[QVT] Calling QVT transformation from within java class [message #1007526] Wed, 06 February 2013 10:30 Go to next message

Hi all, this is my first post in Eclipse forum.
I've a question regarding QVT execution from within a java class.

I've to transform an ecore model to an ecorediag model programmatically, I've created an "Operational QVT Project" that contains my ecore model and qvto transformation file that I run with "Run As -> Run Configuration -> Operational QVT Interpreter" that lead to generate ecorediag as expected.

After that I've created a java project with a single java class having only main method, just to call qvto transformation.
I've followed this example, my code is

URI transformationURI = URI.createURI("platform:/resource/myPrj/transforms/myTrasf.qvto", true);
TransformationExecutor executor = new TransformationExecutor(transformationURI);
ExecutionContextImpl context = new ExecutionContextImpl();

ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
Resource inResource = resourceSet.getResource(
URI.createURI("platform:/resource/modelPrj/model/myModel.ecore"), true);		
EList<EObject> inObjects = inResource.getContents();

As you can see it's basically the same code, but this throws an exception on

Resource inResource = resourceSet.getResource(URI.createURI("platform:/resource/modelPrj/model/myModel.ecore"), true);


The exception is
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'platform:/resource/modelPrj/model/myModel.ecore'; a registered resource factory is needed


Another test I did, following "loadUmlModel" method from this code, I've changed my code to
EcorePackage.eINSTANCE.getClass();
Resource.Factory.Registry reg = Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE;
Map<String, Object> m = reg.getExtensionToFactoryMap();
m.put("http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore", new EcoreResourceFactoryImpl());

URI transformationURI = URI.createURI("platform:/resource/myPrj/transforms/myTrasf.qvto", true);
TransformationExecutor executor = new TransformationExecutor(transformationURI);
ExecutionContextImpl context = new ExecutionContextImpl();

ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(EcorePackage.eNS_URI, EcorePackage.eINSTANCE);
resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("ecore", new EcoreResourceFactoryImpl());
Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("*", new EcoreResourceFactoryImpl());

URI inUri = URI.createURI("platform:/resource/org.elt.ecore2html/model/tat.ecore");
Resource inResource = resourceSet.getResource(inUri, Boolean.TRUE);

try {
	inResource.load(m);
} catch (IOException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}

This code throws an exception on
Resource inResource = resourceSet.getResource(inUri, Boolean.TRUE);
with message Exception in thread "main" org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl$1DiagnosticWrappedException: java.io.IOException: The path '/modelPrj/model/myModel.ecore' is unmapped.
I don't know how to map that path, and what map it with.


Does anyone know how to solve this issue and how to execute QVT transformation from within a java class?

Thank you,
Gabriele Pongelli.

Hi

Sorry for the slow response; busy ...

Your first problem that you solved yourself was failing to register a
Resource Factory.

Your second problem was use of a platform:/... URI in a standalone
environment.

If you are working standalone alone it is easiest to just use absolute
createFileURI s.

If you really want to use platform URIs then you need to initialize the
Ecore registries, probably using EcorePlugin.computePlatformURIMap().

None of these problems are anything to do with QVTo or Java; just normal
EMF working practice.

Regards

Ed Willink

Hi Ed, don't worry about slow response Wink
My comments are below.

I used "platform:/.." URI because this class will be included inside a plugin, I've already changed to an absolute path with the remind to change to a relative one when this code will be merged inside plugin.

I'll try Wink

Where can I find other EMF's working practice? Are there books or links?


Thank you!

Hi

The EMF book is very helpful in many areas, but there are so many
corners that it is impossible to cover all of them, and the minor but
significant changes in the last few years are missing.

I've not seen a clear exposition of the URI policy that causes so much
trouble for hybrid Eclipse/standalone users. I developed
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.domain.utilities.ProjectMap to hide most of the
difficulties. Very recently, the EcorePlugin functionality has been
enhanced making ProjectMap redundant for many use cases.

Did you mean EMF: Eclipse Modeling Framework - Dave Steinberg, Frank Budinsky, Marcelo Paternostro, Ed Merks - Second Edition 2009 ?

I've looked at ProjectMap and EcorePlugin classes and I'm trying to let URI works.



Thank you Wink !!

hi all,
In the same context, I execute perfectly qvto M2M transformations using java code but only in the case of 2 model parameters (i.e. source and target model). What should I change in my executor so I can execute an in-place transformation? is the use of the class BasicModelExtent() necessary?

Thank you,
Chadi

I solved it. In fact, I was facing another anoying error (a demon loop) which made me think that the error is in my correct java code, sry Embarrassed. thanx anyway
