xmi:XMI root node to uml:Package root node [message #916423]

I need to write a very simple transformation (last phase of a huge one), just need to transform the XMI root node to uml:Package root node and copy rest of the elements as they are. How do I proceed to do this?

rule XmoToUml {
from s: ???????
to t: UML!Package (
packagedElement <- ?????????
)
}

Thank you

Hello,

XMI is just a serialization format for your models, what you have to consider when defining your transformation are the source and target metamodels.
In your case, UML seems to be the target metamodel.
You have to take a look to your source metamodel to identify the actual type of the root element in your input model.

Best regards,

Hugo

Dear Hugo,

The source model and the target models are the same, which is UML.
The root element in the source model in UML!Package. Unfortunately, I am not able to produce UML!Package root element in the target model. Model elements were being placed outside the root node by my transformation. Hence the target model contains xmi:XMI root node. This forces me to write a second transformation that would convert xmi:XMI root node to UML!Package root node.
You further guidance will be appreciated.
