[Acceleo] Class 'System' is not found or is abstract [message #895088]

Hi everyone,

We are trying to generate Lydia code from an xmi file. But we get the error "Class 'System' is not found or is abstract".

SO, we are using our own ecore metamodel. All packages are registered in the generated java file (I read it is not possible to register the metamodel alone when it is made of different packages, but all packages have to be individualy registered).
We use Indigo version.
The input model is an .xmi file. Here is the code we use for registering the factory resource:

resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xmi", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl());

The heading of the input model is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<STRUCT:[b]System[/b] xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:STRUCT="http: //zuse.ucc.ie/itobo/structure"   
    xmlns:DX="http: //zuse.ucc.ie/itobo/diagnosis"
    xmlns:PL="http: //zuse.ucc.ie/itobo/propositionallogic" 
    name="main">

All this packages are registered in the generated java file.

resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put("http: //zuse.ucc.ie/itobo/structure", org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EcorePackage.eINSTANCE);

However registering everything, the error "class "System" is not found or is abstract" still comes up.

Also, sometimes the error "emtl file is not found" appears (may be significant(?))

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi,

This means that you are registering the package of the Ecore meta-model "EcorePackage.eINSTANCE" to handle all occurrences of the URI "http: //zuse.ucc.ie/itobo/structure".

resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put("http: //zuse.ucc.ie/itobo/structure", org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EcorePackage.eINSTANCE);

You code should look like this:

resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put("http: //zuse.ucc.ie/itobo/structure", ie.ucc.zuse.package.where.your.emf.code.is.generated.by.the.genmodel.NameOfYourRootPackage.eINSTANCE);

Regards,

Hi Stephane,

I am a little confused. The project has no genmodel. It has the mtl file, the generated java file, the ecore meta-model and the xmi input model.

Please see here a screenshot of the project explorer and the registerPackages() function in Generate.java:
https: //dl.dropbox.com/u/50566170/Screenshot.png (remove space)

Does the project require a genmodel?

Regards and Thanks,

Ecore is pretty good but it is not magic.

When you specify

resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put("...",
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EcorePackage.eINSTANCE);

you specify that the functionality of the "..." model has been compiled
into the EcorePackage.eINSTANCE. You have therefore specified that six
of your models are identical to the standard Ecore.

You can use dynamic Ecore to avoid genmodel and Java files, but you must
create an EPackage. So something like

Resource resource =
resourceSet.getResource("file:/location/of/hybridautomaton.ecore", true);
EPackage ePackage = (EPackage) resource.getContents().get(0);
EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.put(ePackage.getNsURI(), ePackage);

for each of your models.

Thanks Ed,

I added this code:

Resource resource = 
            		resourceSet.getResource(URI.createFileURI("./src/org/itobo/modeltotext/common/System.ecore"), true);
            
            		EPackage ePackage = (EPackage) resource.getContents().get(0);
            		EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.put(ePackage.getNsURI(), ePackage);

But this applies only to the ecore meta-model. How can each ePackake be registered since they are all share the same ecore meta-model path?

Same error "class not found" comes up.

Cheers and Thanks

Yes you can. You just need to modify resource.getContents().get(0) to
navigate to them.

Thanks, I tried that with this code:

Resource resource = resourceSet.getResource(URI.createFileURI("./src/org/itobo/modeltotext/common/System.ecore"), true);
            
for (Iterator iter = resource.getContents().iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
          	EPackage element = (EPackage) iter.next();
           	resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(element.getNsURI(), element);
}

It only iterates on the main package not entering the sub-packages where the actual classes are (see dl.dropbox.com/u/50566170/Ecore.png).

I know this is more like a java question, but any help is very welcome,

Thanks

Hi

Try

for (TreeIterator<EObject> tit = resource.getAllContents();
tit.hasNext(); ) {
EObject eObject = tit.next();
if (eObject instanceof EPackage) {
...
}
}

or program the nested descent yourself.
