Hi,

I want to do a m2m transformation, from an Object to a Relationnal model.
I'm trying to do it with Xtend, but I'm having trouble with the workflow.

I found that topic today
http://www.openarchitectureware.org/forum/viewtopic.php?show topic=15036
and decided to use it as inspiration.

so my .ext file is quite basic for now

import metamodel;
import relationnel;
extension metamodel::Extensions reexport;

create relationnel::Table transform (metamodel::Class c) :
	this.setName(c.name);

And my workflow

Quote:

When running the workflow, I get two things I don't understand (and an ERROR)

31 mars 2010 14:37:12 org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup registerPackage
INFO: Adding dynamic EPackage 'http://www.example.org/metamodel' from 'platform:/resource/genCPP/src/metamodel/metamodel.ecore'

INFO: Adding dynamic EPackage 'http://relationnel/1.0' from 'platform:/resource/genCPP/src/metamodel/relationnel.ecore'

GRAVE: [ERROR]: Error parsing property 'invoke': Could not extract name of the extension file.(Element: -UNKNOWN-; Reported by: -UNKNOWN-)
31 mars 2010 14:37:12 org.eclipse.emf.mwe.core.WorkflowRunner prepare
GRAVE: Workflow interrupted because of configuration errors.

What does the "Adding dynamix EPackage" mean ?
I guess my error means that I'm not pointing to the right file trying to invoke, but I don't know what to write (the workflow and the .ext file are in the same directory).

One day I shall master M2T, but that day has yet to come...

Hello Maxime,

the error should be gone if you use the following syntax for invoke:

// assuming .ext file is located in "src/subFolder/Test.ext" and "src" is configured as source folder
<invoke value="subFolder::Test::transform(model)"/>
// or maybe also
<invoke value="Test::transform(model)"/>

"adding dynamic package" means that the ecore metamodels that are loaded will be available in other workflow components.
This is for instance required if you try to create instances of metaclasses within your invoked Xtend function.

Kind regards
Ludwig
