Hi,

I'm trying to use EMF in a servlet so I'm having to create a lot of the
default environment by hand. To start up my model I'm trying to do the
following:

FlowchartPackage flowchartPackage = FlowchartPackage.eINSTANCE;
FlowchartFactory flowchartFactory = FlowchartFactory.eINSTANCE;

// Create a resource set and register the package and resource factory
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(flowchartPackage.getNsURI(),
flowchartPackage);
resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getContentTypeToFactoryMap().put(fileExtension,
new XMIResourceFactoryImpl());

// Generate the root object
FlowDiagram flowDiagram = flowchartFactory.createFlowDiagram();
EcoreUtil.setID(flowDiagram, EcoreUtil.generateUUID());

// Create the file uri & resource to save
File file = new File("test." + fileExtension);
URI fileURI = URI.createURI(file.getAbsolutePath());

/////// This returns null?
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(fileURI);
/////// This causes a null pointer exception as a result
resource.getContents().add(flowDiagram);

I thought that adding the package and the XMI resource factory by hand
was all I required to create resouces but I must be missing something.
Any suggestions on what I need to do?

Thanks for any help, Nigel.

Hi

You may get on better using the extension factory map for extensions.
