Hi all...

I am trying to generate only one file for model. (One model contains a class diagram with many classes).
For example, I want to create a txt file with all the names of the classes.

I have done this:

[comment encoding = UTF-8 /]
[module generate('.../uml2/3.0.0/UML')]


[template public Main(aClass : Class)]

[comment @main/]
[file (aClass.name.concat('.txt'), false)]		
    [printNameClass(aClass)/]
[/file]


If I have a model with 4 classes, this code generates four different file with the name of their class.

I want to create only one file with all the four names. How can I do it?
Thanks.

Hi,

why do you define your template for a uml::Class if you want to define it for a uml::Model?
and then navigate through/search the model for classes and output them.
an imported thing when you do MDD is: know the metamodel

[comment encoding = UTF-8 /]
[module generate('http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML')]


[template public Main(aClass : Model)]

[comment @main/]
[file (aClass.name.concat('.txt'),  false, 'UTF-8')]
    [print(aClass)/]
[/file]

[/template]
[template public print(aClass : Model)]
Classname  [aClass.name/],
visibility [aClass.visibility/]
[/template]


If I change the "Class" with "Model" I'm not able to access the class name.
It wrote "Data" instead of the class name.

How can I iterate for all the class name?
Its really hard to find in that guide.

Hi

This is OO.

"a".toUpperCase() works in Java but 4.toUpperCase() doesn't; I wonder why?

The syntax is not clear and even the way on how to print the class names in one file.

Can you give a real example please?

Hi,

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Acceleo/Getting_Started
should give you all information you need to do the task.
if you have a file that does correctly traverse the AST
and then still have problems to output the names
you can ask again Wink

I have read and re-read that quick start guide but there is no syntax,
no explanations on how to traverse the AST since the only example is the one that generate one file per class.

Hi,

still the same.

(1) how to traverse. you need to know the metamodel. in Xpand such a traversation would look like

«IMPORT uml»

«DEFINE main FOR Model»
«FILE "test.txt"»
«EXPAND handlePackageElement FOREACH this.packagedElement»
«ENDFILE»
«ENDDEFINE»

«REM»Just a Fallback«ENDREM»
«DEFINE handlePackageElement FOR PackageableElement»
«ENDDEFINE»

«DEFINE handlePackageElement FOR Package»
«EXPAND handlePackageElement FOREACH this.packagedElement»
«ENDDEFINE»

«DEFINE handlePackageElement FOR Class»
Class: «this.name»
«ENDDEFINE»


(2) how to technically traverse with acceleo you can find here

 [template public umlToBeans(aPackage : Package)]
 [comment @main /]
 [for (aClass : Class | aPackage.packagedElement->filter(Class))]
 	[aClass.generate()/]
 [/for]
 [/template]


and how to get everything into one file:

do the same in acceleo than you do in xpand.

the tutorial contains an example for even this too

 [template public generate(aClass : Class)]
 [file (aClass.name.concat('.java'), false)]
   public class [aClass.name.toUpperFirst()/] {
   [for (p: Property | aClass.attribute) separator('\n')]
     private [p.type.name/] [p.name/];
   [/for]
 
   [for (p: Property | aClass.attribute) separator('\n')]
     public [p.type.name/] get[p.name.toUpperFirst()/]() {
       return this.[p.name/];
     }
   [/for]
 
   [for (o: Operation | aClass.ownedOperation) separator('\n')]
     public [o.type.name/] [o.name/]() {
       // TODO should be implemented
     }
   [/for]
   }
 [/file]
 [/template]


the properties go into the same file as the class does. what a miracle.

For first thanks for the answer, I really appreciate your help but
that code does not solve the problem since it generates n file for n classes.

the code you have posted:
 [template public umlToBeans(aPackage : Package)]
 [comment @main /]
 [for (aClass : Class | aPackage.packagedElement->filter(Class))]
 	[aClass.generate()/]
 [/for]
 [/template]

 [template public generate(aClass : Class)]
 [file (aClass.name.concat('.java'), false)]
   public class [aClass.name.toUpperFirst()/] {
   [for (p: Property | aClass.attribute) separator('\n')]
     private [p.type.name/] [p.name/];
   [/for]
 
   [for (p: Property | aClass.attribute) separator('\n')]
     public [p.type.name/] get[p.name.toUpperFirst()/]() {
       return this.[p.name/];
     }
   [/for]
 
   [for (o: Operation | aClass.ownedOperation) separator('\n')]
     public [o.type.name/] [o.name/]() {
       // TODO should be implemented
     }
   [/for]
   }
 [/file]
 [/template]


generates exactly the same things that my original code generates with "different" requests.

