Acceleo: Cannot make c.id() works. [message #857527] Thu, 26 April 2012 16:11 Go to next message

Hi all,

In Acceleo, I am not able to used the id() related
to any XMI items I parse. In the MOFM2T, they present
the c.id() as returning the unique id of a UML!Class
(if c:Class).

From web searches, I found an old discussion on the access
of this id() via Acceleo services. Is this still the case in Acceleo ?

The 2009 discussion present this code snippet:
---
public String getXMIID(EObject element) { 
  if (element.eResource instanceof XMIResource) 
  return ((XMIResource)element.eResource()).getID(); 
  return ""; 
}

---

If I have to follow that advise, can somebody redirect me on a tutorial
or give a brief overview of how to access this code from a template.mtl
file ?

Regards.

Hi

The MOFM2T specification seems to use c.id() without ever defining its
semantics, so there is no guarantee as to how 'unique' an id might be.
Unique with respect to parent, resource, resource set, multiple sessions
??? PLease raise an OMG issue.

The Acceleo capability to 'invoke' a Java function is a very useful
solution to this kind of problem. Just invoke a function that returns an
incrementing static count and the query cache will ensure that re-calls
get the same value.

Thanks for your original post and for this answer.
I am completely new to this type of addin procedure.
Can you redirect me to a tutorial or provide me with
some keywords to get me started in this direction ?

Regards.

Hi

[query public javaString(aComment : Comment) : String =
invoke('org.eclipse.xtext.util.Strings',
'convertToJavaString(java.lang.String)', Sequence{aComment._body}) /]

Hello again,

In order to implement a java service, I followed the
tutorial Java services wrappers (Acceleo/Getting started].
I end up with the following problem: 

The Java service class 'org.eclipse.acceleo.module.sample.services.myservice'
does not seem to have been exported.


This error seems to have been reported in a bug previously.
I found some advises on the web, on getting the plugin.xml and to add
my package in the runtime tab of a window I cannot find.

Anybody, any hint on how to fix this ?

Ok, I was to quick on my previous reply, the tutorial described above shows where to continue on this invoke() setup.

Since you propose the getXMIID() implementation in a
precedent post, did you follow that solution to
reach uniqueness of your uml elements accross:

+ Time,
+ Sessions,
+ Packages,
+ ...


?

From your experience, what was finally your solution to this ?

Regards

Hi

I think I was only offering advice. For my own purposes I only need
uniquess for the duration of a transformation so a static counter works
well.

Thanks,

I will use what you first proposed getXMIid(), seems
to be perfect to me to guarantee uniqueness across all
line of abstraction (time, ...), although I do not
know on what base Papyrus creates these ids. I will
ask this on the correct Forum.

Regards.
