inter-model references - java code [message #62411]

Hi everyone,

Im using inter-model references in my metamodel. After enabling inter-model
references in the launch configuration
everything works fine. I only get problems when trying to invoke the
transformation with java:

Im trying to load a model conforming to ecore with the following java code:

AtlEMFModelHandler amh =
(AtlEMFModelHandler)AtlModelHandler.getDefault(AtlModelHandl er.AMH_EMF);
ASMModel model = amh.loadModel("IN", amh.getMof(), modelURI);

which gives me the exception:
org.eclipse.m2m.atl.drivers.emf4atl.ASMEMFModel addReferencedExtentsFor
WARNUNG: Resource for org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@10bbf9e
(eProxyURI:
http://.../language/componentmodel.ecore#//AbstractFragmentT ype) is null;
cannot be referenced

Are inter-model references not supported at all or is there any way to do
this?

Best regards,
Felix F

Hi,

Could you please remember to use the appropriate prefix in the subject
of your posts? (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2M)

Is your transformation taking an Ecore metamodel as source:

create OUT : TargetMM from IN : Ecore;

?

Hi,

actually it does not matter. I didn't even launch the transformation yet.
All I do is trying to load the ASMModel which is stored in my workspace and
contains some references.

e.g.
<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="ReuseAbstraction">
<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="reuselanguage"
lowerBound="1"
eType="ecore:EClass
http://www-st.inf.tu-dresden.de/reuseware/language/component model.ecore#//AbstractFragmentType"
containment="true"/>
....

2)
Is it possible to transform an ASMModel (output) to a List of EObjects or
one EObject which is the root element of the model tree?
I tried using
amh.saveModel(asmModel, outputstream);
InputStream inputstream = new
ByteArrayInputStream(outputstream.toByteArray());
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(cwd);
try {
resource.load(inputstream, Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
EObject root = resource.getContents().get(0);

throws:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workspace is
closed.

The error you get happens when the meta-model is not found/loaded. If
you're using an Ecore meta-model by URI, ATL waits for Eclipse to load
and register the meta-model. As soon as you load your model, its Ecore
meta-model should be available. Apparently, this did not happen in your
case.

Outside Eclipse, you must load and register Ecore meta-models yourself:

ok, so you're accessing your workspace...?

*snip*

There we are: workspace closed. Your workspace is only accessible from
within Eclipse, i.e. Eclipse plugins and Ant tasks run within the same
Java VM. You cannot access the workspace from normal Java applications.
Java applications are typically run standalone in their own VM, even
when launched from within Eclipse.

In case you were not trying to access the workspace: there's a known bug
in saveModel():
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=202069

This bug is fixed in CVS.

Hi,

thanks for your help. I was able to solve most of the problems by using a
plugin istead of a stand-alone application.
I have got one problem left though:

ATL looks like this:

module Test;
create OUT : Persons from IN1 : MOF, IN2 : MOF2;

i.e. I want to use two input models with internal names "MOF" and "MOF2"
conforming to the EMF metamodel. In the launch configuration I can simply
select the checkbox "is metamodel" (handler is EMF) for both MOF and MOF2
and then specify the input files IN1 and IN2. Works fine.
With java code I try to use "handler.getMOF()" to get the metamodel. This
only works fine for the first input model since its default name "MOF"
corresponds to the internal name used in the module.
If I try that with the second model I get the error "message: cannot find
model MOF2". How can I solve this?
I somehow need to change the name of the "handler.getMOF()" returned object
to "MOF2".
Is that possible? How? If not, can I load a new model with name "MOF2" which
is the EMF metamodel? How would I do that?
I hope this was comprehendible.

Best regards,
Felix.

The name of the metamodel in the ATL program (e.g., MOF, MOF2) should be
used as the key when you build the map of models.
For instance:

Map models = new HashMap();
models.put("MOF", handler.getMOF());
models.put("MOF2", handler.getMOF());

May I ask why you use two different names instead of just one?

Hopefully, this message answers your question ;-).

OK. I thought the name of the metamodel (returned by
"model.getName()") should be the name of the metamodel in the ATL
program.

Well, I simply want to have to different matching rules for two
different input models.
e.g.
--matches Eclasses from inputModel IN
from
class: MOF!EClass
to ....

and
--matches EClasses from inputModel IN2
from
class : MOF2!EClass
to...

Am I doing something too complicated? But it works now!

2)
I use
handler.saveModel(model, uri);
to save back the ecore file.
The file is saved to the right place but I still get a
ResourceException whether the file exists or not. Does anyone know
where that comes from?
(see below)

Thanks, regards,
Felix.

This was originally the case. However, ATL now supports complex
transformation chaining (e.g., using ant scripts), which makes this
inappropriate.

Well, if you are using ATL 2006, then you could do something like:

--matches Eclasses from inputModel IN
from
class: MOF!EClass in IN1
to ....

and
--matches EClasses from inputModel IN2
from
class : MOF!EClass in IN2
to...

You may need to update to a more recent version (e.g., CVS HEAD).

Actually I have two helpers that traverse MOF and MOF2 respectively
searching for EClasses with a certain name:

let coll : Sequence(MOF!EClass) =
MOF!EClass.allInstances()->asSequence()->select(...
and
let coll : Sequence(MOF2!EClass) =
MOF2!EClass.allInstances()->asSequence()->select(...

I tried (MOF!EClass in IN2).allInstances()->asSequence()->select(...
that does not work.

Can I still use just one name for the model and use the helpers?

Kind regards,
Felix.

I would suggest using allInstancesFrom:

let coll : Sequence(MOF!EClass) =
MOF!EClass.allInstancesFrom('IN1')->asSequence()->select(...
and
let coll : Sequence(MOF2!EClass) =
MOF2!EClass.allInstancesFrom('IN2')->asSequence()->select(...
