Dear All,

I have an XMI model as follow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="apathshouldbehere" xmlns:xsi="apathshouldbehere" xmlns:uml="apathshouldbehere">
	<uml:Model name="org.eclipse.mdt.bpmn2.editor">
		<packagedElement xsi:type="uml:Model" name="Model">
			<packagedElement xsi:type="uml:Package" name="org" visibility="public">
				<packagedElement xsi:type="uml:Class" name="Wizard" visibility="public">
				</packagedElement>
				<packagedElement xsi:type="uml:Class" name="Bpmn2ModelWizard" visibility="public">
					<generalization general="/0/Model/org/@packagedElement.0"/>
				</packagedElement>
			</packagedElement>
		</packagedElement>
	</uml:Model>
</xmi:XMI>

I want to convert the line:

<generalization general="/0/Model/org/@packagedElement.0"/>

to:

<generalization general="/0/@packagedElement.0/@packagedElement.0/@packagedElement.0"/>

How can I do this?

If I use the first format, I cannot load the model using XMIResourceImpl (I use my own customised UML metamodel). If I use the second format, the load works perfectly.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi

(Your message has only just appeared in the RSS feed).

It is not clear where your model comes from since it deviates from the normal Eclipse UML2 formatting.

If you want to do your own thing rather than use the Eclipse UML2 project, then you presumably have significant Ecore skills, so you should be able to fix the load failures of select the appropriate save options or use a custom XMIResourceImpl to avoid using IDs ...

Regards

Note that the first serialization looks like it's was produced by org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EModelElementImpl.eURIFragmentSegment(EStructuralFeature, EObject) and is interpreted by org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EModelElementImpl.eObjectForURIFragmentSegment(String). You could have a look at org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EcoreUtil.getRelativeURIFragmentPath(EObject, EObject, boolean) and at org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceImpl.getURIFragment(EObject) to see how fragment paths are generally computed by the objects themselves and at org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceImpl.getEObject(List<String>) to see how they are interpreted by the objects themselves. This is all to say that there is no general mechanism to convert from oneform of path to the other but rather the implementation classes can be (are) specialized to determine which form is produced and of course must have a corresponding specialization to ensure that such a fragment path segment can also be interpreted. So perhaps the better approach is to ensure that your specialized UML model can interpret the fragment paths the same way as the unspecialized UML2. Generally specializations should be able to interpret the default syntax, e.g., org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EModelElementImpl.eObjectForURIFragmentSegment(String) calls super when the first character in the path segment is an @.
