registry registry = factory.getResourceSet().getPackageRegistry();
  
  Map<String, Object> extMap = resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap();
  extMap.put("ecore", new EcoreResourceFactoryImpl()); //$NON-NLS-1$
  extMap.put("cache", new CacheResourceFactoryImpl());
  extMap.put("om", new OMResourceFactoryImpl());

  CachePackage.eINSTANCE.eClass();
  OmPackage.eINSTANCE.eClass();

  registry.put(CachePackage.eNS_URI, CachePackage.eINSTANCE);
  registry.put(OmPackage.eNS_URI, OmPackage.eINSTANCE);

  // the generated code
  IInjector injector = new EMFInjector();
  IReferenceModel cacheMetamodel = factory.newReferenceModel();
  injector.inject(cacheMetamodel, getMetamodelUri("cache"));
  IReferenceModel omMetamodel = factory.newReferenceModel();
  injector.inject(omMetamodel, getMetamodelUri("om"));
  this.inModel = factory.newModel(cacheMetamodel);
  injector.inject(inModel, inModelPath);
  this.outModel = factory.newModel(omMetamodel);
}

Now loading works fine, but as result I still get DynamicEObjImpl instances.
I also tried to register my packages to the global package registry, but the result didn't change.
What else am I missing?

What's the nsURI of the model for which you're ending up with dynamic
instances, i.e., what's the value of
eObject.eClass().getEPackage().getNsURI() for the problematic
instance? Is that URI registered?

The NS_URI of the instances is http://www.eh.com/ducx/model/2011/om, same as OmPackage.eNS_URI that I used here

registry.put(OmPackage.eNS_URI, OmPackage.eINSTANCE);

I also added these lines, but still no improvement:

Map<URI, URI> uriMap = resourceSet.getURIConverter().getURIMap();
uriMap.put(URI.createURI("http://www.eh.com/ducx/cache"),
	URI.createFileURI("E:/workspaces/workspacemodelling/org.eclipse.m2m.atl.cachetoomplugin/Resource/cache.ecore"));
uriMap.put(URI.createURI("http://www.eh.com/ducx/model/2011/om"),
 	URI.createFileURI("E:/workspaces/workspacemodelling/org.eclipse.m2m.atl.cachetoomplugin/Resource/om.ecore"));

Set a breakpoint in XMLHandler.getPackageForURI and see why it's not
finding the package for that URI.

This is exactly the type of thing that could cause it to use a dynamic
model.

Hi Ed,

million thanks for this precious breakpoint location! I figured out a few things:
1. In my cache2om.properties file I had to use instead of the metamodel paths the nrUris, otherwise the EMFInjector replaces my OmPackageImpl and CachePackageImpl with ObjectEPackageImpl.
2. Also without all the initialization source code that I wrote in the previous posts the packages were correctly registered ... which I don't understand exactly yet.
3. The method XMLHandler.getPackageForURI method was not called at all for my http://www.eh.com/ducx/model/2011/om but in the end now I get om istances!!

So my problem is solved, but I still need to figure out a few things, otherwise I end up thinking that there is some black magic inthere Razz

Thanks a lot!

Ok. point 2 is no black magic, I didn't delete my package registration lines.
