[xpand] ignores applied stereotypes [message #500256]

i started updgrading from oaw4.2 to the current eclipse.xpand based on.

I am using an uml2 3.0.0 based model.

unfortunately, all my template do not work correctly since the do not properly recognize applied stereotypes. Either

«DEFINE root FOR MyProfile::MyStereotype»
or
(MyProfile::MyStereotype).isInstance(elem)

wont work as expected.

Reading in the model with its applied profiles / stereotypes did not throw any exceptions.

the workflow looks like

<workflow>

<bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup">
<platformUri value="../ground-core-model/" />
<registerGeneratedEPackage value="org.eclipse.uml2.uml.UMLPackage"/>
<registerEcoreFile value="../ground-core-model/Profiles/${projectProfileFile}"/ >
</bean>

<component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.Reader">
<uri value="${modelFile}" />
<modelSlot value="${modelSlot}" />
</component>

<component id="generator" class="org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator" srcPath="${baseDir}">
<metaModel idRef="uml2"/>

<metaModel id="entityProfile" class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.uml2.profile.ProfileMetaModel ">
<profile value="../ground-core-model/Profiles/${entityProfileFile}"/ >
</metaModel>

<expand value="templates::Root::Root FOR ${modelSlot}"/>

<outlet path="${srcGenPath}">
<postprocessor class="org.eclipse.xpand2.output.JavaBeautifier" configFile="oaw/formatter.xml" />

</outlet>

</component>
</workflow>

does someone have a little hint for me?

Thanks
Andre

Hi Andre!

Use only the ProfileMetaModel, not the UML2 metamodel. The UML2 metamodel is implicitly used by the ProfileMetaModel now.

Thanks for the answers.

I retested my workflow again and recognized that the handling of stereotype seems to be different to oaw4. A short example template:

«DEFINE Root FOR MyProfile::MyStereotype»
[EXPAND1 Statements here]
«ENDDEFINE»

«DEFINE Root FOR uml::Component»
«IF !(MyProfile::MyStereotype::Project).isInstance(this)»
[EXPAND2 Statements here]
«ENDIF»
[EXPAND3 Statements here]
«ENDDEFINE»

running this template:
EXPAND2 and EXPAND3 become evaluated.

Is it right that the previous statement «DEFINE Root FOR MyProfile::MyStereotype»
as not valid anymore?
I would rather prefer the first on since it is more descriptive instead of some IF switches.

Greetings

I am sorry, there was a typing error. There was an ! before the IF evaluation.
So in general my basic problem is still existent.

My eclipse UML Model Editor (the tree) shows all the applied stereotypes, but xpand seems to not recognize them

Does this have something to do with the uml2 2.0.0 to uml2 3.0.0 switch.

If I model and define a profile, the source attribute of eAnnotations defining the profile has a reference to "http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.0.0/UML"
this also applies to the eAnnotations of the element inside the profile definition

After manually modify them to "http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML"
it is not possible to apply this profile anymore.

Does someone have a running workflow for uml2 3.0.0 based models with applied profiles? Please paste it here so that i can look if i missed something to configure

Hello,

does the not-resolving of profile stereotypes have something to do with my standalone environment.

Do platform:/resource statements work when not running within a plugin?

I do start my workflows with an ant task which references the required eclipse jar libraries directly. There is no OSGi involved.

Using oaw4.2 this works fine... but after the switch to eclipse.xpand
i do have these profile/stereotype problems

Now i switched back to my previous oaw4.2 environment to be able to work further.. But i realy would to upgrade to the latest eclipse integrated version.

greetings,
andre

Hello again,

to avoid switching back to oaw4.2, I upload a simple scenario of an uml model (containing only one class) and a profile (only one stereotype).
There is a simple workflow that triggers a simple xpt template with only 3 rules.

I uploaded this simple standalone scenario to free file hoster.
Since working standalone, all required libs are packaged inside the zipped eclipse project. Also a generate.xml Ant script can be found for a quick run.
All the required libs are from the same eclipse version (there should be no internal conflicts)

The link is:

http://www.filedropper.com/xpandsimple

Please, can some working with xpand look over this simple example and look why this stereotype is ignored?

thanks..

greetings, andre

hello Andre,

modifiying the workflow like this sould do the trick in your sample

<component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.Reader">
			<uri value="platform:/resource/OAWtest/model/Model.uml" />
			<modelSlot value="model" />
	</component>

for more information have a look at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=284464 too.
