Hello,

I am just looking at Teneo, since I was looking for an elegant solution
to get a relational persistence solution for my rather complex model. It
consists of numerous nested packages. When I did my first simple test to
persist a small example model (I just used the setup code from the Teneo
library example and replaced writer/author/etc. with my classes, all of
which are within a single package, which I set to the DataStore using
setEPackages), I received a NullPointerException when the Mapping was
created. From the output code I figured that the culprit was a reference
to a class in another package (which I had to added with setEPackage).
So i did, and now the mapping generation stuck at another external
reference. Since all my packages are connected in one way or another, I
would have to add them all. Since I add to the model regularly, that
would require modifying the code whenever I introduce a new package. Is
there a way around this problem, i.e., can I tell Teneo to include the
"transitive closure" of packages?

Regards

Jürgen

Hi Jurgen,
No there is currently no option to do that. Using the code posted by Ed in the other post I think
you can solve this on your side.
How many epackages do you have? And how many epackages do you add/remove per week?

Can you post the npe stacktrace or enter a bugzilla for it? Then I can improve the error handling.

Thanks Ed, I will try this out. It is not too big an issue for me, it
just made me wonder whether my approach to modeling/EMF development
(having lots of packages and doing changes to the structure all the
time) is flawed, as no one had provided a convenience method like this
yet, or whether I was just missing something.

Jürgen

Yes I saw your bugzilla. The same npe was reported before, is your problem similar to this post:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.emf t/msg01760.html

He made this change:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.emf t/msg01786.html

Does this (possibly) also apply to your case?

Its not so much an issue if *I* have to do that, but what I am building
right now is supposed to be extensible by other people, ideally by only
designing a model that extends my "core" model. So I would like to keep
dependencies on the actual packages present minimal -- zero at best.

I got a lot of different errors. When I first encountered the problem,
looked at Teneo's debug output, telling me that it was just handling an
inbound "package-external" (don't know a better word) reference. So I
added this package. On the next run, I would get a very different stack
trace. So I added more packages. And was greeted with another, so I
decided to "just for now" add all packages. That's when I wrote the posting.

I appended the first two stack traces. ModelElement is that pivotal
class of mine, toMatches is the name of a reference to ModelElement
coming from another package.

It seems that he had references with file paths for ecore models, for
example src/srd/impl/srd.ecore#//EnumType and that something went wrong
with resolving these when loading ecore resources. I don't see how, with
correct relative path everything should be OK and if path was wrong,
exception would be thrown. Anyway, in my case, all references are
without file paths and ecore files are in same directory.

To express problem more clearly: I think that while creating
PAnnotations for EReference, Annotator tries to get name of Entity
PAnnotation. But this name is null, since referenced class hasn't been
processed yet, hence NullPointerException. If I add explicit @OneToMany
to EReference, NullPointerException is not thrown.

There are differences between processing dynamic and static models which
I don't understand clearly at this moment. I think the issue applies to
both, so dynamic in bugzilla title is probably a misnomer.

I can also confirm that very similar NPE also occurs if loading several
interconnected dynamic packages is not done exactly like this:

- all package resources are in same ResourceSet
- URIs for package resources are created with URI.createFileURI()
- All paths given to URI.createFileURI() are absolute

This could be put in FAQ or in exception message, even though it's more
EMF issue than Teneo one. Similar problem seems to be addressed in EMF FAQ:

What can cause some of the resources in a resource set, which correspond
to schema documents referenced by <include> <import> or <redefine>, to
return null from (XSDResourceImpl)resource.getSchema()?

* This could be seen if you iterate through the resource in a
ResourceSet, for example:| for (Iterator resources =
resourceSet.getResources().iterator(); resources.hasNext();) {
Resource resource = (Resource)resources.next(); /* Now use
getSchema() */ }|
If the <include> <import> or <redefine> contained a schemaLocation
which has a relative file path, the library will not resolve it,
and this can be a symptom.

