[QVTO] Accessing Java class members from transformations [message #727437]

Hi there,

I'm just wondering if it is possible to access attributes or even methods of arbitrary Java classes from within a transformation.

To be specific, I want to read some static String values that are needed for some model class attributes. I intend to avoid holding redundant information in the java and in the qvt world.

Any ideas?

Hi

Provide helper functions to provide access to the 'shared' data.

Regards

I managed to build a seperate plugin with a Java class serving as a kind of library (org.eclipse.m2m.qvt.oml.javaBlackboxUnits extension point). However, when using the import statement in a qvto transformation file I cannot "run" this file (that is the transformation) via a run configuration. When I try to run it, it breaks up immediately without any error, trace file or other output. Running the transformation programmatically via java works just fine. Could this be a bug in the QVTO interpreter?

Hi Jan

Almost certainly a bg.

Have you looked in the Window->Show View->Error Log where many of the
more embarrassing error messages appear.

I did, but there is no error. I also tried the following:

1. Starting my transformation plugin (not the lib) via run->eclipse application
2. Writing a very simple transformation that imports the lib but does not its operations
3. Running the transformation via run->transformation bla (Don't use the plugin at all though)

That worked. Thus, it might be that my development workspace is somehow screwed up but without errors it's hard to tell.
