Serialization problem concerning Maps [message #552429] Thu, 12 August 2010 08:27 Go to next message

I want to serialize my model to XMI. In my model there are maps which I want to serialize, too. I want to save the key and the value of each map entry. How can I do this?

I use the resource set. I do it like that:

ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xmi", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl());
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(URI.createFileURI("some file name"));
resource.getContents().add(form);
resource.save(null);


So far no problem but my maps store only the keys.

One map is defined as Java interface like this:

/**
 * @model
 */
public interface Variables extends EObject {

 /**
  * @return
  * @model mapType="HashMap" keyType="String" valueType="VartabEntry" containment="true"
     */
 EMap<String, VartabEntry> getVartabEntriesMap();


And VartabEntry is defined like this:

/**
 * @model
 */
public interface VartabEntry extends EObject  {
    
    /**
     * @return
     * @model
     */
    String getEnglishName();

   /**
     * @return
     * @model
     */
    String getName();

   ... and more attributes.


And I got following XMI part in my file:

  <variables>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:grust"/>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:gruppe"/>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:grbez"/>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:dnr"/>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:dbez"/>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:ozeilen"/>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:sn"/>

...
  </variables>



How can I tell EMF to store also the VartabEntry instances in the XMI file?

With regards,
Udo

Did you look at the FAQ how to do this?

As I understand the FAQ I did the right thing with my "@model" annotations.
EMF generated the class EStringToVartabEntryMapEntryImpl.

Do I have to add some methods to that generated class?

My ecore model looks like this (for the generated class):

  <eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="EStringToVartabEntryMapEntry" instanceClassName="java.util.Map$Entry">
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute" name="key" eType="ecore:EDataType platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/model/Ecore.ecore#//EString"/>
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="value" eType="#//VartabEntry"/>
  </eClassifiers>


Is this correct?

I do not understand, why I should not define an interface for my "value" type. What should I implement to serialize that correctly. I saw that EAnnotation.getDetails tries to get the serialized form of my value type but where do I specify it?

The FAQ looked like this.

/**
* @model keyType="java.lang.String" valueType="java.lang.String"
*/
Map<String, String> getScoScoMap();


And EAnnotation.details looks like this:

/**
* @model
mapType="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EStringToStringMapEntry<org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EString,
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EString>"
*/
EMap<String, String> getDetails();

Things to note are fully qualified names. In fact, note that in
EAnnotation, the fully qualified names are Ecore names, not Java names.
There's also no use of containment='true'.
>> EMF generated the class EStringToVartabEntryMapEntryImpl.
Yes, but there is no EStringToVartabMapEntry interface. I.e., there's
nothing like your VartabEntry.

You don't want the value to be of type VartabEntry though do you? I
assume you want it to be string like in the FAQ example and in EAnnotation.

Hi Ed,

I think you got me wrong.

I do want to have a map which has keys of type String and values of type VartabEntry. The only thing which I do not understand is how do I tell the generated class EStringToVartabEntryMapEntryImpl to serialize its keys AND values. It serializes only its keys, which are serialized correctly.

Or can I not use a map like I want to use?

Regards,
Udo

I see nothing that should prevent that feature from being serialized.
You're sure it's actually populated with non-null values?

The Change model has maps with references so it should work...

* @model
mapType="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.change.EObjectToChangesMapEntry <org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject,
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.change.FeatureChange>"
* @generated
*/
EMap<EObject, EList<FeatureChange>> getObjectChanges();

Check during serialization if eIsSet is being called for the value
feature of the map entry and if it's returning true. It should be
serialized in that case.

Hi Ed,

Quote:

serialized in that case.



I checked the method eIsSet of my EStringToVartabEntryMapEntryImpl and it returns true. I did this by overwriting the method eIsSet in that class and checking the name of the feature and value of the super.eIsSet() method. The value feature returns true.

My output still looks like this:

 <variables>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:grust"/>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:gruppe"/>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:grbez"/>
    <vartabEntriesMap key="0:dnr"/>

...


Still only keys.

Do you have any ideas what I could do wrong?

Udo,

The debugger is doing to answer your questions faster than me. Monitor
what happens in XMLSaveImpl.saveFeatures for your map entry instances.
Pay particular attention to the processing of the features where there
is a guard like this

if (kind != TRANSIENT && shouldSaveFeature(o, f))

Hi Ed,

I found a solution but I don't know how to do it with annotations in my
interfaces.

If I open the *.ecore file and go to the value feature of the map and
change the containment from (default) "false" to "true" then the value
which is my from EMF generated object is also saved.

How can I tell the EMF generator with Java annotations that the value of
my map needs the containment attribute set to "true"?

Here is the snippet from my ecore file:

<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="VartabEntryMap"
instanceClassName="java.util.Map$Entry">
<eStructuralFeatures
xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute"
name="key"
eType="ecore:EDataType
http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EString"/>
<eStructuralFeatures
xsi:type="ecore:EReference"
name="value"
eType="#//VartabEntry"
containment="true"/>
</eClassifiers>

The second last line is the important one. How to do that in Java
annotations?

Udo

You can always generate the code to see what @model annotations are
generated. Delete the method and let it me regenerated if necessary.

I'm not sure what you did that made if false. There is a FAQ about this.
