Hi:

I am using Eclipse 3.2.2, EMF 2.2, and GMF 1.0.3.

I have this out file like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmachine initial-state="Idle" model-name="Bank_Cashier">
<state name="Idle">
<inTransitions>T3</inTransitions>
<outTransitions>T1</outTransitions>
<outTransitions>T4</outTransitions>
</state>
<state name="serving">
<inTransitions>T1</inTransitions>
<outTransitions>T2</outTransitions>
</state>
<state name="answering">
<inTransitions>T2</inTransitions>
<inTransitions>T4</inTransitions>
<outTransitions>T3</outTransitions>
</state>
<transition fromState="Idle" functionName="fun1" toState="serving"
TransitionID="T1"/>
<transition fromState="serving" functionName="fun2" toState="answering"
TransitionID="T2"/>
<transition fromState="answering" functionName="fun3" toState="Idle"
TransitionID="T3"/>
<transition fromState="Idle" functionName="fun4" toState="answering"
TransitionID="T4"/>
</xmachine>


I used this xml schema to define the above part:
for the State

<xsd:complexType name="state">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="inTransitions" type="xsd:IDREF"
maxOccurs="unbounded" ecore:reference="transition"
ecore:opposite="toState"/>
<xsd:element name="outTransitions" type="xsd:IDREF"
maxOccurs="unbounded" ecore:reference="transition"
ecore:opposite="fromState"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:ID"/>
</xsd:complexType>

and for the transition:

<xsd:complexType name="transition">
<xsd:attribute name="TransitionID" type="xsd:ID" use="required"/>
<xsd:attribute name="fromState" type="xsd:IDREF" ecore:reference="state"
ecore:opposite="outTransitions"/>
<xsd:attribute name="functionName" type="allowed-string"/>
<xsd:attribute name="toState" type="xsd:IDREF" ecore:reference="state"
ecore:opposite="inTransitions"/>
</xsd:complexType>

I want to use the latest JET2 to generate Jave code and test cases from
the output file, however, the version compatible with Eclispe 3.2.2 and
EMF 2.2 has a bug that can not deal with elements contents and attrbutes
togather in same file. these bugs have been fixed in the latest JET2
build. however, this build requires Eclipse 3.3 and EMF 2.3.

Therefore, to get arround this bug, I want to modify the model output file
by adding the attribute (transitionID) to inTransitions/outTransitions as
following:

<state name="Idle">
<inTransitions transitionID="T3"/>
<outTransitions transitionID="T1"/>
<ouTransitions transitionID="T4"/>
</state>

and so on for each state.

I do not want to define the inTransitions/ouTransitions as an attribute
for the State, because this will produce the following:

<state name="Idle" inTransitions="T3" outTransitions="T1 T4">

the value of outTransitions="T1 T4" will be returned by JET2 as single
string T1 T4. which I do not want.

I tried to do the followig:

<xsd:complexType name="state">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="inTransition" type="inTransition"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xsd:element name="outTransition" type="outTransition"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:ID"/>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="inTransition">
<xsd:attribute name="transitionID" type="xsd:IDREF"
ecore:reference="transition" ecore:opposite="toState"/>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="outTransition">
<xsd:attribute name="transitionID" type="xsd:IDREF"
ecore:reference="transition" ecore:opposite="fromState"/>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="transition">
<xsd:attribute name="transitionID" type="xsd:ID" use="required"/>
<xsd:attribute name="fromState" type="xsd:IDREF"
ecore:reference="outTransition" ecore:opposite="transitionID"/>
<xsd:attribute name="functionName" type="allowed-string"/>
<xsd:attribute name="toState" type="xsd:IDREF"
ecore:reference="inTransition" ecore:opposite="transitionID"/>
</xsd:complexType>

But that did not work.

Is it possible to do what I am looking for.

Thank you very much in advance

Tarek

Tarek,

An opposite feature must directly be a feature on the reference's type.
So if a class X has a feature y of type Y and that feature is to have an
opposite, it must be a feature x of type X in Y. So you have to define
them as you had them in the original version. But you could mark the
reference feature as ecore:transient and ecore:derived so it isn't saved
and so that it's derived from the string valued IDREF feature of the new
child type you introduced.
