Exercise 2

The main task of this exercise is to convert selective transition elements (of the flowchart model) into P tags (in HTML).

Input Model

Source model representing the flowchart instance (in XMI format) conforming to the flowchart domain is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<flowchart:Flowchart xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:flowchart="flowchart" xmi:id="_9mLMwDY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" name="Wakeup">

  <nodes xsi:type="flowchart:Action" xmi:id="_9mLMwzY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" name="Sleep" outgoing="_9mLMyDY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" incoming="_9mLMxzY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q"/>
  <nodes xsi:type="flowchart:Action" xmi:id="_9mLMxDY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" name="Get up" incoming="_9mLz0DY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q"/>
  <nodes xsi:type="flowchart:Action" xmi:id="_9mLMxTY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" name="begin" outgoing="_9mLz0TY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q"/>
  <transitions xmi:id="_9mLMxjY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" name="" source="_9mLMwTY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" target="_9mLMwjY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q"/>
  <transitions xmi:id="_9mLMxzY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" name="Yes" source="_9mLMwjY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" target="_9mLMwzY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q"/>
  <transitions xmi:id="_9mLMyDY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" name="Some Time Passes" source="_9mLMwzY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" target="_9mLMwTY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q"/>
  <transitions xmi:id="_9mLz0DY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" name="No" source="_9mLMwjY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" target="_9mLMxDY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q"/>
  <transitions xmi:id="_9mLz0TY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" name="start" source="_9mLMxTY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q" target="_9mLMwTY6EeOwt8pm-kjW_Q"/>
</flowchart:Flowchart>

Expected Output Model

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns="HTML">
  <P value="Node: Is it really too early? --> Transition: Yes"/>
  <P value="Node: Is it really too early? --> Transition: No"/>
</xmi:XMI>

Task

You must create a filter block that checks if the name of the source node of the transition object ‘t’ is “Is it really too early?”. Only those transitions that pass this check are filtered through to be generated as output elements in the target model.

Base Transformation

Transformation class containing the MT definition. All rules are defined in the ruleStore().

package flowchartToHtmlExamples
import static yamtl.dsl.Rule.*
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EPackage
import yamtl.core.YAMTLModule
import yamtl.groovy.YAMTLGroovyExtensions
import yamtl.groovy.YAMTLGroovyExtensions_dynamicEMF

class Example2 extends YAMTLModule {
    public Example2(EPackage flowchartPk, EPackage htmlPk) {
        YAMTLGroovyExtensions_dynamicEMF.init(this)

        header().in("in", flowchartPk).out("out", htmlPk)

        ruleStore([
            //TODO: Update the rule with a .filter{} block
            rule('SelectedTransitions2Text')
                .in("t", flowchartPk.Transition)
                .out("p", htmlPk.P, {
                    p.value = "Node: ${t.source.name} --> Transition: ${t.name}".toString()
                })
        ])

    }
}
