UML support for JHipster

Welcome to JHipster UML!

Please note that this project is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore.

Instead, we suggest you use the JDL export feature of this project to export your XMI files to a JDL file that you can use and make models of your entities with JDL Studio.

To learn more about the JDL, head here.

---

Please read our guidelines before submitting an issue. If your issue is a bug, please use the bug template pre-populated here.

This project's main goal is to bring support of UML (more precisely, XMI) files (from various editors) to JHipster so that it can read the files, without you answering the questions.

You'll be able to create your entities by supplying a UML file (made with your favorite editor, if it supports XMI) to JHipster, and we'll take care of creating your entities for you!

We support: Modelio, UML Designer and GenMyModel. Moreover, we can convert your XMI file to a JDL one, so that you can use it with JDL Studio!

Sparx EA UML models can also be converted to JDL thanks to the awesome work available here made by Guillaume Finance.

For more information, visit our Wiki page in JHipster's wiki.

jhipster-uml's Issues

The DSL parser is not returning a valid object

Method DSLParser.prototype.parse = function()

Doesn't has a return value, also I noticed that the constructor is not calling

AbstractParser.call(this, root, databaseTypes);

When using this parser the entitycreator fails when trying to call

this.parsedData.getClass(classId)

due getClass is not part of the object

Using VP, tried minlength on Integer with error

The validation 'minlength' isn't supported for the type 'Integer', exiting now.

Global install failure

Hi ,

I tried installing jhipster-uml :

$ npm install -g jhipster-uml  

in windows / linux (ubuntu) , it fails with this log output :

Option to choose 'otherEntityField' and 'pagination'

Since last version where it only changes the models that we have changed in the XML everything is working very nice. But constantly I have to go to the json file to change the 'otherEntityField' name from id to something else and to add pagination. Once I do that, jhipster-uml detects that this json has been changed and any other change in the other entities make this one to be updated too. Can we have the option to set otherEntityField and pagination. Apparently it is the only thing missing now.

Add float/double support

See jhipster/generator-jhipster@1956133.

Add option to export DTOs

Per http://jhipster.github.io/using_dtos.html, DTO's, especially for complex cases can be generated, these would be nice to have created during this process.

After model relationchip updates

HI.

Would be nice if you will be able enhance model regeneration. If I add additional relations between entities model is updated or overwrite, but order of entities in liquibase is not changed so database initialization failed. Just reorder this based on new model relationships.
thanks.

TypeError: Object.keys called on non-object

Trying to generate paginated objects off a Visual Paradigm UML. Getting the error TypeError: Object.keys called on non-object.

GenMyModel issue

GenMyModel uses the XSI namespace, and every element type is not 'xmi:type' but 'xsi:type'.
The parser needs to be updated to include this case, or we should drop JHipster-UML's GMM support.

GenMyModel custom types are problematic

They are defined by adding 'xsi:type="uml:DataType"' attributes to the usual PackagedElement tags.

Not supporting this results in JHipster-UML generating malformed JSON files, and JHipster throwing some nasty errors.

Once it generate the entity, it not get the regular expression in body from the constraint pattern - using Modelio

Add blob support from JHipster.

Work to be done:

• Add blob (byte[]);
• Find a way to specify its content (an image or any binary) for fieldTypeBlobContent;
• Add validations (required, minbytes and maxbytes);
• Add the mention fieldsContainBlob;
• Add the two mentions of the validations (fieldValidateRulesMinbytes and fieldValidateRulesMaxbytes).

That should be everything to add (not to mention the wiki).

One way relationship problem

Hi All.
I've designed model that contains many One-way relationships. I tried to generate from XMI jhipter files but I got error:
Found the .jhipster/PersonalDetails.json configuration file, automatically generating the entity
The entity PersonalDetails is being created.
WARNING otherEntityRelationshipName is missing in .jhipster/PersonalDetails.json for relationship with id 2, using personalDetails as fallback
ERROR otherEntityField is missing in .jhipster/PersonalDetails.json for relationship with id 2

Found the .jhipster/Attendee.json configuration file, automatically generating the entity
The entity Attendee is being created.
WARNING otherEntityRelationshipName is missing in .jhipster/Attendee.json for relationship with id 1, using attendee as fallback
ERROR otherEntityField is missing in .jhipster/Attendee.json for relationship with id 1

This is part of my model: https://api.genmymodel.com/projects/_5tUAkDooEeWMccEXBUwABA/diagrams/_5tV1wzooEeWMccEXBUwABA/jpeg

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or jhipster doesn't support this kind of relationship.

