Use Language:TGraphs with Technology:JGraLab in Language:Java for Model to Model transformations

Motivation

Model to Model transformations with TGraphs are excercised in this implementation. The Cut feature shows an endogenous model transformation, the Total feature is an example for an exogenous model transformation. TGraphs are typed, attributed, ordered, and directed graphs. TGraphs can be maintained in a repository and programmatically processed. One can clearly use TGraphs to represent companies. In fact, a TGraphs schema defines the structure of companies. One can then use supplementary languages and technologies to query and transform such graphs so that typical operations on companies are implemented. In particular, Technology:JGraLab supports Java-class generation from a TGraphs schema, and query evaluation with Language:GReQL on TGraphs. Transformations can be performed with Language:GReTL or plain Java based on the schema-derived API.

Architecture

The file 101companies-schema.xmi is the schema TGraph that represents the data structure for companies. This file was exported from the IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA) tool and is based on a simple UML class diagram. The file 101companies-schema.pdf illustrates the UML class diagram that was modeled to represent the schema. The file 101companies-schema.emx is the original IBM RSA model file. Once generated, the file 101companies-schema.tg

The jgralab.jar contains the core technology for creating and operating on TGraphs. It also contains the facilities for using GReQL. The gretl.jar contains GReTL for modifying TGraphs.

Package src.de.uni koblenz.oneoonecompanies contains a programmer-defined class CompanyServices that provides an API for several operations on TGraphs. Packages src.de.uni koblenz.oneoonecompanies.schema and ...schema.impl.std contain schema-derived interfaces and classes for companies.

Usage

  • The implementation is provided as an Eclipse project.
  • Run build.xml with ant to generate schema-derived classes and interfaces.
  • There are tests in package ...tests.
    • Run JUnit test Serialization to exercise serialization.
    • Run JUnit test Operations to exercise the basic operations.
    • Run main method of Visualization to visualize the company graph.
Please note: Upon initial checkout and whenever the TGraphs schema 101companies-schema.xmi is changed, then code generation must be re-executed. To this end, run ant on the included build.xml file from the command line or from within Eclipse. This process re-generates all types in the packages ...schema and ...schema.impl.std. These packages provide the API for CompanyServices.