This is my original code:
[template public Main(aClass : Class)]
[comment @main/]
[file (aClass.name.concat('.txt'),  false, 'UTF-8')]
    [print(aClass)/]
[/file]
[/template]

[template public print(aClass : Class)]
Class name = [aClass.name/]
[/template]


As I asked, I need to generate only one output file with the names of the classes contained in the model.
If my model have 4 classes for example, I need to create only one output file containing the name of the four classes.

With mine and yours code, acceleo generates four output file for four classes.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

HI,

i wont do your homework. i wanted to tell you that you should create a file like

THIS IS A TEMPLATE FOR A UML::MODEL
FILE "FILENAME.TXT"
TRAVERSE THE MODEL AND SREACH THE CLASSES AND OOUTPUT THEIR NAME
ENDFILE
ENDOFTHETEMPLATE

I have a degree in computer science, don't call it homework Smile
The homework time is finished, now I need to choose if use acceleo in my company or not so I am studying it Smile

In any case, your suggestion is really much appreciated and I thank you for your help/patience.
I tought you gived me the solution but, I understood the code now and "adjusted" the shot.

Now I can print all the class names in one file. Thanks.
I will continue my excercise. I will post some more question here, if I'll have questions, hope you will be here Smile

Again, many thanks.

Ok, I'm continuing with my excercises. Really hard for me to open mind to this new concept but slowly, something is moving.

This is my latest code to print all the class name on a file and to print
the the generalizations.

I have two classes with a generalization.
A dog class and an animal class.
A dog is an animal.

I want to print that a dog is an animal
[template public umlToBeans(aPackage : Package)]
[comment @main /]
[for (aClass : Class | aPackage.packagedElement->filter(Class))]
	[aClass.generate()/]
[/for]
[/template]

[template public generate(aClass : Class)]
[file ('Output.txt', true)]

[aClass.name.toUpperFirst()/] is an  
[for (p: Generalization | aClass.generalization) separator('')]
	[p.target/] // I think that the problem is here
[/for]

[/file]
[/template]


the output is:
Dog is an  
	org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal.impl.ClassImpl@1a4f105 (name: animal, visibility: <unset>) (isLeaf: false, isAbstract: true) (isActive: false)


I think that the problem is in the [p.target/] should I use something like [p.target.name/] to extract only the class name ???

What is the correct [p.target.???/] to extract only the class name?
Many thanks for the help, if any.

Hi,

one more my advice: have a look at/know the metamodel - you would see that the Target ist of type Element that has a subclass NamedElement that has a subsub..class Class. Only NamedElements have a name

I'm looking at metamodel, I have also opened the .uml file to try to understand something more but I can't understand the way to access the information I need.
I have got my degree in CS without problem, I should not be too much stupid, why it is so difficult?

Solved with this:
[for (it : Generalization | aClass.generalization)]
[aClass.name.toUpperFirst()/] is a [it.general.name/]
[/for]


Christian don't leave me alone, I will back with other questions Smile

Hi,

i am still not sure if you understood the problem.

consider you have following Java Interfaces

public interface Relationship {
	Element getTarget();
}


public interface Element {
}


public interface NamedElement extends Element {
	String getName();
}


public interface Class extends NamedElement{
}


so now you should know/understand the problem
how to solve it

(1) use some if else and typechecks (ocliskindof)
(2) Acceleo (as Xpand) supports Polymorphic Dispatch
this fact should help you to solve the problem

thus the solution for your last problem could have looked like
[template public generateElement(model : Model)]
[comment @main/]
[file ('test.txt', false, 'UTF-8')]
[for (e : Element | model.ownedElement)]
[gen(e)/]	
[/for]
[/file]
[/template]

[template public gen(c : Class)]
	Class: [c.name/]
[/template]

[template public gen(p : Package)]
	[for (e : Element | p.ownedElement)]
	[gen(e)/]	
	[/for]
[/template]

[template public gen(c : Element)]
[/template]


this should help you to handle only elements that are of type Class and throw the other ones to /dev/null

we are solving many problems, thanks.

Now I would like to understand how to output aggregations.
Suppose that I have two classes. professor and class.
The Prof. class is aggregate with the class.
A prof has a class, and a class has 1 or more professor.

