Hi,
I am trying to write some basic componentType
introspector in order to understand the framework better but I am afraid that
I’ll need some help.
Basically I am trying to produce a component type
abstraction of an eclipse project (in a similar fashion as the properties
example used for the unit tests and documentation)
So far I defined the extension point targeting
“.project” files and wrote a mock implementation of the
introspection interface and I have been trying to use the
“implementation.java” type (so I didn’t have to extend the
SCA model). I then tried to write a simple view to scan the current workspace
and list all the projects under their component type abstraction produce by the
introspector.
At this stage my immediate problem is that I cannot
find a way to use the introspector framework to actually find “SCA
enable” services implementation, instead the public hook to the
introspector extension point (IModelIntrospectionManager)
seems to require the service implementations to be already imported in an
assembly before introspectors can go through them and extract the relevant
info.
The properties example in the unit tests seems to
confirm that approach.
I tried to feed an UnknownImplementation to
IModelIntrospectionManager, since
the doc states that it doesn’t require to be nested in a full fledge
component, but it didn’t work (assert failure, line 93 of ModelIntrospectionManager).
So is it possible to run the introspector against a
resource that isn’t pulled in an assembly yet and for which we do not
know what type of implementation it is or even if it is a supported service
implementation?
I also ran into trouble when I tried to extend the
SCA model to add a new implementation type. I had a look at the properties
example but the ecore files in CVS reference some IBM resources that
haven’t been committed. That aside, would it be possible to get a quick
doc explaining what need to be extended in order to introduce a new
implementation type to the model?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
d.
