ATL - error getting some fields from UML model [message #870503]

Hi,

I'm getting the follow error when I'm trying to read a UML file into ATL code:

org.eclipse.m2m.atl.engine.emfvm.VMException: The value of type 'class org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.DynamicEObjectImpl' must be of type 'class java.lang.String'

I've a UML sequence diagram as Input and it will generate a new UML file, however this error is appearing when I try to get the covered, or sendEvent, or receiveEvent or represents value from UML.

One rule is it:

rule msg {

from
y: UML!Message

to
w: input!mensagem (
name <- y.name,
sender <- y.sendEvent

)
}

I can get the name from tag "message" from UML (xmi) file.

Thanks in advance

I'm not an ATL user, but it looks like bad package registrations.

I suggest finding an ATL UML example that works and adapting it
gradually to your requirements.

Thanks for your answer Ed Willink.

So, I resolved it.
The problem was that was being returned a pointer and not a value. Then I needed to use it to pick up the value from another attribute from class that this pointer was pointing.

Dear Fernanda R.F.,
Can you tell me how you solved this problem.
I have the same problem.
Can you show me you corrected rule PLZ?

thank you

Hi

The previous answer makes no sense:

"The problem was that was being returned a pointer and not a value. Then
I needed to use it to pick up the value from another attribute from
class that this pointer was pointing."

OCL, ATL, and Java do not have pointers.

I suspect that the author was confusing OCL's collection navigation
operator "->" with C's pointer operator "->".

So it may be that the previous answer was identifying the need to use
the correct object "." or collection "->" navigation operator.

Dear Edward Willink,
Thank you for your reply.
I solved the problem Smile

the situation is as following :
I have a model a (conforms to MetaModel Ma) which references to some elements
in model b (conforms to MetaModel Mb)
I want to create a model c (conforms to MetaModel Mc) from model a while maintaining references to model b.

a(Ma) ------> b(Mb) ======> c(Mc)-------->b(Mb)

I found that in (Ma) and (Mc), my references are referred to two different metamodels (Mb).
So, I updated my references that referred to same metamodel (Mb).

Sorry, I saw it just now. I used the following steps to solve it:

metamodel!Class->allInstances.asSequence().field1.asSequence().first().field2

So, as some fields in my xmi was pointing to another fields, for example, ownerId as being called into sendEvent, so I wanted the sendEvent from that message, because of it I couldn't get the ownerId from the beginning of the xmi, I needed to use allInstances and asSequences with different fields to get the id.
