hello

I have generated a static model along with its edit and editor plugin from
a XML Schema. Now i would like to use the Editor that is generated to load
the XML file.

It just bombs giving an exception.
1st Package URI Null --> this is because the XML doesnt hav a URI

If URI is mentioned
2nd ClassNotFoundException pointing the 1st tag in the XML.

But if i create a file using the New Wizard of EMF and then that file
works fine. But i am not interested in creating a new file, i want to load
an existing XML File.

If i write a main class and load this XML file as we normally write an XML
Resource Load in EMF it works. but just on the editor it doesnt work.

Can you please help me ... ?

regards
Malai

Malai,

This should just work unless we broke something. The generated
XyzResourceFactoryImpl should be properly set up to specify the
null-namespace package. How does the resource created by the wizard
look different from the one you are trying to load that fails?

Hello Ed

This is my XML called as addressbook.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<Address_Book
xmlns=" file:/D:/Malai's%20World/Workspaces/Sphinx%20Workspace/org.e clipse.emf.extras.ecore.xmi.dtd/model/dtd/addressbook.xsd ">
<OWNER> Joe Bloggs </OWNER>
<Address_Book_Entry
name="Alastair_Scotland">

<![CDATA[Alastair & Rhona Scotland,
23 The road to nowhere,
Timbucktoo]]>

</Address_Book_Entry>
</Address_Book>

This is how Wizard created File My.addressbook looks

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Address_Book>
<Address_Book_Entry name="Alastair_Scotland"><![CDATA[Alastair & Rhona
Scotland,23 The road to nowhere,Timbucktoo]]></Address_Book_Entry>
</Address_Book>


The file that i provide is a .xml and the other one is .addressbook
All i did was in the editor plugin.xml i said this file should also open
not only .addressbook but also .xml in the extension.

This is the exception that i get

org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl$1$Diagno sticWrappedException:

Malai,

Your model plugin's plugin.xml will register the generated
XyzResourceFactoryImpl to handle resources with "addressbook"
extension. But that won't kick in for "xml" extension. Only the wizard
created file below looks correct. The other one you show is not a good
instance of a null-namespace schema.

If you want the editor to work for any extension then I suggest you
specialize createModel to add this registration:

// Register the appropriate resource factory to handle all file
extentions.
//

editingDomain.getResourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().ge tExtensionToFactoryMap().put
(Resource.Factory.Registry.DEFAULT_EXTENSION,
new XyzResourceFactoryImpl());

Hello ED

I have this typical problem ...
My model is obtained using XSD as input. Now the XSD has changed a little
bit but all the old values are still valid ... but in the new XSD my
namespace has changed.

So the XML files corresponding to the new XSD have the new namespace but
the old ones still have the old namespace. So if i load the old one it has
a different name space .. so crashes ...

Is there any way to suppress the namespace consideration while loading?

regards
Malai

Malai,

An Ecore to Ecore mapping between the two could be used to solve a
problem like this. There have been quite a few previous questions about
that mapping support, so you could search for those. This particular
problem could be quite easily solved with a derived implementation
BasicExtendedMetaData that overrides getPackage, getLocalElement, and
getLocalAttribute to substitute the new namespace for the old namespace.