How can I output something like????:
A prof has a class, and a class has 1 or more professor.

can you ask a bit more specific? what do you have so far? what is the problem?
where do you stuck. if you can post your uml model (as xmi) this would help to

The problem is that I would like to be able to output pure text from my model.
My model has two classes with an aggregation. The aggregation has multiplicity.

From this simple model, I would like to output a simple text like the one I saied.
Another phrases that I would like to output for example.
A professor can aggregate a class. A class can aggregate 1 or more professor.

Is it possible to output a phrase like this?

Hi,

this is once more a question on the uml metamodel and not one on acceleo. so asking the uml forum or having a look at the uml metamodel would
once more help. ( i know that uml is ugly but you have to blame the OMG for that

[template public generateElement(aModel : Model)]
[comment @main /]
[file ('test.txt', false, 'Cp1252')]
	[for (a : Association | aModel.eAllContents(Association))]
A [a.memberEnd->at(1).type.name/] has [a.memberEnd->at(2).lower/] [a.memberEnd->at(2).upper/] [a.memberEnd->at(2).type.name/].
A [a.memberEnd->at(2).type.name/] has [a.memberEnd->at(1).lower/] [a.memberEnd->at(1).upper/] [a.memberEnd->at(1).type.name/].   
	[/for]
[/file]
[/template]

You are a good Professor Christian, I really appreciate your help.
You have teached me a lot and I'm really greatful for this.

I don't want to hurt your patience but I have the last question if possible.

In the way you teached me I can see if I have a "link" between two classes but I can't know if this link is a composition, an aggregation or an association.
Is it possible to print something like??:
A Professor has 1 * Class and it is a aggregation.

obviously the "and it is a aggregation" phrase should be added only if its true that it is an aggregation and not a normal association.

Hi,

you can inspect the aggregation kind: [a.memberEnd->at(1).aggregation/]

Hi,

you make a destinction that does not exist. a composition is a special aggregtion

P.S: in doubt have a look at the specs http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.4.1/Superstructure/PDF/

I know the difference between Composition and Aggregation.
As you see in the guide you posted UML has two different arrow to illustrate a composition or an aggregation.

That guide says that an aggregationKind can be
none
Indicates that the property has no aggregation.

shared
Indicates that the property has a shared aggregation.

composite
Indicates that the property is aggregated compositely, i.e., the composite

In this case this:
[a.memberEnd->at(1).aggregation/]
should return none, shared, composite.

In my code it returns only none or shared, it never return composite also if
I specified a composition in my diagram using magic draw.

I'm really sorry
[a.memberEnd->at(1).aggregation/]
[a.memberEnd->at(2).aggregation/]

Now correctly output shared, composite or none.

Thanks a million professor, I finished with my questions.
You really helped me a lot, thanks a billion Smile

See you here around Smile

Hi all...
I have written this code to print the enumations's name of my model along with its properties.

My model contains only one enumaration like this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17948666/enumartion.PNG

The MTL code is this:
[template public stampaEnumerazioni(aEnumeration : Enumeration)]
[comment @main /]
[file ('test.txt', true, 'UTF-8')]
[aEnumeration.name/] is an enumeration.
Property:
[aEnumeration.eAllContents().eAllContents()/]
[/file]
[/template]


The output correctly print the enumeration name with the properties.
TemperatureScale is an enumeration.
Property:
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal.impl.EnumerationLiteralImpl@2e7ceb (name: Celsius, visibility: <unset>)org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal.impl.EnumerationLiteralImpl@b3be2 (name: Fahreneit, visibility: <unset>)org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal.impl.EnumerationLiteralImpl@1888e26 (name: Kelvin, visibility: <unset>)org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal.impl.EnumerationLiteralImpl@2c6ee9 (name: Rankine, visibility: <unset>)


I would like to filter the output to get something like this:
TemperatureScale is an enumeration.
Property:
Celsius
Fahreneit
Kelvin
Rankine

Is it possible? Should I add some filter to:
[aEnumeration.eAllContents().eAllContents()/]
if yes how? If no, how can I do it?

Thanks for any help you could give. Smile

Hi

Christian has consistently been saying 'know your meta-model'

[aEnumeration.eAllContents().eAllContents()/]

Is incredibly stupid, but fortunately enumerations only have limited
content so the N-squared usage is not catastrophic.

Christiain pointed you at the Java version of your meta-model where you
will find an accessor for the literals. If you look at the true
meta-model in the UML spec or the UML2 project you won't get confused by
EMF's Java encoding of the model features.

Regards

Ed Willink

Not catastrophic but it output anything.
There is not output at all from
[aEnumeration.eAllContents().eAllContents()/]
