Hello,

I am beating my head on some issue involving an Xtext DSL in which I
make references to EClass elements defined in some imported ecore files.

To do so I simply use the import mechanism as examplified below :

grammar test.dummyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate mydummyDsl "http://www.irisa.fr/dummyDsl"

import 'http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore' as ecore

Toplevel :
(imports+=Import ';')*
('from' src+=[ecore::EClass] 'to' dst+= [ecore::EClass] ';')+
;

Import :
'import' importURI=STRING;


If I assume that ClassA and ClassB are Eclass objects defined in resp.
source.ecore ans des.ecore file, I could write a example like this.

import "platform:/resource/example/source.ecore";
import "platform:/resource/example/dest.ecore";

from A to B;


So far so good, the DSL and Editor work perflecly well, however, I can't
make the code generator work as expected. Whenever I run the MWE worflow
it complains that

2024 [main] ERROR eclipse.emf.mwe.core.WorkflowRunner - [ERROR]:
file:/workspace/test.generator/bin/model/dummy.mydsl(5): Couldn't
resolve reference to EClass ClassA(Element: -UNKNOWN-; Reported by:
MweReader: loading file from classpath:/model/dummy.mydsl)

2024 [main] ERROR eclipse.emf.mwe.core.WorkflowRunner - [ERROR]:
file:/workspace/test.generator/bin/model/dummy.mydsl(5): Couldn't
resolve reference to EClass ClassB(Element: -UNKNOWN-; Reported by:
MweReader: loading file from classpath:/model/dummy.mydsl)

....


I tried to look around for some solution to make MWEReader 'know' about
my two ecore files, by adding a <registerEcoreFile ..> tag, as shown below

<workflow>
<property name="modelFile" value="classpath:/model/dummy.mydsl"/>
<property name="targetDir" value="src-gen"/>

<bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup">
<platformUri value=".."/>
<registerEcoreFile
value="/home/sderrien/workspace//example/source.ecore" />
<registerEcoreFile
value="/home/sderrien/workspace//example/dest.ecore" />
</bean>

...

</workflow>


But it didn't solve the issue, even though there is now a message in the
log stating that :

756 [main] INFO lipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup - Adding dynamic
EPackage 'http://dummy.source' from
'/home/sderrien/workspace//example/source.ecore'
756 [main] INFO lipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup - Adding dynamic
EPackage 'http://dummy.dst' from
'/home/sderrien/workspace//example/dest.ecore'

Any help would *really* be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Steven

Hi Steven,

did you try to use classpath uri for the imported source.ecore and
dest.ecore? These should be independent from the actual working directory.

Hope that helps,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Thank for the quick reply,

It seems that it is not a path issue since the log file indicate that
the correponding Epackages are found during StandAloneSetup component
execution :

756 [main] INFO lipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup - Adding dynamic
EPackage 'http://dummy.source' from
'/home/sderrien/workspace//example/source.ecore'

Thanks,

Steven

Hi Steven,

I guess you are mixing things up. Why do you need to import the ecore
files in your grammar file _and_ in your workflow. If the import
mechanism works fine, there should be no need to import them in your
workflow explicitly.
The consequence might by, that you end up with to instances of the same
EPackage which may lead to different EClasses for the same name.
Did you try to omit the import in the workflow file?

Regards,
Sebastian

Maybe my example was not very clear ...

I don't import the ecore models in my DSL grammar, I import them in my
DSL instances (I want a DSL to manipulate meta-models).

The import mecanism works fine since I can import ecore files in the
generated editor, and I can use content assist to cross-link to Eclass
objects defined in these imported ecore files.

As mentioned in the first mail, the problem arise when I want to use the
code generation MWE flow.

Xpand complains that it cannot find the EClasses that I cross link from
my DSL instance.

Hope my explanations are not too messy :/

Hi Steven,

you don't need to tell Xpand about the imported ecore files.
Xpand only needs to know about the types of any model elements.
As you're working on ecore models you have to register ecore.

You could either post the rest of your workflow file so we can help
identifying the problem or just switch over to the JavaBeans-mode, which
means that Xpand will work against Java types and not EClasses.
The EMF-mode is only needed (and recommended) if you need to work
against dynamic EMF. But in your case you have generated Java classes
for all your model elements (which is your DSL's ecore model and ecore
itself - not the imported ecore files!).

To do so register the corresponding metaModel in the workflow like in
the following :

<component class="....Generator"/>
<metaModel
class=" org.eclipse.internal.xtend.type.impl.java.JavaBeansMetaModel "/>

....
</component>

Note that you'll have to switch from the simple namespaces to the java
ones :

<<IMPORT mypack>>

becomes

<<IMPORT org::my::javapackage>>

But that's basically all you'll have to do.

