org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.AcceleoEvaluationException [message #1431349]

Here is the exception: Exception in thread "main" org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.AcceleoEvaluationException: The type of the first parameter of the main template named 'generateElement' is a proxy.
at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.service.AcceleoService.doGenerate(AcceleoService.java:632)
at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.service.AbstractAcceleoGenerator.generate(AbstractAcceleoGenerator.java:211)
at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.service.AbstractAcceleoGenerator.generate(AbstractAcceleoGenerator.java:172)
at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.service.AbstractAcceleoGenerator.doGenerate(AbstractAcceleoGenerator.java:159)
at com.att.itos.workflow.acceleco.test1.common.Generate.doGenerate(Generate.java:206)
at com.att.itos.workflow.acceleco.test1.common.Generate.main(Generate.java:164)

This is where it is thrown:

Class:
Method : doGenerate

Here is where the exception is thrown:

if (argumentType.eIsProxy()) {
throw new AcceleoEvaluationException(AcceleoEngineMessages.getString(
"AcceleoService.TypeIsProxy", templateName)); //$NON-NLS-1$
}

argumentType is :

org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@2d5534 (eProxyURI: file:/C:/Users/rl8840/WorkspaceATT2/com.att.itos.workflow.acceleco.test1/bin/com/att/itos/workflow/acceleco/test1/common/www.att.com/WorkflowScreenModel#//UserStory)

I dont understand why it is a eProxyURI, which is causing the exception to be thrown.

Hi

You haven't registered something.

"file:/C:/Users/rl8840/WorkspaceATT2/com.att.itos.workflow.acceleco.test1/bin/com/att/itos/workflow/acceleco/test1/common/www.att.com/WorkflowScreenModel#//UserStory"

looks suspiciously like a couple of names that are sensible to you
joined together to give rubbish and consequently a load failure and
downstream proxies to the load failure.

For simple cases the comments in the autogenerated Acceleo template tell
you what to do. Do as you are told and if necessary practice on a simple
autogenerated example.

For complex cases, welcome to the Java debugger and the eccentricities
of Acceleo URI resolution.

Thank you for your reply.

Within my Generate class:

I have registered my meta model :

in the method registerResourceFactories I have placed:

resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("workflowscreenmodel", new WorkflowScreenModelResourceFactoryImpl());

and within the method I have :

resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(WorkflowScreenModel.WorkflowScreenModelPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI(), WorkflowScreenModel.WorkflowScreenModelPackage.eINSTANCE);

I dont understand where : "file:/C:/Users/rl8840/WorkspaceATT2/com.att.itos.workflow.acceleco.test1/bin/com/att/itos/workflow/acceleco/test1/common/www.att.com/WorkflowScreenModel#//UserStory"

is coming from.

Ed,

I have gone around in circles on this issue.

I have created a very small example that generates the error. Please find it attached.

I have been registering my model as prescribed.

The attached example demonstrates the problem.

I greatly appreciate your help.

Hi

Perhaps the problem is that

#Import-Package: com.att.test.testbar.testModel,
com.att.test.testbar.testModel.util,

do not exist. I certainly can't help you without them.

Probably irrelevant, but I note an unconstrained import

com.google.guava

Make sure you only have version 15 available.

Regards

Ed,

Sorry about the com.att.test.testbar stuff. I thought I had stripped that out. It is superfluous.

I checked com.google.guava and its version 15.

I have attached the corrected code.

Thanks for looking at this for me.

Hi Ed,

Are you seeing the same issue with the sample code I sent? Its a very simple model. I have not done anything special with the code. I created the model, generated the supporting code and attempted to create an acceleo template.

Hi

You'll find it works a lot better if you

a) include your metamodel plugin on the classpath/projrct dependencies
- well worth Bugzilla for the opaque behaviour

b) don't use a URI such as 'example.com' that looks like a file name,
prefix with http://
- well worth another Bugzillaa.

argh.

I have been stuck on this for weeks banging my head!!!
Thank you so much. I rebuilt my example using your advice and all work.
So frustrating!
Again thanks..
