XSD to Ecore to UML XMI ? [message #26880] Mon, 25 August 2003 11:07 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Originally posted by: pch.sa-glas.mottmac.com

Hi Folks,

I am new to all this so I was wondering if someone could point me in the
right direction. I am hoping to write a standalone Java application that
reads schema files, constructs an internal Ecore model (which I then hope
to manipulate a bit via my own GUI) and then eventually I want to
serialise it out as (UML) XMI. From what I can gather this sounds like
it's do-able with EMF and maybe XSD(?), but I'm not sure where to begin.
Are there any tutorials that would teach me how to use the
classes/packages that I'd need?

Hope you can help
Cheers
Paul

Paul,

In terms of XSD, there are small examples in XSDPrototypicalSchema, the
org.eclipse.xsd.test plugin contains working example of how to run
standalone, the stuff in org.eclipse.xsd.edit can be used to build your own
GUI (even outside of Eclipse, but why would you ;-) and
org.eclipse.xsd.editor contains a sample of how to use this within Eclipse.

In terms of EMF, there are the documentation and tutorials at the website:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E /emf-home/docs/doc.html

and, since you invite an opportunity for me to shameless promote our new
book, there's a really fine book too:

http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0131425420

I wonder if converting XSD to UML isn't a lot like converting XSD to Ecore,
which is done in XSDEcoreBuilder

Ed,

Thanks for the speedy response. I am off and running now! One further
question for now...

I have been looking at XSDEcoreBuilder. I was hoping to pass in the
XSDSchema instance and have an ECore model fall out the other end but I
don't see how to do this. Wishful thinking perhaps! So at the moment I'm
doing it bit by bit with:

XSDEcoreBuilder builder = new XSDEcoreBuilder();
EList list = schema.getElementDeclarations();
for (Iterator i = schema.getElementDeclarations().iterator();
i.hasNext(); )
{
XSDElementDeclaration decl = (XSDElementDeclaration) i.next();
EClassifier cClass = builder.getEClassifier(decl);
}

I guess then that I'd throw all the EClassifiers into an EPackage or
something like that. Is this a reasonable approach or am I missing
something easier?

Thanks again,
Paul.

ps. Consider your plug a success - the book is on order!

Paul,

Sorry there's no Javadoc yet. You can use

builder.generate(schema)

and then look at the map

builder.getTargetNamespaceToEPackageMap()

to see the namespace to package mapping; the values() of this map are the generated
EPackages.

I am working actively on this code and will likely be making significant enhancements.
