Several XML Files into one UML [message #990994]

Hi,

I have the following situation:

I have a lot of XML files (XSD files, XML files based on custom XSD etc.) with cross-references (e.g. in one XSD another XSD is imported and types defined in this file are refined etc.). Now I want to create one UML model from these files.

Is this possible with ATL? Currently I am using ATL only that way:

One file as input => one file as output.

But how do I work with ATL in this situation? The number of input files can differ and everything is expected to be part of one big model.

Is this possible at all?

Regards,

Tex

I have a transformation with two input files, and one output file

module transf;
create OUT : UML from IN : UML, UTP : UML;

Then, in the run configuration you need to specify every model involved with a correspondig file.

Also, you can use libraries (common operations) and superimposition, where you can configure different files. Take a look to the documentation with these ideas and for sure you are going to make it work Smile

bye!

Hi

If you want a diversity of inputs you may find it better to define your
M2M as

Merge-instruction to Result

so that you merge instruction model references each of the input files
in a suitable way.

The merge instruction meta-model is almost certainly very simple, but
once you have one you can make it more useful.
Since it is so simple, it is very easy to maintain it with the Sample
Reflective Ecore Model editor.
