URI mapping and proxy resolution [message #1433832] Mon, 29 September 2014 05:49 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
My client application is capturing and sending forward
ChangeDescriptions across the wire and applying them to a model on the
server. These are created using ChangeDescription.copyAndReverse(). For
simple ChangeDesriptions (one's that don't include 'objectsToAttach'),
my URI mapping works great, proxies resolve and the apply() works fine
on the server.

But proxy resolution is only partially working when the
ChangeDescription includes 'objectsToAttach' that themselves have
proxies to resolve. Here's a serialized example of a ChangeDescription
that is not working.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<change:ChangeDescription xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:change="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2003/Change"
xmlns:rml="http://www.rowtown.org/RML/1.2.0">
<objectChanges>
<key href="simulated-regatta.rml#_0GftdTQqEeSfEe7w4GdblA"/>
<value featureName="results" referenceValue="//@objectsToAttach.0"/>
</objectChanges>
<objectsToAttach xsi:type="rml:Results">
<split time="08:12:24.030">
<timingMilestone
href="simulated-regatta.rml#_0GfsozQqEeSfEe7w4GdblA"/>
</split>
</objectsToAttach>
</change:ChangeDescription>

The first proxy in <objectChanges> get mapped and resolves just fine.
This allows the apply() to properly attach the objects to the target
model, except it doesn't resolve the proxy within the 'objectsToAttach'
that points to the very same resource, but references a different object
in the fragment. I thought that maybe the uuid for the unresolved object
didn't exist, but it does. Here it is:

<timingMilestone xmi:id="_0GfsozQqEeSfEe7w4GdblA" name="Starting Line"
order="1"/>

Here's a snippet of what the model looks like after the apply().

<racingCrew xmi:id="_0GftdTQqEeSfEe7w4GdblA"
crew="_0GftaTQqEeSfEe7w4GdblA" laneNumber="1" bowNumber="27">
<results xmi:id="_CNigQEc5EeS-B7w8xwh6GQ">
<split xmi:id="_CNigQUc5EeS-B7w8xwh6GQ" time="08:12:24.030">
<timingMilestone
href="simulated-regatta.rml#_0GfsozQqEeSfEe7w4GdblA"/>
</split>
</results>
</racingCrew>

What could cause one proxy URI to be converted, while another with the
same URI in the same ChangeDescription does not?

Do I need to do something special to get the inner (timingMilestone href
in my particular case) proxy to resolve during the
ChangeDescription.apply() process?

I see. Note that there is also support for directly producing a reverse
description. You can see how
org.eclipse.emf.test.core.change.ChangeDescriptionReverseTest tests that...

I see they're both relative URIs, so that looks good. Note that upon
deserializing these are likely absolute URIs in the eProxyURI.

Is the resource into which it's added in the same resource set as the
change description? (A brute force solution might be to call
EcoreUtil.resolveAll on the change description first). If all else
fails, set a conditional breakpoint in
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.BasicEObjectImpl.eResolveProxy(InternalEObject),
but given the URIs look correct, it's most likely that the object is
moved to a resource that's not in a resource set and hence is not able
to resolve proxies...
