NullPointerException when generating code about emf-rest HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi Reinhold-

Thanks for your report. I acknowledge the problem as I could reproduce it.

We will work to fix this, I'll let you know asap.

Hi again,

the problem is in the documentation. It is said that you have to create a folder called model and it should be models. I will change now the documentation.

Please, try to change the name of the folder and then do the generation. Let us know if it works.

In any case, we will change this requirement for future versions.

Thanks again for playing with the tool.

Just to be clear, the problem is that the code generator needs a models folder in the WebContent folder of the Web Dynamic project. It does not matter where you put the ecore file, but the WebContent/models folder must be created.

I hope this clarifies the problem.

With the updated installation documentation I was able to get the code generation running for your example model. Thanks for that Javier!

Maybe you should also clarify in the documentation that a model instance (e.g. the Simpsons.xmi file) should be placed into the WebContent/models/ folder in order to test the REST service:

"By default the generated code will search for your data (i.e., the instances of the classes in the model) in the WebContent/models folder. So you have to create the folder 'models' in the WebContent folder and copy your model instance files (.xmi files) into it. .."

As next step I will try to generate code for our fairly more complex model (~150 classes).

Ok, I've changed the documentation to include the example ecore and xmi files.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you find any other problem.

Thanks!
