How to extract out the ecore model file during sculptor workflow

[Darth]

I want to look at the ecore file that is created (is it? in memory object?) as a result of an intermediate step after dsl transformation happens. Is it possible to see the intermediate model file? The file thats used as input to the generator before it generates code...

Thanks.

You could use the org.eclipse.mwe.emf.Writer or XmiWriter workflow
component to serialize it. Therefore you have to modify the oaw workflow
and include this component. Search for these classes on
openarchitectureware.org for configuration examples.

Can you post an example after you figure this out?  I am not that familiar with EMF, so I didn't realize that there's an intermediate model.  I think it would help me debug and understand things better though.

Thanks!

Add this component to your .oaw workflow:

<component class="org.openarchitectureware.emf.XmiWriter">
   <inputSlot value="SLOTNAME"/>
   <modelFile value="OUTPUTFILENAME"/>
</component>

I don't know the slot name your model is parsed into, it can be read
from the workflow that reads your model since the parser will place a
model in some slot name. So figure it out from there. You must have a
dependency to org.openarchitectureware.emftools, if not already existent.

Hi Darth,

Another answer to your question is to look into the Sculptor source base. There are two meta models: one for the business tier and one for the GUI. I have attached them both to this post.

sculptormetamodel.ecore
sculptorguimetamodel.ecore

Have fun,

Jan

I was sniffing around oaw's forums to see how to do it and what you mention above is same as what they mentioned in these threads

http://www.openarchitectureware.org/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=2&showtopic=2469
http://www.openarchitectureware.org/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=2&showtopic=8997

    <component class="org.openarchitectureware.emf.XmiWriter">
            <modelFile value="out.xmi" />
            <inputSlot value="model"/>
      </component>


in either case it did not work for me and resulted in a SAXParseException.
I might have put something wrong in, but I tried putting the inputSlot value to be model, dslModel, transformedModel and all resulted in the same error.

This is ofcourse when you are interested in the meta model (which I assumed because you speak of the ecore model).

When you are intrested to see the specific instance, i.e. the transformation result of your .design file you have to go for the XMIWriter approach.