To get around this problem, have code which is guaranteed to turn
the URI into an absolute URI. For example:| File file = new
File(schemaURL); if (file.isFile()) { schemaURL =
URI.createFileURI(file.getCanonicalFile().toString()).toStri ng(); }|


And it makes me wonder: how is it possible to load interrelated packages
from non-file URIs ?

To answer my own question: ResourceSet has URIConverter which can be
overriden or given URIMap to specify mapping. However, it would be nice
to put this in Teneo FAQ and/or add something like "You also need to use
ResourceSet for loading package resources and either a) specify absolute
URIs or b) customize URIConverter of the ResourceSet " to exception message.

Thanks Ed, I will try this out. It is not too big an issue for me, it
just made me wonder whether my approach to modeling/EMF development
(having lots of packages and doing changes to the structure all the
time) is flawed, as no one had provided a convenience method like this
yet, or whether I was just missing something.

Yes I saw your bugzilla. The same npe was reported before, is your problem similar to this post:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.emf t/msg01760.html

He made this change:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.emf t/msg01786.html

Does this (possibly) also apply to your case?

Its not so much an issue if *I* have to do that, but what I am building
right now is supposed to be extensible by other people, ideally by only
designing a model that extends my "core" model. So I would like to keep
dependencies on the actual packages present minimal -- zero at best.

I got a lot of different errors. When I first encountered the problem,
looked at Teneo's debug output, telling me that it was just handling an
inbound "package-external" (don't know a better word) reference. So I
added this package. On the next run, I would get a very different stack
trace. So I added more packages. And was greeted with another, so I
decided to "just for now" add all packages. That's when I wrote the posting.

I appended the first two stack traces. ModelElement is that pivotal
class of mine, toMatches is the name of a reference to ModelElement
coming from another package.

It seems that he had references with file paths for ecore models, for
example src/srd/impl/srd.ecore#//EnumType and that something went wrong
with resolving these when loading ecore resources. I don't see how, with
correct relative path everything should be OK and if path was wrong,
exception would be thrown. Anyway, in my case, all references are
without file paths and ecore files are in same directory.

To express problem more clearly: I think that while creating
PAnnotations for EReference, Annotator tries to get name of Entity
PAnnotation. But this name is null, since referenced class hasn't been
processed yet, hence NullPointerException. If I add explicit @OneToMany
to EReference, NullPointerException is not thrown.

There are differences between processing dynamic and static models which
I don't understand clearly at this moment. I think the issue applies to
both, so dynamic in bugzilla title is probably a misnomer.

I can also confirm that very similar NPE also occurs if loading several
interconnected dynamic packages is not done exactly like this:

- all package resources are in same ResourceSet
- URIs for package resources are created with URI.createFileURI()
- All paths given to URI.createFileURI() are absolute

This could be put in FAQ or in exception message, even though it's more
EMF issue than Teneo one. Similar problem seems to be addressed in EMF FAQ:

What can cause some of the resources in a resource set, which correspond
to schema documents referenced by <include> <import> or <redefine>, to
return null from (XSDResourceImpl)resource.getSchema()?

* This could be seen if you iterate through the resource in a
ResourceSet, for example:| for (Iterator resources =
resourceSet.getResources().iterator(); resources.hasNext();) {
Resource resource = (Resource)resources.next(); /* Now use
getSchema() */ }|
If the <include> <import> or <redefine> contained a schemaLocation
which has a relative file path, the library will not resolve it,
and this can be a symptom.

To get around this problem, have code which is guaranteed to turn
the URI into an absolute URI. For example:| File file = new
File(schemaURL); if (file.isFile()) { schemaURL =
URI.createFileURI(file.getCanonicalFile().toString()).toStri ng(); }|


And it makes me wonder: how is it possible to load interrelated packages
from non-file URIs ?

To answer my own question: ResourceSet has URIConverter which can be
overriden or given URIMap to specify mapping. However, it would be nice
to put this in Teneo FAQ and/or add something like "You also need to use
ResourceSet for loading package resources and either a) specify absolute
URIs or b) customize URIConverter of the ResourceSet " to exception message.
