Quick model migration beofre using Edapt or Sphinx [message #1214190] Wed, 27 November 2013 10:32 Go to next message

Hi,
as many of you are probably used to this topic, we need to support the automatic migration of model within our tool.
Projects like Edapt or Sphinx are providing such features, but our internal process requires the validation of them before integrating them in our tool, which need some time...
What is the best strategy to implement a quick working and integrated solution? In more detail, where are we able to intercept and transform the changes in the model with EMF?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal

Pascal,

Without details about what you mean by migration it's hard to suggest
much of anything. Often you can use things like
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.XMLResource.OPTION_RECORD_UNKNOWN_FEATURE and
post process the result of loading (perhaps using
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.XMLResource.OPTION_RESOURCE_HANDLER).

Hi Ed,
indeed, the development of a metamodel and the according tooling leads in its lifecycle to some modifications that makes un-loadable models that have been developed with previous version of it.
For example, it is not a problem when adding attributes to some elements of the metamodel, but when renaming or suppressing some, the saved resource model won't be able to load properly. My goal is indeed to intercept in the loading process such event and post-process them to be able to load the model properly (with some know rules).
As I said, we are not able to use plug-ins developed for that purpose right now (like Edapt or Sphinx), but we need to implement a quick solution.
By the way, is there any comparison of solutions like Edapt or Sphinx or others available?
Regards,
Pascal

The options I suggest help deal with that. The resource will load and
the stuff that's not recognized is recorded "on the side".

So what I suggested is a good match for that?

You'll try what I suggested?

Not that I know of no...
