Hi,

we are using Xtext 2.2 to do implement our DSL. We manipulate the model in memory and persist the model as an xmi file using the EMF Resource.save() method. We would like to save the model in memory as text file using the DSL grammar we have specified with Xtext. How can we do this in Xtext 2.2? What is the code? I have not found an example in the documentation.

All help appreciated

Thanks

Andy

Hi Christian,

thanks for your quick answer but I do not completely understand. The code I have right now generates an xmi file. What do I have to change to generate the dsl file.

My xmi generation code is:

ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("*", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl());
URI fileURI = URI.createFileURI(new File(xmiFileName).getAbsolutePath());
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(fileURI);
resource.getContents().add(sys);
try {
resource.save(Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
System.out.println(xmiFileName + " generated");
} catch (IOException e) {

Where do I specify the format to write?

Call your dslstandalonrsetup.do setup and use a DSL URI when creating
the resource

If I understand correctly all I should do is create a file with the extension of my registered DSL. In my case this is called "pogo". So if I create a file "myexample.pogo" instead of "myexample.xmi" I will have the model in the format of my DSL's grammar.

Sorry to be slow in understanding !

Here a greeting example

package org.xtext.example.mydsl;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.eclipse.emf.common.util.URI;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.Resource;
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.ResourceSet;
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.Greeting;
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.Model;
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.MyDslFactory;

import com.google.inject.Injector;

public class Main {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Injector injector = new MyDslStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();
		ResourceSet rs = injector.getInstance(ResourceSet.class);
		Resource r = rs.createResource(URI.createURI("test.mydsl"));
		Model m = MyDslFactory.eINSTANCE.createModel();
		Greeting g1 = MyDslFactory.eINSTANCE.createGreeting();
		g1.setName("g1");
		Greeting g2 = MyDslFactory.eINSTANCE.createGreeting();
		g2.setName("g2");
		m.getGreetings().add(g1);
		m.getGreetings().add(g2);
		r.getContents().add(m);
		try {
			r.save(null);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

	}

}

The code is the same, no matter in which format you save your model. The trick is the file extension. It tells the framework in which format you want to save. If you use ".xml", you get an ecore XMI model. If you use ".foo" (if the extension for your DSL is "foo"), then the model will be saved in the "Foo" DSL.
