There must be a workaround for this problem. I would like to what it is.

Mucho thanks to who ever knows this.

I generated an EMF graph from the a schema that contains the following fragment. The fragment shows and element and it's type:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://standards.ieee.org/IEEE1516-2010" xmlns:ns="http://standards.ieee.org/IEEE1516-2010" targetNamespace="http://standards.ieee.org/IEEE1516-2010" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" version="2010">
<xs:element name="objectModel" type="objectModelType"/>
<xs:complexType name="objectModelType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="modelIdentification" type="modelIdentificationType" minOccurs="0">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>documents certain key identifying information within the object model description
</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:element>
...more xsd...

The generated EMF cannot read the following, valid XML. It fails at the first element shown:

<objectModel xsi:schemaLocation="http://standards.ieee.org/IEEE1516-2010 http://standards.ieee.org/downloads/1516/1516.2-2010/IEEE1516-DIF-2010.xsd" xmlns="http://standards.ieee.org/IEEE1516-2010" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
...more xml...

and yields the following error:

org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl$1DiagnosticWrappedException: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.ClassNotFoundException: Class 'objectModel' is not found or is abstract. (file:/Users/gcr1/hopeWorkspace/interaction-injection/output/TripleFederation.xml, 2, 252)

Did you use the generated resource factory to create the resource that you used to load this XML instance?

No I dd not. I can't do that. I must use documents generated by others, but that conform to the schema I am using to generate.

That answer doesn't make sense. You must use the generated resource factory to create the resource that you use to load such an XML instance.

What follows is how I am attempting to load the resource. It works when I load an XML resource that was created and saved using EMF. Do I need something else? I don't see where my generated factory (_2010Factory) comes into the picture.

ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(EcorePackage.eNS_URI, EcorePackage.eINSTANCE);
resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xml", new XMLResourceFactoryImpl());
java.net.URI uri = new File(aValidFileName.xml).toURI();
Resource resource = resourceSet.getResource(URI.createURI(uri.toString()), true);
EObject eObject = (EObject) resource.getContents().get(0);

If you invoke Generate Test Code in the GenModel it will generate a test project that includes a sample for saving and loading instances. It will be named XyzExample.java, I suppose for you that would be _2010Example.java (given you mention _2010Factory). It looks like this for the LibraryExample.java

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    // Create a resource set to hold the resources.
    //
    ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
    
    // Register the appropriate resource factory to handle all file extensions.
    //
    resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put
      (Resource.Factory.Registry.DEFAULT_EXTENSION, 
       new LibraryResourceFactoryImpl());

    // Register the package to ensure it is available during loading.
    //
    resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put
      (LibraryPackage.eNS_URI, 
       LibraryPackage.eINSTANCE);

So I imagine you must have a _2010ResourceFactoryImpl (in the util package of the model project) that you should use and should register your _2010Package.eINSTANCE...

Hi

You must also use your _2010ResourceFactoryImpl in

resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put
(SOME_EXTENSION,
new _2010ResourceFactoryImpl ());

where SOME_EXTENSION might be Resource.Factory.Registry.DEFAULT_EXTENSION, or "*", or "xml", or "_2010".

I recommend using a distinctive extension, otherwise you will need to delve into the complexities of content types to allow multiple variants of *.xml content.

Ed and Ed,

Thanks for the help so far but I am afraid I am still not out of the woods on this. I added the following to my aforementioned setup as suggested. I am also using the suggested extension. It now looks like this:

ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(EcorePackage.eNS_URI, EcorePackage.eINSTANCE);
resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xml", new XMLResourceFactoryImpl());

resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("_2010", new _2010FactoryImpl());
resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(_2010Package.eNS_URI, _2010Package.eINSTANCE);

java.net.URI uri = new File(aValidFileName.xml).toURI();
Resource resource = resourceSet.getResource(URI.createURI(uri.toString()), true);

I am now getting an error.

Error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.ieee.standards.ieee1516._2010.impl._2010FactoryImpl cannot be cast to org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.Resource$Factory
