Trouble Loading (Deserializing) EMF Document Outside Of Eclipse (Ganymede) [message #491993]

Fri, 16 October 2009 18:21

Eclipse User

I'm finally upgrading our product from Callisto to Ganymede and all is going well.

I have everything running both on Eclipse IDE and RCP, but I'm having trouble running without the plug-in infrastructure as a non-Eclipse java application.

My non-plugin JUnit test program simply creates a new EMF ecore document (we call this a Vocabulary) and then reads it back in (loadResource). During loadResource, we get an exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The class 'EClassifier' is not a valid classifier

This failure appears to occur when we try to deserialize the first EClassifier which happens to be an EClass. The debugger shows that the system believes the EClassifier to be "Feature Kind" integer value 3, which doesn't appear in the switch statement, resulting in this exception. Not sure whether this detail will be of any help to you.

See my stack trace below.

Here is the Ecore document that I'm trying to load. Note that it has some annotations for our extensions (not sure whether this is relevant):

When I first received this message, I thought that perhaps I wasn't initializing the EMF package registry (this has been a problem before when running outside of Eclipse). I have checked and this appears to be working correctly.

Thanks in advance for your attention.

I've learned this has to do with a difference in the SAX parser that is being selected. When running in Eclipse, I'm getting the parser that is in JDK 1.5.0_18, while running outside I'm getting one that we have on the classpath (Xerces 2.4.0). The Xerces 2.4.0 parser appears to be "namespace aware" while the other is not. This difference is at the core of the difference in behavior.
