This really is an mwe2 question. I think that's usually discussed in
the tmf newsgroup, so I've added that to the "to" list of the reply.

Hi all,

Thank you Ed for pointing me to the right forum.

I changed the EPackage registration to EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.put(_XSDNAME_Package.eNS_URI, _XSDNAME_Package.eINSTANCE) in the different readers. Unfortunatelly this does not seem to be the reason for my problem. I still get the same behavior and exception thrown of my workflow.

Best,
Helge

Looks like the EPackage used in the xml is not resolvable.
How does that xml model point to its EcorePackages (what kind of URI)?

Hi,

The XML models point to their metamodels using an http URI. See the following headers.

<entity-eca xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http:// ... /dtds/entity-eca.xsd">

<entitymodel xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http:// ... /dtds/entitymodel.xsd">

Whereas the ecore metamodels that are generated out of the XSD metamodels point to the file using a file URI. Like this:

<ecore:EPackage xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" name="EntityEca"
    nsURI="file:/ ... /framework/entity/dtd/entity-eca.xsd"
    nsPrefix="EntityEca">

That is, in the package Code the nsURI line looks like this:

String eNS_URI = "file:/ ... /framework/entity/dtd/entity-eca.xsd";

Thus, I see that the ecore and XML models use different URIs and it is true the exception always points to the header in the XML files. But I do not know what to do now. I cannot change the metamodel URIs in the XML models, since they need to be unmodified. But the file URI gets generated automatically to the ecore packages by the emf wizard. I now tried to change the URI in the ecore package from the file to http URI manually and regenerated the code. But I still get the same exception...

Best,
Helge

You need to make sure that the EPackages are registered in the
EPackage.Registry.

The StandalonSetup class is a ustility which helps you doing this from
within MWE2.
Workflow {
bean = org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup {
registerGeneratedEPackage = "my.generated.EPackageInterface"
}

...
}

Hi Sven,

I am quite sure that I registered the EPackages. The readers contain a line like:

	EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.put(EntityEcaPackage.eNS_URI, EntityEcaPackage.eINSTANCE);

And a similar line for the entitymodel package. However, I modified the workflow to register the packages in the standalonesetup. This still gives the same error message.
What makes me quite sure that the epackages are registered correctly, is that when runnning a workflow like this:

var out = "src-gen/output/eecas.xmi"
Workflow {	
	component = EntityEcaReader {
		modelSlot = "m2"
		uri = "... /entitydef/eecas.xml"
	}
	
	component = Writer {
		modelSlot = "m2"
		uri = out
	}	
}

The model is serialized without any erros and the XMI models header contains the correct URIs for the metamodel.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<EntityEca:DocumentRoot xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:EntityEca="http:// ... /dtds/entity-eca.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http:// ... /dtds/entity-eca.xsd java:// ... EntityEcaPackage">

And a similar line when reading and serializing an entitymodel.
Thus, I assume that there must be another reason for this behavior that only occurs when reading both models in the same workflow.

Best,
Helge

Hi,

Sorry for bringing this up again. But I am still stuck with this problem and would really appreciate any hint that can point me into the right direction to find a solution.

I wrote a workflow component that dumps all EPackages that are registered in the workflow. That is, it writes out all entries of (EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.entrySet()) and both EPackages are registered under the URI of the corresponding XSD metamodel. The following very basic workflow:

Workflow {
	bean = StandaloneSetup {
		registerGeneratedEPackage = "dk.itu.sdg.entityEca.EntityEca.EntityEcaPackage"
		registerGeneratedEPackage = "dk.itu.sdg.entitymodel.Entitymodel.EntitymodelPackage"
	}
	
	bean = org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfMetaModel {
		metaModelPackage = "dk.itu.sdg.entitymodel.Entitymodel.EntitymodelPackage"
	}
	
	bean = org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfMetaModel {
		metaModelPackage = "dk.itu.sdg.entityEca.EntityEca.EntityEcaPackage"
	}

	component = dk.itu.sdg.entitymodel.Entitymodel.util.RegistryChecker {
		printRegistryContents = true
	}

	component = dk.itu.sdg.entitymodel.Entitymodel.util.EntitymodelReader {
		modelSlot = "m1"
		uri = "/Documents/eclipse/helios/runtime-modeling/applications/accounting/entitydef/entitymodel.xml"		
	}
	
	component = dk.itu.sdg.entityEca.EntityEca.util.EntityEcaReader {
		modelSlot = "m2"
		uri = "/Documents/eclipse/helios/runtime-modeling/applications/accounting/entitydef/eecas.xml"
	}
}

generates this output:

That is the EPackages are registered. Do I oversee something very basic, that I have to do, to make this example run?

I have the impression that the problem is not, that the EPackages are not registered, but that there is an issue with the model element names, since they first get capitalized and second they are renamed to "_modelElementName_Type" ("Type" is attached). In the XML files that are read the model element names and package element names are still
But this does not really explain why I can read and seralize XML models of one metamodel but not of multiple metamodels.

a) Is there anyone who reads XML models not with the XSDAdapter but with, e.g., org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.Reader?
b) If so, how do you do this?
c) What did you do for populating your EMF Project?
I just followed the wizard. That is, created an EMF project from an XML schema. Then, I changed the URI in the EPackage from the file URI pointing to the XSD model to the same http URI that is used in the XML modles to refer to their metamodels. Subsequently I generated the model code.
d) Did you generate an xsd2ecore mapping model? Is this necessary? If so, how did you make your workflow aware of the mapping model?

Best,
Helge
