Hello I try to adapt a test and validation which was made on workbench on the compiler Titan? Think you that there is a compatibility with both compilers workbench and Titan?

Hi Boubacar,

for sure there will be compatibility issues.
Three of such areas are granted: codecs, test ports/test adapters and external functions, as these are not standardized but implementation -dependent.
Besides these, there might be smaller ones arising from different degrees of adherence of the two tools to the standard etc.

But overall, the exercise is doable. For reference pls. look into this topic:

https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1074256/

where have converted a large-ish test suite to Titan. ( ETSI test suites are validated with TT Workbench , but not with Titan-at least this was the practice so far - so ETSI test suites are closer to Workbench; 3GPP test suites are validated both with Workbench and Titan so those present less conversion problems).

If you encounter any problems doing conversion, we'll be glad to help.

Best regards
Elemer

Hi Elemer
Is there any way to compile the files parsed by TTWorkBench (the .ttcn3view files) with Titan? Or do I need to rewrite them in other syntax and format?

Hi Alexandre,

as far as I know, .ttcn3view files are TTCN-3 files representing the explicit conversion of an XSD or ASN.1 file.
(BTW Titan imports ASN.1 implicitly, without generating intermediate artifacts as the .ttcn3view files, and imports XSDs explicitly ,
converting the XML schemas into TTCN-3 files, which are in a way equivalent to the .ttcn3view files).
As such , these .ttcn3view files should be compileable directly with Titan.

However, this should be avoided.
in the light of the above,
1)instead of .ttcn3view files for ASN.1 it is preferred to import the ASN.1 files directly
2) instead of .ttcn3 view files for XSDs it is preferred to generate the intermediate
.ttcn files with xsd2ttcn

(see https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1077272/ for XML conversion and codecs)

The main reason for this is that the xsd2ttcn converter will also generate the encoding instructions needed for Titan to automatically generate the codec functions.

For instance , the following file, oma_xml_xdm_common_policy.ttcn3view
(downloaded from http://forge.etsi.org/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=LIBS.LibSip&path=%2FLibSip%2Ftrunk%2Fxsd%2Foma_xml_xdm_common_policy.ttcn3view&peg=426)

module oma_xml_xdm_common_policy {
  import from XSDAUX language "TTCN-3:2009" all; 

  type record EmptyType {
  }

  type record AnchorType {
    XSDAUX.anyURI anc optional,
    record of record {
      charstring name,
      anytype value_
    } anyAttributes optional
  }

  type record External_list {
    record of AnchorType entry optional
  }

}
with {
  encode "SupplementaryServices";
}


was generated from oma-common-policy.xsd ( you can google it up if interested in details)


The same XSD file converted with xsd2ttcn will result in:

module urn_oma_xml_xdm_common_policy {


import from XSD all;


/* OMA specific "conditions" child elements */


type EmptyType Other_identity
with {
  variant "name as 'other-identity'";
  variant "element";
};


type record External_list
{
	record of AnchorType entry_list
}
with {
  variant "name as 'external-list'";
  variant "element";
  variant (entry_list) "untagged";
  variant (entry_list[-]) "name as 'entry'";
};


type EmptyType Anonymous_request
with {
  variant "name as 'anonymous-request'";
  variant "element";
};


type record AnchorType
{
	XSD.AnyURI anc optional,
	record of XSD.String attr optional
}
with {
  variant "name as uncapitalized";
  variant (anc) "attribute";
  variant (attr) "anyAttributes";
};


type record EmptyType
{

}
with {
  variant "name as uncapitalized";
};



In the first case, the codec is hidden behind the
with {
  encode "SupplementaryServices";
}

expression, which will invoke the codec code;
in the second case, encoding appears explicitly in form of encoding variants which will be used by Titan to generate the codec code.

Similarly, Titan will generate BER codec for ASN.1 , but not for the equivalent .ttcn3view.

In conclusion , the answer to your question is that it is possible, but you should avoid it. .ttcn3view files are intermediate artifacts specific to the way of working of TT Workbench and have little meaning for Titan.

I hope it makes sense

Best regards

Elemer

Hi
That sounds clear to me, thank you. I have an other question, how do you import .jar files into eclipse titan project? I didn't find any option in properties to add path(s) or whatever.

Hi Alexandre,

creating hybrid TTCN-3 - Java code as shown previously is an experimental feature, we don't have an established workflow for it and
the plug-ins have no support for it.

You will probably have to tweak the Makefile manually for a basic level of support.

Best regards

Elemer

Hi Elemer
Is it necessary to build manual makefile? What is what the adaptation of the file workbench in Titan obliges to have a file .cfg necessary for compilation?
Best regards

HI Boubacar,

no , in general the Makefile should be generated by utilities supplied with Titan;
on command line you have the makefilegen utility (see par 3.2.1 of userguide); the Designer also presents a similar option.

My comment was referring to the particular situation of mixing TTCN-3 and Java code.

You will have to assemble a config file manually though; that will not be used for compilation, but during execution; here you will have to define module parameters (see https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1077635/), test port parameters, logging parameters etc.

I assume workbench has a similar config file (maybe not in the form of a file, but graphical options). Certainly there is no automatic conversion option, so one cannot escape assembling the Titan config file manually.

I hope this clarifies the issue.


Best regards

Elemer

Hi Elemer
is it possible to make a communication between program Titan and a program Java according to this scenario : the program Java send a message to the program Titan who the recive and send an answer an other one program Java or the same program Java?

Best regards

Hi Boubacar,

yes, it is possible. However, if you want such a complex hybrid architecture, I'd recommend you to use language-agnostic APIs , based on for instance JSON;
please check previous posts

https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1070141/
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1070600/


for examples and hints.

Hi Elemer
I want to make an example as on this link; https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1076977/ except when Titan executes the program, he send the verdict to the program Java which posts him.
Please help me.
Best regards

Hi Elemer
I have no idea how to write this program. It is just an idea which I want to test if it is possible. Thus I shall want to know if it is possible how we can make him ? Especially how to recuperate and send the verdict to the program Java.
Best Regards

Hi Boubacar,

to build it , please read through the original post; all information should be there.
In the use case described there, TTCN-3 invokes a Java function which returns a result, so communication is more or less unidirectional.

As I mentioned, this is only a proof of concept, we don't have extensive experience with TTCN-3/Java hybrids, so we cannot offer a lot more help.
As these hybrids are rather complex, one should really consider whether they are really worth the effort.


Best regards
Elemer