Cheers,
Sven

against dynamic EMF. But in your case you have generated Java classes
for all your model elements (which is your DSL's ecore model and ecore
itself - not the imported ecore files!).

To do so register the corresponding metaModel in the workflow like in
the following :

<component class="....Generator"/>
<metaModel
class=" org.eclipse.internal.xtend.type.impl.java.JavaBeansMetaModel "/>

....
</component>

Note that you'll have to switch from the simple namespaces to the java
ones :

<<IMPORT mypack>>

becomes

<<IMPORT org::my::javapackage>>

But that's basically all you'll have to do.

Hi Steven,

you don't need to tell Xpand about the imported ecore files.
Xpand only needs to know about the types of any model elements.
As you're working on ecore models you have to register ecore.

You could either post the rest of your workflow file so we can help
identifying the problem or just switch over to the JavaBeans-mode, which
means that Xpand will work against Java types and not EClasses.
The EMF-mode is only needed (and recommended) if you need to work
against dynamic EMF. But in your case you have generated Java classes
for all your model elements (which is your DSL's ecore model and ecore

Hi Steven,

you don't need to tell Xpand about the imported ecore files.
Xpand only needs to know about the types of any model elements.
As you're working on ecore models you have to register ecore.

You could either post the rest of your workflow file so we can help
identifying the problem or just switch over to the JavaBeans-mode, which
means that Xpand will work against Java types and not EClasses.
The EMF-mode is only needed (and recommended) if you need to work
against dynamic EMF. But in your case you have generated Java classes
for all your model elements (which is your DSL's ecore model and ecore
itself - not the imported ecore files!).

To do so register the corresponding metaModel in the workflow like in
the following :

<component class="....Generator"/>
<metaModel
class=" org.eclipse.internal.xtend.type.impl.java.JavaBeansMetaModel "/>

....
</component>

Note that you'll have to switch from the simple namespaces to the java
ones :

<<IMPORT mypack>>

becomes

<<IMPORT org::my::javapackage>>

But that's basically all you'll have to do.

Cheers,
Sven

Hi Steven,

you don't need to tell Xpand about the imported ecore files.
Xpand only needs to know about the types of any model elements.
As you're working on ecore models you have to register ecore.

You could either post the rest of your workflow file so we can help
identifying the problem or just switch over to the JavaBeans-mode, which
means that Xpand will work against Java types and not EClasses.
The EMF-mode is only needed (and recommended) if you need to work
against dynamic EMF. But in your case you have generated Java classes
for all your model elements (which is your DSL's ecore model and ecore
itself - not the imported ecore files!).

To do so register the corresponding metaModel in the workflow like in
the following :

<component class="....Generator"/>
<metaModel
class=" org.eclipse.internal.xtend.type.impl.java.JavaBeansMetaModel "/>

....
</component>

Note that you'll have to switch from the simple namespaces to the java
ones :

<<IMPORT mypack>>

becomes

<<IMPORT org::my::javapackage>>

But that's basically all you'll have to do.

Cheers,
Sven

You could either post the rest of your workflow file so we can help
identifying the problem or just switch over to the JavaBeans-mode, which
means that Xpand will work against Java types and not EClasses.
The EMF-mode is only needed (and recommended) if you need to work
against dynamic EMF. But in your case you have generated Java classes
for all your model elements (which is your DSL's ecore model and ecore
itself - not the imported ecore files!).

To do so register the corresponding metaModel in the workflow like in
the following :

<component class="....Generator"/>
<metaModel
class=" org.eclipse.internal.xtend.type.impl.java.JavaBeansMetaModel "/>

....
</component>

Note that you'll have to switch from the simple namespaces to the java
ones :

<<IMPORT mypack>>

becomes

<<IMPORT org::my::javapackage>>

But that's basically all you'll have to do.

Sven

Hi Steven,

you don't need to tell Xpand about the imported ecore files.
Xpand only needs to know about the types of any model elements.
As you're working on ecore models you have to register ecore.

You could either post the rest of your workflow file so we can help
identifying the problem or just switch over to the JavaBeans-mode, which
means that Xpand will work against Java types and not EClasses.
The EMF-mode is only needed (and recommended) if you need to work
against dynamic EMF. But in your case you have generated Java classes
for all your model elements (which is your DSL's ecore model and ecore
itself - not the imported ecore files!).

To do so register the corresponding metaModel in the workflow like in
the following :

<component class="....Generator"/>
<metaModel
class=" org.eclipse.internal.xtend.type.impl.java.JavaBeansMetaModel "/>

....
</component>

Note that you'll have to switch from the simple namespaces to the java
ones :

<<IMPORT mypack>>

becomes

<<IMPORT org::my::javapackage>>

But that's basically all you'll have to do.

