[Xpand]: FeatureNotFoundException in workflow when metamodel references Ecore metamodel [message #511721] Tue, 02 February 2010 11:26 Go to next message

Hi newsgroup,

i'm totally desperated!

My problem is, that when my metamodel is using some elements from the
ecore metamodel the workflow aborts with an
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.FeatureNotFoundException...

You may reproduce it by changing the Xpand Sample Project in this way:
1. In the metamodel.ecore file load ecore metamodel resource.
2. Remove the name attribute from Type and therefore add ENamedElement
as a esuper type.
3. Running the workflow now you will get the Exception.

I found some similar problems with referenced metamodels that gave some
hints regarding the workflow definition (none of them helpful):
- add metaModel tags to Generator component
- add referenced ecore file tag to StandaloneSetup bean
- ...?


Has anybody an idea how to solve this issue???
Perhaps someone can share a working workflow definition for my Sample
Project example?

Regards, Andreas

Please post your workflow and the way you reference ecore (ie is it
nsURI or resource uri).

Is model.xmi and instance of Ecore.ecore?
If you have another *.ecore file which Model.xmi is an instance of,
you'll have to register that.
Usually one refers to ecore files by it's nsURI (check the uri in your
*.ecore file). In that case you only need to register your ecore model

<registerEcoreFile
value="platform:/resource/my.project/model/my.ecore" />

This will register the epackage with the EPackage.Registry.

You don't need to specify the EPackages when configuring the metamodel,
since it uses the EPackage.Registry by default.

<metaModel id="mm"
class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel "/>

is sufficient.

I got it now! ;)
The problem was, that I subTyped ENamedElement in the metamodel.ecore,
which is not allowed, because ENamedElement is not an EClass...
When subTyping EClass instead of ENamedElement the workflow executes without errors.

But I think it's strange that the EcoreEditor as well as the DynamicInstanceEditor no
warnings or errors have been given!?!?
