empty Resource? [message #478168] Thu, 06 August 2009 08:45 Go to next message

I'm trying to rogrammatically execute a QVT transformation. Therefore I
took the example code from the wiki [1]. My method looks like this:

private void executeTransformation(URI transformationURI, URI
selectedModel){
TransformationExecutor executor = new
TransformationExecutor(transformationURI);
Resource inResource = new ResourceImpl(selectedModel);
EList<EObject> inObjects = inResource.getContents();
ModelExtent input = new BasicModelExtent(inObjects);
ExecutionContextImpl context = new ExecutionContextImpl();
context.setConfigProperty("keepModeling", true);
ExecutionDiagnostic result = executor.execute(context, input);
}

The problem is that inResource has no contents. That's why inObjects is
an empty Elist and the transformation does nothing. No exceptions is
thrown - it just happens nothing. I don't know why the contents is
empty. Maybe the URI is generated wrong. I contributed a command to the
context menu of the EMF generated editor. In the command handler I
retrieve the active model in this way:

@Override
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
String transFile = event.getParameter(Activator.TRANSFORMATION_PARAM_ID);
IEditorPart editor = HandlerUtil.getActiveEditor(event);
if(editor.getEditorInput() instanceof FileEditorInput){
URI emfURI = convertIFiletoEmfURI(((FileEditorInput)
editor.getEditorInput()).getFile());
executeTransformation(getTransformation(transFile), emfURI);
}
return null;
}

The transFile is a qvto file contained in the plugin. The generation of
the URI is:

private static URI convertIFiletoEmfURI(IFile file) {
if(file == null){
return null;
}
URI emfURI =
URI.createPlatformResourceURI(file.getFullPath().toString(), true);
return emfURI;
}

I can't see why the contents is empty - but maybe anyone of you knows it?

I won't be able to say much about QVT itself, but this is not a good way
to load a resource. Create a resource set and use getResource(<uri>,
true) for that purpose.

ResourceImpl isn't even capable of loading anything. You'll find
isLoaded is false and that calling load fails.

You didn't load it, nor use an appropriate resource implementation, nor
is simply newing a resource implementation the ideal way.

If you generate the *.tests project for some model, you'll see and
XyzExample.java that better illustrates what's needed.

Thanks a lot for this hint. It works.
