I have two metamodels on of them uses
ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2003/XMLType#//DateTime
Now I try to map EDate into DateTime, which is in Java java.util.Date into javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar
So I have written a Java Library to do the conversion:
public Date createDate(String dateStr) {
return (Date)EcoreFactory.eINSTANCE.createFromString(EcorePackage.eINSTANCE.getEDate(), dateStr);
}
@Operation(contextual=true)
public static XMLCalendar getXMLCalendar(Date self) {
return new XMLCalendar(self, XMLCalendar.DATETIME);
}
I registered all extension points, like in the example. The library and registration works with other methods like createDate from the example. But only this getXMLCalendar doesn't work:
var date : ecore::EDate := createDate('2008-10-31'); // works
var dateTime := date.getXMLCalendar(); // doesnt work, error marker here
The error marker says: Cannot find operation (getXMLCalendar()) for the type (EDate)
Can anybody point me to the right direction?
I have registered the extension for metamodel http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore.
Regards,
Mark

Hi
Well found. It seems that the tooling could be more helpful.
Would you like to raise a Bugzilla with the failing repro, and some
suggestions about what warnings might have made your life easier?

Yes, we require strict type equality. For return types, we could also accept subclasses of the specified Java instance class. For param types, we could also accept superclasses of the specified Java instance class. However, we could easily run into problems with ambiguous Java declarations. That is already a problem if two EClasses share the same Java instance class.

That is something I don't understand. You don't register a blackbox under a namespace URI. In fact you specify the namespace URIs of candidate metamodels to scan for EClasses with suitable Java instance classes. On registration of your blackbox, just specify both URIs, ecore and XML.
