how to load an XML-Instance into Ecore and access its attribute values [message #634216] Wed, 20 October 2010 19:34 Go to next message

Hi,

I am new to EMF/Ecore (and to Eclipse too) and I have small problem.

I convert a XML-Schema to Ecore using this Code:
XSDEcoreBuilder xsdEcoreBuilder = new XSDEcoreBuilder();
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
final ExtendedMetaData extendedMetaData = new BasicExtendedMetaData(resourceSet.getPackageRegistry());
resourceSet.getLoadOptions().put(XMLResource.OPTION_EXTENDED_META_DATA, extendedMetaData);
resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xml", new XMLResourceFactoryImpl());
Collection<?> eCorePackages = xsdEcoreBuilder.generate(URI.createFileURI(path_to_xsd_file));
		
for (Iterator<?> iter = eCorePackages.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
	EPackage element = (EPackage) iter.next();
	resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(element.getNsURI(), element);	
	System.out.println(element.getNsURI());
}

As far as I see, this works beside the fact, that I have a EClass "DocumentRoot" in the Ecore-Model, which isn't modeled in my XML-Schema.

Furthermore I want to load a XML-Instance-File related to this XSD-File. I am trying it with this code:
HashMap<String, Boolean> options = new HashMap<String, Boolean>();
options.put(XMLResource.OPTION_EXTENDED_META_DATA, Boolean.TRUE);
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(URI.createFileURI(path_to_xml_file));
resource.load(options);


Now my problem is the following. I want to access the XML-Data in the previously loaded Model and extract the values of the attributes for each EClass. Is there an easy way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Ben.

Ben,

It's best to use the eclipse.tools.emf newsgroup/forum for questions
about Ecore core.

Hopefully this path is absolute...

You've read
http://www.theserverside.com/news/1364302/Binding-XML-to-Jav a to
understand that?

I'd suggest reading the above article. I think it explains everything
you need to know.
