How to call an EOperation in atl program? [message #899963] Fri, 03 August 2012 08:59 Go to next message

Hi,

I defined an hexToInt(string) EOperation in the ecore diagram(within the Module class). Then I call that operation in an ATL rule.

lazy rule rule_getModule{
from
b:source!ModuleItem

to
d:target!Module(
s7ModuleReference <- b.ModuleReference,
isSelectedWithinStep7<-b.IsSelected
)
do{
d.deviceID<-d.hexToInt(b.getIdentNumber());
}
}

I did debug the atl program. It seems to me that ATL VM cannot find the hexToInt() operation.

This gives an error at hexToInt() operation call,

org.eclipse.m2m.atl.engine.emfvm.VMException: Operation not found: OUT!<unnamed>.hexToInt(java.lang.String)
at rule_getModule#40(TPF2PSSu2.atl[85:15-85:45])


I set source.ecore, target.ecore, input.xml and output.xml at run configuration.

Can someone help me to fix this error?

Thanks in advance.
K

Kosala,

I'm not sure who they implement operation invocation. It might rely on
the generated model itself supported EObject.eInvoke. You have to
enable that by setting the GenModel's Operation Invocation property to true.

Ed,

Thanks a mil for your advice. How to set the Operation Invocation property of GenModel?
I can see Operation Reflection property in the property view of the GenModel. I cannot find a property called Operation Invocation.

Kosala

Ed,

Thanks for your advice, but I still have the same error.


At run configuration,
I tried to set up nsURI of the model (nsURI="model") instead of file path to model.ecore.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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="model"
nsURI="model" nsPrefix="">
---
</ecore:EPackage>

now i get an error:
Error loading platform:/resourcensURI="model": java.net.MalformedURLException: Invalid URL "platform:/resourcensURI="model"".

do u have any clue to solve this error?

Thanks
Kosala

It's not generally a good idea to use the empty string as an
nsPrefix... Also the nsURI should be something that's globally unique
in an application, so an actual URI of something like a qualified
package name would be better.

I can't comment on something like this without context. If this is an
ATL question, best you ask there.

You've not provided enough clues about what the error is. No stack
trace or anything like that...

It is very very unusual to have " in a URI, and platform:/resource is
invariably followed by a "/".

You have clearly made a mess of some string concatenation processing.

Once you fix that you will almost certainly find that you have not
registered platform: functionality correctly.

> do u have any clue to solve this error?
Find a working ATL example and use that as a reference for your debugging.

Thanks.

My problem is, yes I defined EOperation (hexToInt(String)) signature at target.ecore diagram, however the EOperation is implemented at the code base, which is generated from the target.genmodel.

How to call this hexToInt() in my ATL module? This is my problem.

Can I use run configuration settings to call this operation? I do not think so, because run configuration is not linked with generated code. (is there any way to make that link?)

As the other option,
I created an ATL plugin, and trying to run as a java application.

Properties file:
# Metamodels paths or nsUris
TPF2PSSu2.metamodels.source = file:/C:/..../source.ecore
TPF2PSSu2.metamodels.target = file:/C:/.../target.ecore


loading models:

/**
* Load the input and input/output models, initialize output models.
* @generated
*/
public void loadModels(String inModelPath) throws ATLCoreException {
ModelFactory factory = new EMFModelFactory();
IInjector injector = new EMFInjector();
IReferenceModel sourceMetamodel = factory.newReferenceModel();
injector.inject(sourceMetamodel, getMetamodelUri("source"));
IReferenceModel targetMetamodel = factory.newReferenceModel();


injector.inject(targetMetamodel, getMetamodelUri("target"));
this.inModel = factory.newModel(sourceMetamodel);
injector.inject(inModel, inModelPath);
this.outModel = factory.newModel(targetMetamodel);
}


I still get the error:

org.eclipse.m2m.atl.engine.emfvm.VMException: Operation not found: OUT!<unnamed>.hexToInt(java.lang.String)
at rule_getModule#40(TPF2PSSu2.atl[87:15-87:45])

Yes, I can understand, this launcher is not yet connected with the generated code.


Is there any approach to load the target meta model from the generated code?

It looks to me some modification is needed at
injector.inject(targetMetamodel, getMetamodelUri("target"));
this.inModel = factory.newModel(sourceMetamodel);


I really appriciate any help to solve this problem.

Thanks
Kosala

So you have a generated model and it compiles okay?

This is an ATL question. I don't know the answer.

I think this is an ATL question as well.

In a launcher for an Eclipse application you can specify which bundles
should be part of the application.

Best you ask on the ATL newsgroup questions that are specific to ATL.

Thanks for all. I got it working.


Hope this info is useful.

I defined EOperations in the target model and load them using its URI.

code example:

public void loadModels(String inputModelPath) throws ATLCoreException{

ResourceSet resourceSet = getResourceSet();

EMFModelFactory factory = new EMFModelFactory();
IInjector injector = new EMFInjector();

//inject path of the source meta model to IReferenceModel instance
IReferenceModel sourceMetamodel = factory.newReferenceModel();
injector.inject(sourceMetamodel, this.getSourceMetamodelPath());

//inject path of the target meta model from URI to IReferenceModel instance
IReferenceModel targetMetamodel = factory.newReferenceModel();
injector.inject(targetMetamodel, getPackage_eNS_URI());

//create new model instance and inject source model
this.inModel = factory.newModel(sourceMetamodel);
injector.inject(inModel, inputModelPath);

//create new model instance for target model
this.outModel = factory.newModel(targetMetamodel);
}


In order to load the target model, I am using "getPackage_eNS_URI()", which gives the URI of the target model. I defined Eoperations in the target model.
