#4 — Poseidon 4.0 support missing

FWIW: Same problem here.

In the XMI output of Poseidon 4.0 I've substituted globally, with a text editor
  UML2:TypedElement
with
  UML:StructuralFeature
in order to recover the syntax of the XMI of Poseidon 3.x
It sems to work!

Thanks, that workaround worked for me too!

I did it the other way around: in XMIParser.py substitute " UML:StructuralFeature " with "UML2:TypedElement"; seems to be working and is more convenient when you generate frequently...
^^Thanks for the hint.

Sorry, but I to report that this fix does not resolve the problems here when using .zuml files from Poseidon 4.0. I still get only string fields instead of int/float/...

I added the patch to XMIParser.py and the fields are now generated properly but...

I have a problem that 4.0 put the tagged values in the model OUTSIDE of the widget. This means that I have to hand edit the schema to get e.g. the labels and descriptions to appear. Is this a user error or soemthing in Poseidon 4.0?

Reinout,
This is weird! When I did a replace on the UMLType with the UML2Type that seems to work.
What happened in 3.2 now seems also to be the case in 4.0 (patched): Whe I have tagged values such as 'label' and 'description' in order for them to be rendered with the widget they need to be inside the widget declaration like

  StringField('logURLdescription',
       widget=StringWidget(
           label='URL',
           description="Lien à la déscription longue de editeur",
           label_msgid='epfLogiciel_label_logURLdescription',
           description_msgid='epfLogiciel_help_logURLdescription',
           i18n_domain='epfLogiciel',
       ),
   ),

What AGX is spitting out is:

   StringField('logURLdescription',
       widget=StringWidget(
           label='logURLdescription',
           description="Lien à la déscription longue de editeur",
           label_msgid='epfLogiciel_label_logURLdescription',
           description_msgid='epfLogiciel_help_logURLdescription',
           i18n_domain='epfLogiciel',
       ),
       description="Lien à la déscription longue de editeur",
       label="URL"
   ),

Which renders the ugly internal field name as the widget label and drops the description.

Also you are right about going backwards in Poseidon - it doesn't work. I had to redo the design from scratch 8^(-

I am cross posting this onto http://plone.org/products/archgenxml/issues/4

  Rienhout,

I noticed that you posted a workaround to the "string only" ouptut for Poseidon 4.0. Due to that problem I went back to 3.2 and found that 3.2 has problems as well in my configuarion. Can you tell me where to download the 4.0 patch?
 

My patch didn't work. There's a workaround (by hand => nasty) published on http://plone.org/products/archgenxml/issues/4 .

What kind of problems do you have with 3.2? (Using a model from a newer poseidon version in an older one is often a problem, btw).

Sorry for last post found the problem ...

just a little to quick in writing my tagged values!

.. As I'm here .. if someone could fix the comment order on this page (possibly sort by date) and even the ability to register and/or log in to the site , that would be great .. :)

Lack of order in these responses is a little worrying (!)

Now works great here with changes from SVN as of today. Thanks a lot zworkb!
