Hello,
I could need some basic hints for translating a xml-model to a bpel-mode=
l.
Both metamodels are from am3-zoo. The input-model is already transformed=

to ecore format.
input-model:
---------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"ISO-8859-1"?>
<Root xmi:version=3D"2.0" xmlns:xmi=3D"http://www.omg.org/XMI" =
xmlns:xsi=3D"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns=3D"XML" =
startLine=3D"9" startColumn=3D"11" endLine=3D"73" endColumn=3D"11" name=3D=
"process">
<children xsi:type=3D"Attribute" name=3D"name" value=3D"ExampleProces=
s"/>
<children xsi:type=3D"Attribute" name=3D"targetNamespace" =
value=3D"de.unibamberg.wiai.seda"/>
<children xsi:type=3D"Attribute" name=3D"suppressJoinFailure" value=3D=
"yes"/>
<children xsi:type=3D"Attribute" name=3D"xmlns:tns" =
value=3D"de.unibamberg.wiai.seda"/>
<children xsi:type=3D"Attribute" name=3D"xmlns" =
value=3D"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/business-process/"/>
<children xsi:type=3D"Element" startLine=3D"18" startColumn=3D"19" =
endLine=3D"29" endColumn=3D"20" name=3D"partnerLinks">
<children xsi:type=3D"Element" startLine=3D"28" startColumn=3D"24" =
=
endLine=3D"28" endColumn=3D"24" name=3D"partnerLink">
<children xsi:type=3D"Attribute" name=3D"name" value=3D"client"/>=
<children xsi:type=3D"Attribute" name=3D"partnerLinkType" =
value=3D"tns:ExampleProcess"/>
<children xsi:type=3D"Attribute" name=3D"myRole" =
value=3D"ExampleProcessProvider"/>
<children xsi:type=3D"Attribute" name=3D"partnerRole" =
value=3D"ExampleProcessRequester"/>
</children>
</children>
.....
My first try to transform the model looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------------
module XML2BPEL; -- Module Template
create bpel : BPEL from xml : XML;
rule Root2Process {
from
r : XML!Root
to
p : BPEL!Process (
name <- r.children->select(a | a.name =3D 'name' and a.oclType() =3D=
=
XML!Attribute).first().value,
targetNamespace <- r.children->select(a | a.name =3D 'targetNamespac=
e' =
and a.oclType() =3D XML!Attribute).first().value
)
}
------------------------------------------------------------ -----
This works fine until now.
My questions concerning the transformation:
1a. Is this the correct way to do the transformation: selecting the =
attribute with the matching name and then retrieving its value?
1b. If the transformation is ok: Is there a possibility to write a =
helper-method that gets the two parameters "name" and "oclType" and =
returns the value...? What does it look like?
2. How do I proceed, e.g. how do I transform the partnerLink-Elements of=
=
the input-model to the bpel-model?
partnerLinks <- ....
I just need to get into the language. The beginning is quite difficult b=
ut =
I'm optimistic ;-)
So thanks for any help.
Best regards
Rainer Bernhard

Yes, it is the way to inject your sample into your real input model
(BPEL in your case).

You can found many samples of common helpers on XML in the Zoo of
Transformations.
For example, two helpers often used:
--@begin helper getChildren
--@comments Returns all the children which type and name are given.
helper context XML!Element
def : getChildren(type : OclType, name : String) : Sequence(XML!Node) =
self.children->select(e|e.oclIsKindOf(type))->select(e|e.name = name);
--@end helper getChildren
--@begin helper getAttrVal
--@comments Returns the value of the first attribute which name is given.
helper context XML!Element
def : getAttrVal(name : String) : String =
let children : Sequence(XML!Attribute) =
self.getChildren(XML!Attribute,name) in
if children->notEmpty()
then children->first().value
else OclUndefined -- You also can return '' as a default value.
endif;
--@end helper getAttrVal

You have to create a rule for each element of your BPEL metamodel, you
consider. For example (the name is only for example purpose, I don't
know BPEL metamodel):
rule Element2PartenerLink {
from
e : XML!Element (
e.name = 'partnerLinks'
)
to
b : BPEL!...
}
The elements will be created but not linked. For doing that, you can
reuse the helper getChildren in the rule Root2Process.
For example:
rule Root2Process {
from
r : XML!Root
to
p : BPEL!Process (
...,
partnerLinks <- r.getChildren(XML!Element,'partnerLinks')
)
}
The link will be done automatically.
