Hi all,

I have a problem, that I'm trying to solve for a while now. To get to this problem I need to explain some things. First of all I've developed my meta-model that references Ecore.ecore meta-model as i need some elements from it. To make a long story short, in my meta-model, I have developed some concepts that allow two EAttributes of different EClasses to be connected (e.g. one EAttribute gets its value from another, and this is represented by a link between them).

So I've created graphiti based editor, that allows you to specify any input meta-model from which you can take any EClass and put it in a diagram (I have a popup window that allows you to chose any EClass from input meta-model). When you choose an EClass it is automatically added as a pictogram element, and populated with its EAttributes and EReferences. When I do that I can save my diagram without any problems.

But, when i try to connect those two classes (in fact their attributes) i get the following message (full stack trace is in attached file):

Quote:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.graphiti.ui 4 0 2013-07-07 10:29:18.568
!MESSAGE The following resources could not be saved:
URI: platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/model/Ecore.ecore, cause:
java.net.UnknownServiceException: protocol doesn't support output


Here I should mention that in previous version of this tool, where I manually added EClasses (without popup window, I had all those concepts in toolbar and added them one by one), I had no such problems. All of this worked just fine.

Only thing, that I can think of now is that in my saved BO file, I have reference to data types in Ecore (as EAttributes may be of some type specified in Ecore.ecore) and that graphiti is trying to save that file?! In that BO file, all EClasses are not referenced but created inside my concepts(as they are contained in my concepts), and only those EDataType elements are referencing plugin with Ecore.ecore file, as they are referencing EString, EBoolean etc.

I would be very thankful for any pointers on how to solve this problem. If you need any more information I will gladly provide.

Vladimir

Vladimir,

Looking at the stack trace and exception message, it's clear that one of
the resource's being saved is
platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/model/Ecore.ecore, i.e., and
that's definitely not something you should be modifying (although you'd
be modifying only your local in-memory version of it) and most certainly
not something you should be trying to save. I'm not sure of the details
along the stack trace, and I'm pretty sure EMF's URI converter would
treat this as a read only URI (in
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.URIHandlerImpl.getAttributes(URI,
Map<?, ?>)) , so either something is not testing for read-only resources
and trying to save them anyway, or you're expected to specialize
org.eclipse.graphiti.ui.editor.DefaultPersistencyBehavior to add such a
test. In EMF's generated editors,
org.eclipse.emf.edit.domain.AdapterFactoryEditingDomain.isReadOnly(Resource)
is responsible for testing so you might start by setting a breakpoint
there; perhaps you only need to use
org.eclipse.emf.edit.domain.AdapterFactoryEditingDomain.setResourceToReadOnlyMap(Map<Resource,
Boolean>) during initialization...

Hi,

I've had a similar problem, where Graphiti tried to save resources
containing JvmType types that were created during Xtext/Xbase Jvm model
inference. I did not find a way of indicating to Graphiti that certain
resources should not be saved or that they were read only. There really
should be an overridable method that determines if a resource should be
saved, with default behavior to check the readOnlyMap.

Hi Ed, hi Hallvard

first of all, I like to thank you for your answers. In the end I decided that I don't need that interleaved model, so my problem was solved. But as Hallvard said, I didn't find any convenient method for correcting this problem. There should be a method that allows you to ignore some of the resources, while updating other.

Best regards,
Vladimir

Vladimir,

Yes, or the framework should reuse what's already available. I.e., the
editing domain has support for such a check and the implementation of
org.eclipse.emf.edit.domain.AdapterFactoryEditingDomain.isReadOnly(Resource)
shows how EMF's URI converter supports checking if a resource's URI is
read-only. It sounds like someone should open a bugzilla enhancement
request, or maybe it's just a bug to attempt to save a resource that
can't be saved (and should never be modified).

I created https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=412838 for this.
