Hi Chad,
here are what I've done:
1. Update to Poseidon 2.4.1 Community Edition. Now I can import the XMI file from MagicDraw also in the XMI version 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0 (it seems without problem) into Poseidon.
I checked many things and it seems that the model is just the same as from MagicDraw.
2. Add the HibernateFinderMethodFacade in the HibernateMetafacadeModel.
3. Compile the model.
4. Compile the Hibernate cartridge and voila no error!!! ;-)
I took a glance to the created source files, it seems that they are equal to the generated source from MagicDraw... Great!
Now my questions ;-)
Since Poseidon does not support a "link" to other model, it is impossible to do the same as in MagicDraw (just linking to the UMLMetafacade). And because Poseidon Community does not support "import" files, it is also impossible to update the whole UMLMetafacade in case that you and AndroMDA team update those models.
What will the best way to go? (to build my own cartridge in Poseidon): - Does it necessary to have all those UMLMetafacade? Let's take the Hibernate cartridge as an example: Here is the generalization structure:
HibernateFinderMethodFacade -> EntityFinderMethodFacade -> OperationFacade -> ModelElementFacade
Is it enough to have these 4 clases in my Hibernate cartridge to let those clasess generated? Does the meta cartridge also read the associations between them, or only the generalization?
If this is enough, maybe it is good just to have the *needed* classes in the Poseidon file, so in case that you change the UMLMetafacadeModel, it is not a lot of work to update the model...
Yes, this is not easy. :-( It's really pitty that Poseidon Community Edition does not support import files... Would be pretty easy if I can import the new UMLMetafacadeModel.xmi into my Poseidon file and just overwrite those classes...
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot! -- --------------------------------------------------- Blasius Lofi Dewanto --------------------------------------------------- OpenUSS - Open University Support System http://openuss.sourceforge.net --------------------------------------------------- E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 39343280 ---------------------------------------------------
