Transformation from TA to UPPAAL [message #1502683]

I have two metamodel the first one is timed automata , the second on is UPPAAL metamodel which was generated automatically using an XSD file , so I have written an ATL file to transform a TA model to UPPAAL .
The out put file wasn't as I expected .
Let me explain more throught an example
I should get this :
<location id="id2">
<name>task 2</name>
</location>
<transition>
<source ref="id1"/>
<target ref="id2"/>
<label kind="assignment">t=0</label>
</transition>

Instead I got
<location id="id2">
<name value="task 2"/>
</location>
<transition>
<source ref="id1"/>
<target ref="id2"/>
<label kind="assignment" value="t=0"/>
</transition>

When I generate the model conforming to the metamodel using emf generator model I obtain the structure that I want but unfortunately with the transformation I don't get the same result .

I just want an idea on how to allocate the problem.
Thank u Smile

Can you post your ATL launch configuration XML? You can obtain the launch config XML as follows:

Open your launch configuration using "Run -> Run Configurations..."
Go to the Common tab, and under "Save as" select "Shared file:"
Fill out a folder name, and click "Apply", then "Close".

A .launch file should now be saved in the folder you specified earlier.

EMF models generated from XSD should be referred to by their namespace URI, not the physical location of the .ecore file. You also need to have the generated UPPAAL EMF plugin installed in your Eclipse. This is because only the generated EMF code knows it should use the XSD to load/save models, instead of the generic XMI that is used normally.

Hi Dennis,
I have the same problem that Walma had.
please can you explain me more : "You need to have the generated UPPAAL EMF plugin installed in your Eclipse.", because i don't find this plugin on the internet.
and, as i understand I have to put also the emf generator model (uppaal.emf) in my project, but can you please explain how to use it to obtain the output file that i want.
Tahnks a lot

You can likely find the entire Eclipse plug-in where you found the UPPAAL metamodel, because they go together. The UPPAAL metamodel was generated from an XSD file in this case. You're likely using this metamodel, right?

If this is the case, the top-level project page has some more information on installing. I don't see any generated code for the UPPAAL metamodel, however. Please ask the author how to use the UPPAAL metamodel first.

hi,
I note that i work on a simplified uppaal.ecore that i created, because, i tried to work with the uppaal meta model that you proposed but it seemed complicated.
so should i create an xsd file that the generated uppal.xmi file should be conform to? can this be a good solution?
well, i tried to create this xsd file, but, the generated file doesn't seem to be conform to that xsd file. the question is, how to make a generated uppaal.xml file conform to a created xsd file.

regards

There's an EMF tutorial on using XSD with EMF: http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.emf.doc%2Ftutorials%2Fxlibmod%2Fxlibmod.html

hi Dennis, thank you a lot.
So i tried this tutorial, and i worked on the library.ecore generated example as my target metamodel as a test, i run the emf project as eclipse application, in the new eclipse instance i created my ATL poject, and as a target MetaModel i chose from EMF registry (as the generated library EMF plugin is installed in my Eclipse) and i did an ATL file for a simple transformation, but i don't get this format:
<books>
<title>Fellowship of the Ring</title>
i always get this instead:
<library:Book title="Fellowship of the Ring"/>
is anything wrong in the steps that i followed?

regards

Hi,
So i got the format that i want when i changed the extension of the target file to " .library" , so is it the only solution?

You indeed have to use the file extension specified in the genmodel file of the metamodel, e.g. ".uppaal".
