Hi everybody, I created a few MSE files from JRuby releases using iPlasma 6.1 However, when I try to import them in Moose (I am using Visualworks 7.6nc at the moment), on the most recent releases I get the following exception: "Unhandled exception: Unknown character". The first releases are correctly imported in Moose. If you want to help me with this problem, you find an example of a problematic MSE here : http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/bacchelli/research/20080720_jruby-1.1.3.mse and an example of a not-problematic MSE here : http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/bacchelli/research/20060802_jruby-0.9.0.mse Thank you, Alberto

Yes, I tried. The problematic character seems to be " [ ". I searched for it both in the correctly-imported MSE files and in the not-correctly-imported ones. In the latter case, I see that there are many fields like this: (name '[]') which are not present in the correctly-imported MSE files.

Carriage return shouldn't be a problem since some MSE files are correctly imported.

I have only one iPlasma version (the one that is available here: http://loose.upt.ro/iplasma/download.html) are there more? Where can I find them?

In addition, I saw that in the not-correctly-imported file, there are annotations like this: (FAMIX.AnnotationInstance (id: 136544) (name 'JRubyClass') (belongsTo (idref: 794)) (name 'Module') ) or: (FAMIX.AnnotationInstance (id: 121052) (name 'JRubyMethod') (belongsTo (idref: 121050)) (name '[]') ) isn't it strange that those AnnotationIntances have more than one name? If you want to have a look at the source code that was used by iPlasma to generate the not-correctly-imported MSE file, you can find it here: http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/bacchelli/research/20080720_jruby-src-1.1.3.tar… Thank you again, Alberto 2009/7/1 Alberto Bacchelli <alberto.bacchelli(a)usi.ch>

Hi everybody, I investigated in more detail the issue of the annotation, and maybe I found the problem. I searched in the JRuby sources for the text 'JRubyMethod' and I found it used as an annotation many times. Here is an example (from the class: org.jruby.RubyZlib): @JRubyMethod(name = "zlib_version", module = true, visibility = Visibility.PRIVATE) public static IRubyObject zlib_version(IRubyObject recv) { return ((RubyModule)recv).fastGetConstant("ZLIB_VERSION"); } So, I supposed that probably somewhere (maybe in iPlasma, maybe in Moose) such complex annotations weren't correctly managed. For this reason, I parsed the not-correctly-imported MSE file, and removed all the FAMIX.AnnotationInstance. After this operation, the resulting MSE file can be easily imported into Moose. At this point, the next step should be finding the component which is not correctly handling those annotations. As I am not expert of Moose and iPlasma, I don't think I can help a lot more than this bug-report. In addition, for my needs I can just remove the FAMIX.AnnotationInstances. However the script I created is not fast at all... can I use the MSEParser to remove FAMIX.AnnotationInstance? Are there examples for such a thing? Thank you, Alberto 2009/7/1 Alberto Bacchelli <alberto.bacchelli(a)usi.ch>

Directly editing the .mse files is the best way to make it compliant. If you do not like FAMIX.AnnotationInstance, then directly cutting these definition from the file helps. Cheers, Alexandre

Hi, Thanks for reporting. It looks like a problem in the iPlasma parser. Could you provide me with the java file that causes the problem? Like this I can pass it forward for debugging. Cheers, Doru On 2 Jul 2009, at 12:16, Alberto Bacchelli wrote:

Sure! Here you can find the file: http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/bacchelli/research/RubyZlib.java This file is only one example, but other similar files generate the same error.

Hi Alberto, I tried to reproduce the problem with the new inFusion, but I could not reproduce the problem. Could you try again following: http://moose.unibe.ch/docs/faq/importJavaWithiPlasma Cheers, Doru On 7 Jul 2009, at 17:49, Alberto Bacchelli wrote:

Hi Doru, I (successfully) tried to reproduce the problem again: - I used the sources that you can find in http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/bacchelli/research/iPlasma/20080720_jruby-src-1… - I followed the steps in http://moose.unibe.ch/docs/faq/importJavaWithiPlasma - I exported the mse file, which you can also find in http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/bacchelli/research/iPlasma/jruby-1.1.3.mse - I tried to import it in Moose, in VisualWorks 7.6nc The problem is still there: "Unhandled exception: Unknown character". If you look at my previous mails, you can see how I tried to spot the cause of this exception. At the end, I noticed that: It seems that iPlasma generates a mse file that it considers valid, however Moose on VW 7.6nc does not agree :) This issue is probably caused by annotation (in the java sense).

No problem Tudor! So.. I tried to parse the system using inFusion. It seems that it generates "more correct" a mse file, but still not perfect: I followed the instructions and generated the mse file [ http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/bacchelli/research/iPlasma/<http://www.inf.u… ]. When I try to import it in VW based Moose: - it correctly does the first pass ( "Reading 17 MB from input stream..." ) [and this was the part that raised the exception using the mse file generated by iPlasma] - it correctly does also the second one ( "Importing 105029 elements..." ) - it raises an exception during the third pass ( "Importing attributes and assocations..." ): "Unhandled exception: CodeFoo.AssertionFailure" looking at the calls before the exception, you can see a message "mmSetAll:collection:" sent to a "SCG.Moose.FAMIXAnnotationInstance" object. So, probably, the annotations are still problematic. Thanks for your help! Alberto 2009/7/22 Tudor Girba <girba(a)iam.unibe.ch>
