I am using Sparx EA to generate java code but I am bit strugling when I have an associaton between classes. Code gets generated in a format m_$LinkClass which means m_targetClass even though the association has name which I would like to use.
Thanks for advice
Target role of association needs to be specified. Then it works :-)

I'm trying to create a custom annotation processor that generates code at compilation time (as hibernate-jpamodelgen does). I've looked in the web, and I find custom annotation processors that works with maven, but do nothing when added to the Annotation Processing > Factory Path option. How could I create a processor compatible in this way? I have not found a tutorial that works.
My idea is to, for example, annotate an entity to generate automatically a base DTO, a base mapper, etc that can be extended to use in the final code.
Thank you all
OK, Already found out the problem. The tutorial I hda found out dint't specified that, in order to the compiler to be able to apply the annotation processor, there must be a META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor file that contains the qualified class name of the processor (or processors).
I created the file pointing to my processor class, generated the jar and added it to Annotation Processing > Factory Path and all worked correctly.
Just be careful to keep the order of the processors correctly (for example, hibernate model generator claims the classes, so no more generation will be made after it), and change the jar file name each time you want to replace the library (it seems eclipse keeps a cache). These two things have given me a good headache.
Thanks all
i have to change the diagram type of a lot of diagrams within my Enterprise Architect model. The change can be made manually using following option (that works as expected):
Select diagram - Diagram - Advanced - Change Type...
As I have to change a lot of diagrams I have created a script which searches for all concerned diagrams and change the type automatically. I wrote already a lot of JScript EA scripts for changing some modeling elements. Unfortunately, this feature seems not be available over the scripting interface.
I have to change the "MetaType" of the the diagram object. But this is read-only (see http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12/automation_and_scripting/diagram2.html). Therefore, I got an error.
var currentDiagram as EA.Diagram
currentDiagram = theDiagram
currentDiagram.MetaType = MY_DIAGRAM_METATYPE // ERROR
In the next step I searched for appropriate functionalities in the Repository interface (http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12/automation_and_scripting/repository3.html) and in the project interface. But I found nothing appropiate.
I am using Enterprise Architect 12.0.1215 and I used JScript.
Has anyone already tried this by script?
Have I missed something?
Is there another approach to achieve the diagram type change by script?
Thanks in advance!
You have to do that in two steps (if you change to different MDG diagram types). E.g. to change a Class diagram to a BPMN2.0::BPEL you first change Diagram_Type from Logical to Analysis. Additionally you need to add MDGDgm=BPMN2.0::BPEL; to StyleEx. In case your old diagram is from another MDG you need to modify the existing MDGDgm attribute in StyleEx.
As Uffe noted, the diagram type in the API is r/o. So if you need to change that you would need to do something like
Repository.Execute("UPDATE t_diagram SET Diagram_Type='Analysis' WHERE Diagram_ID=<theId>")
where <theId> would be the correct diagram ID.
I created an ecore-Metamodel, a genmodel and a corresponding model.
Now I want to generate Code from this.
I found this post and wanted to implement it. I get no errors and so on, but how do I bring the CodeGenerator to generate the wanted output in a File like 'test.txt' (taken that example from the referenced question)?
Do I require a workflow file (mwe2) or do I miss something?
I only needed to run the application as Java and the code worked. I don't need any workflow or mwe2!
But appearently I still cant create the files like I can with a Generator.
I just can use a simple filewriter.
As my database was designed using german table- and column names, the default pluralisation feature of entity framework doesn't work for me.
I have found a couple of resources where this is discussed, but none of them seem to work.
What i have found:
There is the PluralisationService where i can add the mappings:
PluralizationService pluralizer =
PluralizationService.CreateService(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-us"));
ICustomPluralizationMapping mapping = ps as ICustomPluralizationMapping;
mapping.AddWord("Tabelle", "Tabellen");
But what's next?
I have tried to:
EntityModelSchemaGenerator generator = new EntityModelSchemaGenerator(container);
generator.PluralizationService = pluralizer;
generator.GenerateMetadata();
and put both of them in my POCO T4 Template. But it throwed the following exception:
The EntityContainer 'ContainerName' is not a store EntityContainer. Parameter name: storeEntityContainer
at System.Data.Entity.Design.EntityModelSchemaGenerator.Initialize(...)
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating...GeneratedTextTransformation.TransformText()
To completely customize the table names in EF Code First, you can use the Table attribute to explicitly specify the name of the table associated with a class:
[Table("InternalBlogs")]
public class Blog
{
//...
}
I'm also looking for the same thing. Maybe this can help. I'm just not willing to pay for such a basic feature.
EDIT:
The code you posted is to be used with EdmGen2 wich will give you CSDL, SSDL or MSL files pluralized according to your class.
A very old question, but if someone is still looking for a possible workflow/solution:
I had a similar problem where I wanted to customize the schema import (CSDL) from the database. The solution / workflow was as follows:
Deployed the database schema (I used Visual Studio Database Project VS 201x) to a
local database
Imported the database model using EDMGEN to create the CSDL, SSDL and MSDL files
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb387165(v=vs.110).aspx
Modified EDMGEN2 with my changes on how to handle pluralization and naming with custom rules and created EDMX file
Ran the T4 templates (with additional customization as needed) to create
output.
I'm trying to run codeanalysis on an assembly that contains an entity model (edmx file). In project properties I have checked the "Suppress results from generated code" option, but I am still getting a lot of CA errors pertaining to the auto-generated EF code.
Has anyone experienced this? And is there a work-around?
Just put the attribute on your class definition.
But how to do it, since your file can get overridden any time. Use a separate file, since all generated classes are partial classes. Open a separate file, and write something like:
[GeneratedCode("EntityModelCodeGenerator", "4.0.0.0")]
public partial class YourEntitiesContextName : ObjectContext
{
}
This will skip code analysis on your particular generated class. StyleCop for instance is more smart and doesn't touch files that have .designer/.generated part in their name or regions that have generated word in their name.
Well, "Suppress results from generated code" really means "Don't look at types with GeneratedCodeAttribute". EF's code generator hasn't added this, historically (though I've suggested it to the team). But you can add it if you use custom T4.