Cheers,
Sven

Hi Steven,

you don't need to tell Xpand about the imported ecore files.
Xpand only needs to know about the types of any model elements.
As you're working on ecore models you have to register ecore.

You could either post the rest of your workflow file so we can help
identifying the problem or just switch over to the JavaBeans-mode, which
means that Xpand will work against Java types and not EClasses.
The EMF-mode is only needed (and recommended) if you need to work
against dynamic EMF. But in your case you have generated Java classes
for all your model elements (which is your DSL's ecore model and ecore
itself - not the imported ecore files!).

To do so register the corresponding metaModel in the workflow like in
the following :

<component class="....Generator"/>
<metaModel
class=" org.eclipse.internal.xtend.type.impl.java.JavaBeansMetaModel "/>

....
</component>

Note that you'll have to switch from the simple namespaces to the java
ones :

<<IMPORT mypack>>

becomes

<<IMPORT org::my::javapackage>>

But that's basically all you'll have to do.

Cheers,
Sven

Hi Sven and Sebastian,

Thank you very much for your support, I really appreciate It.

After reading twice your posts, I am still not sure wether we understand
each other. I packaged a complete example that reproduce the problem I
am facing. It it here

http://www.irisa.fr/cosi/HOMEPAGE/Derrien/example_xtext.zip

Basically I want to write a DSL that is used to retarget code written
for a meta-model to anotherone by defining a mapping between Eclass
objects of these two meta-models.

Here is a summary the key elements :

**** The Xtext DSL grammar : mydsl.xtext *******

grammar org.xtext.example.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/MyDsl"

import 'http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore' as ecore

TopLevel :
'mapping' name=ID '{'
(imports+=Import ';')*
(mappings+=Mapping)+
'}';

Mapping:
'from' src=[ecore::EClass] 'to' dst=[ecore::EClass] ';';
Import :
'import' importURI=STRING;


**** An (correct) test file for this new DSL : model.mydsl ******

mapping test {
import
" platform:/resource//org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator/src/mo del/source.ecore ";
import
" platform:/resource//org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator/src/mo del/target.ecore ";

from ASrcClass to BDstClass;
from BSrcClass to ADstClass;
}

**** EMFatic code for the metal models used in the example ****

@namespace(uri="http://source", prefix="source")
package source;

class ASrcClass {
attr String name ;
}

class BSrcClass {
attr String name ;
attr int value;
}


@namespace(uri="http://target", prefix="target")
package target;

class ADstClass {
attr String name ;
}

class BDstClass {
attr String name ;
attr int value;
}


**** An Xpand Template using the model build from model.mydsl ****


<<IMPORT myDsl>>;

<<EXTENSION templates::Extensions>>

<<DEFINE main FOR TopLevel->>
<<FILE "output.txt"->>

<<FOREACH this.mappings AS mapping>>
source is <<mapping.src.name>> .
destination is <<mapping.dst.name>> .
<<ENDFOREACH>>

<<ENDFILE->>
<<ENDDEFINE>>


**** The generator workflow ****

<workflow>
<property name="modelFile" value="classpath:/model/MyModel.mydsl"/>
<property name="targetDir" value="src-gen"/>

<bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup" platformUri=".."/>

<component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.DirectoryCleaner"
directory="${targetDir}"/>

<component class="org.eclipse.xtext.MweReader" uri="${modelFile}">
<register class="org.xtext.example.MyDslStandaloneSetup"/>
</component>

<component class="org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator">
<metaModel class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel "/>
<fileEncoding value="UTF-8"/>
<expand value="templates::Template::main FOR model"/>
<genPath value="${targetDir}"/>
</component>
</workflow>

Mmmhh looks ok.
There's a superfluos '/' in the platform:/resource URI.
I can imagine that the URI can not be resolved, because the underlying
URI map contains the entries with only one '/'.
I.e. try:

mapping test {
import
" platform:/resource/org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator/src/mod el/source.ecore ";


import
" platform:/resource/org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator/src/mod el/target.ecore ";


from ASrcClass to BDstClass;
from BSrcClass to ADstClass;
}

Hi,

It works !

I didn't expected the problem to be a path issue, since the xtext
generated editor was happy with the import path I gave it.

Again, thanks you a lot for you help (also and for your great software)

Hi Steven,

would it be possible for you to use static EMF for your referenced EMF models? If yes, here is a blog where UML is used as referenced metamodel. Your case would be similar then:
http://chilifreak.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/xtext-using-uml-m odels/

Kind regards,
~Karsten
