Hi Sergey,

Thank you very much for your helpful example. So it is also quite convenient to save/load QVTo AST with full composition. I have been able to obtain the QVTo ASTs of tt1.qvto and tt4.qvto with full composition.

@ Ed Willink: I found out the reason why the QVTo AST I serialized before (qvtoAST.xmi) was not correct. It caused by the error -  Failed to resolve metamodel 'file:///C:/temp/BOOK.ecore'.

I tried several ways to config the metamodel, i.e.:
modeltype BOOKS uses 'file:///C:/temp/BOOKS.ecore';

But it does not works. Could someone tell me what is wrong? 
 
The reason is that we allowed only .ecore model URI in metamodel definition.
Usually it's "Ns URI" property of the model root package or package.uri element of the 'org.eclipse.emf.ecore.generated_package' extension point.
 
In Eclipse workspace you can map arbitrary .ecore to some URI via "Project Properties/QVT Settings/Metamodel Mappings".
Programmatically such arbitrary model can be specified using optional second parameter (of EPackage.Registry type) in InternalTransformationExecutor constructor.
 

Anyway, it is possible to serialize the QVTo AST. So, it is possible to extract metrics from QVTo model transformations to enable their quality measurement. We have got good results for ATL and Xtend. Hope that we can make it for QVTo soon. Thanks again for your kind helps.

Best regards,
Phu

Hi Phu,
 
I've posted sample _javascript_ that shows how to save/load compiled qvto transformation (QVTo AST) with full information obtained from .qvto file (even token positions as well).

Hello Ed Willink,

Thank you. Now I know that it is not easy to obtain a QVTo AST with full composition. You are right about my problem. The serialized AST I got seems to be the wrong one. Please find the QVTo file and the corresponding xmi file in the attachments

Is there any suggestion about obtaining a QVTo AST with full composition?


Best regards,
Phu

Hi Phu

If you have a true QVTo AST then it should compose/share all the information you require.
When you invoke Resource.save to serialize, what is the URI in the XMI?

QVT 1.0 enabled at least three different interpreations of some AST definitions and in some cases all three were wrong with the result that not all child objects were composed and so those elements were omitted from a serialized AST. Perhaps your problem is that you do not have a QVTo AST with full composition.

Please post the XMI file resulting from Resource.save.

Hello,

First I would like to thank for suggestions from Ed Willink and Sergey.

I tried several ways and I have found out that it is possible to obtain AST of corresponding QVTo file by using the InternalTransformationExecutor:

InternalTransformationExecutor executor = new InternalTransformationExecutor(transformationURI);
CompiledUnit myCompiled = executor.getUnit();
OperationalTransformation trans = executor.getTransformation();
Resource res = trans.eResource();
EObject qvtoModule = res.getContents().get(0);

Via the OperationalTransformation object, generated AST can be accessed and it certainly conforms to the metamodels QVTOperational.ecore and ImperativeOCL.ecore

For now it is possible to extract some information from the AST, i.e. names of modeltype, transformation, name of mapping operations. However I have not found out the way to access other parts, i.e. bodies of mapping operation. Are there any suggestions?

Last but not least, it would be much better to access the AST if there is a way to serialize it. The ATL tool kit allows obtaining the file of  ATL model (generated AST) quite easily. I was wondering if QVTO tool kit has a similar function?

If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you very much!


Best regards,
Phu

Hi Phu,
 
QVTo engine is able to be launched outside Eclipse.
 
Inside Eclipse you can obtain AST of corresponding .qvto by means of EMF Resource, i.e. some like follows:
  URI uri = URI.createURI("file:/.../my.qvto");
  Resource res = new ResourceSetImpl().createResource(uri);
  EObject qvtoModule = res.getContents().get(0);
 
Generated AST is conformed to org.eclipse.m2m.qvt.oml/model/QVTOperational.ecore (for QVTOperational package) and org.eclipse.m2m.qvt.oml.ecore.imperativeocl/ImperativeOCL.ecore (for ImperativeOCL package). In fact that models have some (very minor) deviations from official OMG QVTO metamodels.
 
 
Regards,
  Sergey
