Creating new Xtext resource through code [message #1238459]

Hi all,
I am actually trying to create a new xtext resource through code.
For e.g I have created a project in my xtext tool (as dsl needs to be contained in a project) and under this project I am trying to create a xtext resource, add content and save it. What I have done actually is:

private Resource createandSaveResource(String path, MyModel Obj){
ResourseSet rs=new ResourseSetImpl();
Resource resource= rs.createResource(URI.createURI(path), true);
resource.getContents().add(obj);
[b]resource.save(Collections.EMPTY_MAP);[/b]
return resource;
}

Is it enough code to create the resource and add, save content to it.
rs.save(Collections.EMPTY_MAP) throws me a MalformedException: Unknown protocol d

How do I resolve it?
Can someone suggest me?

Thanks in advance Smile

Hi Christian,
In my case I have already a xtext editor in the project. On right click in the editor I have provided an option, which imports some data from the file. So I am making use of this xtext resource to get the path so the I can create new xtext resources.

My requirement is that: I have a xtext editor already. On right click , I select an option to import data. Now some data should be filled in this editor and rest data should go in newly created resources. So here its needed for me to create the resources.

Thanks in advance for your help Smile

Hi Christian,
The path is something like:
"D:/Arshad/Mymodel.dmodel". This is the path that I am getting through my code and not the hardcoded one.

If I create a file with the same path then I am able to create it. But getting problem with resource as explained above.

Thanks and regards,
Arshad

Hi Christian,
No, I did not try that one!
Do you think that's causing me the problem?
