It's me again Smile

Still using Sirius 1.0.1, I would like to display the elements of my tree-based editor using an unified format: eClass name <space> object id (the same format as in EMF's generated editor).

So I defined a Java Service, which is a public class with an empty public zero-argument constructor. Inside this Java Service I implemented the following method:

public String getDisplayName(EObject eObject) {
    EAttribute eAttribute = eObject.eClass().getEIDAttribute();
    if (eAttribute == null) {
        return eObject.eClass().getName();
    } else {
        return eObject.eClass().getName() + ' ' + eObject.eGet(eAttribute);
    }
}

I then added a <JavaExtension> as a child of my <Viewpoint> element, using the FQN of my Java Service.

But when I use expression [self.getDisplayName() /] or [getDisplayName() /] as a <TreeItemStyleDescription> label, I get the following error in the console:

org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.AcceleoEvaluationException: Argument types mismatch for module element dynamicModuleQuery80.
	at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.generation.AcceleoEngine.doEvaluate(AcceleoEngine.java:401)
	at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.generation.AcceleoEngine.evaluate(AcceleoEngine.java:203)
	at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.service.AcceleoEvaluationTask.evaluateQuery(AcceleoEvaluationTask.java:122)
	at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.service.AcceleoEvaluationTask.call(AcceleoEvaluationTask.java:291)
	at org.eclipse.sirius.common.acceleo.mtl.business.internal.interpreter.DynamicAcceleoModule.evaluate(DynamicAcceleoModule.java:531)
[...]

The name of the Java Service method seems to be correctly resolved, because when I change the label expression with a non-existing method name, I get the following error in the console:

!MESSAGE Compilation error for expression [getDisplayNamez() /] : Cannot find operation (getDisplayNamez()) for the type (ConfigurationDataFile)

(ConfigurationDataFile is the EMF class corresponding to the root object displayed in my tree)

What did I do wrong ?

Hi Frédéric,

To use Acceleo 3 expression in your odesign, you must reference the
metamodels on which your representations works. You can add these
references on Viewpoint through the properties view in the Metamodels
tab. These references must be of the form
"platform:/plugin/ProjectName/..." then you must have your metamodels
plugins deployed before. Finally when testing your odesign, it must also
be deployed to avoid kind of errors like you have. Then when using
Acceleo 3 you must works with 3 instances :

- one for your metamodels plugins
- one for your odesign plugin
- and a last one for your model on which you test your odesign.

Is it the case?

Best Regards.

Hi and thank you for your support,

I am not able to make the 3-instance solution work. To sum up, I have :

com.mycompany.siriustest.model

com.mycompany.siriustest.model.edit

com.mycompany.siriustest.model.editor

com.mycompany.siriustest.design

com.mycompany.siriustest.sample

I referenced the meta-model in my Viewpoint, as you told me. But:
- when I edit the .odesign file, the methods of the Java Service never appear when I try to use completion in an expression (using the service:method syntax or the [ method() /] syntax)
- when I test my .odesign with an EMF model, no label appears. With the second syntax, I get the following error message in the console:
Cannot find operation (method()) for the type (ConfigurationDataFile)
With the first syntax, no error message is displayed.

BUT

If I keep my 2-instance initial setup with:

com.mycompany.siriustest.model
com.mycompany.siriustest.model.edit
com.mycompany.siriustest.model.editor
com.mycompany.siriustest.design.service

com.mycompany.siriustest.design

com.mycompany.siriustest.sample

THEN I can use Java Service in labels, with syntax service: (the second one does not work). And the completion works fine too. I just have to restart the second instance once I modify the implementation of my Java Service, which seems normal.

The only remaining problem with this setup is the following: Java Services do not seem to work in pre-conditions, for example in a <TreeItemCreationTool>. My method (whose return type is a boolean), is never invoked and the corresponding creation tool appears in the context menu whatever the case. Nevertheless the method, with the right signature, appears as a suggestion completion in the "precondition" field of the Sirius editor.

Is there a limitation with preconditions, or did I do something wrong with my precondition method ?

Its signature is:

public boolean canCreateSiblingInContainer(EObject self, EClass container);

and the syntax of my precondition is:

service:canCreateSiblingInContainer(container)

Hi Frédéric,

I think that your second solution with only 2 Eclipse instances work
because you have your java service in the first one while it was not the
case with the first proposed solution.

After about your issue on precondition evaluation with java service
call, I'm not aware of this kind of issue and this should works. Could
you raise a bugzilla about this issue with a test case and a scenario?

Best Regards.

Sorry, I made a mistake in my precondition by using a literal, which is not supported as explained in your documentation. There is no bug there.

Nevertheless, I don't understand why the service:operation / service:operation() syntax works, but not the [self.operation() /] one. My modeling .sample project is opened in an Eclipse instance where my Java Service has been deployed (in the .design project).

Hi Frédéric,

[self.operation() /] should work as service:operation /
service:operation() , do you have added
"org.eclipse.sirius.common.acceleo.mtl" plugin as dependency of you
plugin where you have you odesign and java service?

Best Regards.

Hi!

I can't understand the purpose of the second Eclipse instance.

It seems that everithing except Acceleo interpreter works in the one Eclipse instance.

The only thing that doesn't work is Acceleo interpreter:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1066702/
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/781784/

But I don't understand why it needs a second intstance.
I've deployed the sample metamodel as Eclipse plugin:

org.eclipse.sirius.sample.basicfamily_1.0.0.201508241127.jar
org.eclipse.sirius.sample.basicfamily.edit_1.0.0.201508241127.jar
org.eclipse.sirius.sample.basicfamily.editor_1.0.0.201508241127.jar

After that I run the first Eclipse instance with two projects

org.eclipse.sirius.sample.basicfamily.design
basicfamily.sample

Acceleo interpreter doesn't work.

But! When I run first Eclipse instance with empty workspace, and after that I run second Eclipse instance from the first one with the same projects, Acceleo interpreter works!!! What is the purpose of that intermediate Eclipse instance with empty workspace?

Hi Denis,

Can you try using the latest release of Sirius, i.e. 3.0 [1] and using
service interpreter instead of Acceleo 3 ?

Hi

It works in both scenarios: with single Eclipse instance and with two instances!

1) I started single Eclipse instance.
2) After that I've added two projects into workspace "org.eclipse.sirius.sample.basicfamily.design" and "basicfamily.sample".
3) I've added Java Extension into basicfamily.odesign with class "org.eclipse.sirius.sample.basicfamily.services.FamilyServices".
4) And set label of the ManNode to "service:getMembersWithoutMother".

And it works! It shows list of persons.

Is it possible to let Acceleo interpreter work in a single Eclipse instance? I think it will simplify a development process.

UPDATE: Sorry for flood. Acceleo interpreter works now in a single Eclipse instance too. I don't understand what was changed in my Eclipse settings or projects, but it works.

Hi,

From Sirius 3.0, there is the new AQL interpreter [1] and the existing
service interpreter [2] has been improved. With this 3.0 release, with
your metamodel plugins deployed you can have java service in workspace
called from the VSM in this same workspace. Then only 2 Eclipse
instances are needed, a first one for your metamodel plugins and a
second one for your viewpoint specification project and your modeling
projet to test your modeler.

Hi

Thanks! That's really cool! I think in most cases ocl will be enough for me.
