Hi,

Is it possible to generate ecore model that contains only "wrapper" classes from annotated java interfaces?

E.g.,

public interface PurchaseOrder {
...
}



should result in the folowing ecore class

<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="PurchaseOrder" instanceClassName="mypackage.xyz.PurchaseOrder" abstract="true" interface="true"/>

I can specify

@model interface="true" abstract="true"

but is it also possible to specify the instanceClassName ?

Regards,
Stanislav

You don't want the interface to be generated by the model though.

Once it's generated, that information is included in the generated model
but I gather you don't want that, though not sure why.

You'll have to include annotations directly in the XyzPackage to define
just wrapper EClasses:

* @model instanceClass="mypackage.xyz.PurchaseOrder"

Hi Ed and thanks for your quick response.

I tried your suggestion but it did not work for me. Apparently I'm doing something wrong. Let me explain what I did.

1. I have a bunch of interfaces that I would like to wrap in EMF classes, e.g.,

package mypackage;
public interface Person {}


package mypackage;
public interface Man extends Person {}


2. I followed your suggestion, created a class MyPackage.java and put some annotations in it

package mypackage;
/**
* @model kind="package"
* @model instanceClass="mypackage.Person"
* @model instanceClass="mypackage.Man
*/
public class InterfacesPackage {}


3. I created a genmodel and imported the annotated java classes.

4. What I got was an ecore model that only contains one packege mypackage.

What is the right way to annotate MyPackage? In addition, do I need to annotate the interfaces as well, e.g.


package mypackage;
/**
* @model interface="true" abstract="true"
*/
public interface Person {}



Your help is very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Stanislav

Ok, I think I figured it out.

package mypackage;

/**
* @model kind="package"
*/
public interface MyPackagePackage {

/**
* @model instanceClass="mypackage.Person"
*/
public EClass getPerson();

/**
* @model instanceClass="mypackage.Man" superTypes="mypackage.Person"
*/
public EClass getMan();
}


Now I get an ecore model with wrapper EMF classes. Unfortunately, it seems that the Java importer does not use the annotation superTypes="mypackage.Person". That is, the attribute of ESuper Types of the class Man is not set to Person. Is this a bug of a feature ?

Cheers,
Stanislav

Stanislav,

That annotation isn't supported, but would be nice thing to have. You
might want to open an enhancement request.

Cheers,
Ed
