Defining Relation-based Edge for Xtext Domainmodel [message #1634148] Wed, 25 February 2015 05:56 Go to next message

I have a problem on defining relation-based edge (Sirius) for properties in Xtext's domainmodel example.

I am trying to define Sirius based graphical editor for Xtext's example domainmodel whose ecore model (generated by Xtext) is attached below.

I was able to define container representing "Entity" but was not successful for doing the same with edge representing Entity's reference to other Entity.

Xtext grammar is:

grammar org.eclipse.xtext.example.domainmodel.Domainmodel with org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.Xbase

generate domainmodel "http://www.xtext.org/example/Domainmodel"

DomainModel:
	importSection=XImportSection?
	elements+=AbstractElement*;
	
AbstractElement:
	PackageDeclaration | Entity;

PackageDeclaration:
	'package' name=QualifiedName '{'
		elements+=AbstractElement*
	'}';

Entity:
	'entity' name=ValidID ('extends' superType=JvmParameterizedTypeReference)? '{'
		features+=Feature*
	'}';

Feature:
	Property | Operation;

Property:
	name=ValidID ':' type=JvmTypeReference;

Operation:
	'op' name=ValidID '(' (params+=FullJvmFormalParameter (',' params+=FullJvmFormalParameter)*)? ')' (':' type=JvmTypeReference)? 
		body=XBlockExpression;


Probably above is the same grammar as one found here (http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation.html#_6).

I would appreciate any advice on "target finder expression" in the edge definition. Do I need to define helper function in Java?

Thank you

Maybe I'm missing something because I'm not familiar enough with Xtext,
but from a quick look at the .ecore, I don't see any way in which an
Entity references another Entity. The only references I see in an Entity
are to its "superTypes" (from JavaVMTypes.ecore), and to contained
Features, which themselves don't seem to have references to any Entity.

Thank you very much for the response.

This is what I suspected. In Xtext, reference to other Entity would probably be resolved with Xbase (JvmTypeReference). I will try to modify the grammar (or .ecore file) to find cleaner target finder expression.

Thank you again for your help.