Oh, and I'm using jhipster v2.19.0 installed from npm, and latest snapshot of jhipster-uml from github.

the jhipster-uml does not call the entity subgenerator

Hi, I try to run my xmi model after to update the jhipster-uml but when i run i get this

blank spaces..

the generator create the json file for all the entities in the .jhipster folder but does not call the subgenerator for the entities

Thanks in advance

Clean VisualParadigm XMI files

Cleaning them would:

• make the tests run quicklier;
• make the XMI files more readable.

Optionally, make a tool to clean them before JHipster-UML parses them.

"required" in Relationship in JDL file

Currently we don't have one way to set one relationship required.

relationship ManyToOne{
EntityA{entityB} to EntityB{entityA}
}

e.g.: EntityB is required when save EntityA.

Replace deasync, inquirer, or both

The deasync package must either be replaced, or a fix must be found.

See #12 for more details.

Unable to use underscore in Enums

Enums cannot contain _ in current version.

E.g. the following JDL

entity SpecialDiet {
    type SpecialDietValue,
    other String
}
enum SpecialDietValue {
    NONE, NO_PORK, VEGETARIAN, VEGAN, OTHER
}

causes the following error

Expected ",", "}" or a space but "_" found.

one-to-many with User in dsl

Hi I'm failing to generate a one-to-many with the User that would be autogenerated in JHipster in subsequent steps.

See functionality that should be availabel here: https://jhipster.github.io/2015/03/01/jhipster-release-2.5.0.html

"The User entity, which is a special entity handled by JHipster, has been modified so you can do many-to-one relationships to it:

This is a common requirement to have some entities linked to the user. For example, many “orders” could be linked to one “user”.
As usually you will want to restrict those entities to the current user, we also provide a helper Repository method, called findAllForCurrentUser() which will be automatically generated
If you have a look at this method, you will see that we use the Spring Security Principal in a Spring Data JPA query. This is because we added SpEL support in Spring Data JPA!"

How is this achievable in Jhipster-uml?

I am testing with a basic sample app using the jhipster-uml dsl code and simply adding:

entity Order{
note String required minlength(5) maxlength(200)
}
relationship OneToMany{
User{order} to Order{client}
}

When I run jhipster-uml I get:
In the association User_to_Order, the entity User is not declared.

Generate unidirectional jhipster relationships

In one-to-many/many-to-one relationships, JHipster-uml maps UML unidirectional relationships to JHipster bidirectional relationships (both many-to-one and one-to-many get generated)
As JHipster supports unidirectional relationships, it should be possible to only generate one side of the relationship. For instance if there is no "role" name on one side of the relationship in the diagram ?

To have a way to define decimal precision

Would be nice to have the option to not overwrite some files once you are recreating some entity as the generator does

If the domain didn't change, the other files seems to be identical, why to create a new liquidbase xml file?

I am using jhipster-uml in an Agile development, so I constantly go back to my model and change something, but not everything. Most of the time I'm creating new tables and relationships. So, why once we run jhipster-uml not have an option to choose among entities to update? A way like jhipster:entity entity.

Reverse an existing code

Using modelio's reverse ability, I was able to generate the xmi from the domain classes.
It is almost perfect except for the non primitive types such as BigDecimal, DateTime, ...
With Modelio, these classes are added to the project as java/math/BigDecimal classes and then the domain classes have relationships to these classes.
It would be great to be able to generate the jhipster Json directly from this configuration. Imagine you can :

• reverse an existing JPA project and migrate it to jhipster very easily
• make your jhipster-uml project from your existing jhipster project very easily

For this to work jhipster-uml must be able to:

• detect relationships towards java.math.BigDecimal, org.joda.time.DateTime, ...
• have an option to parse the classes from a package name (such as com.mycompany.myapp.domain)

The field 'name' does not possess any type, exiting now.

Exported a test xmi file from Modelio but can't make it work with jhipster-uml

I'm missing something?

Filter cannot find symbol: variable filter

Sorry maybe this issue must be reported here: jhipster/generator-jhipster#1854

New parser system is needed

Each editor differs from the others and including each editor's changes in one file (xmiparser) is difficult and ugly. The news system will have different files (one file for each editor) so that if a change is needed, a new file would be created instead of modifying the same ol' file.

This new system will change only the parsing part of JHipster-UML, and we'll try not to make it as a breaking change (i.e. 1.0.0, but more of a 0.N+1.0).

The type 'Short' isn't supported by JHipster, exiting now.

I'm trying to generate domain classes by reverse enginering an existing postgres database via VisualParadigm.
So, I successfully generated ERD and from it then I generated classes ready to be exported into XMI format.
But, when i try to generate .json file from xmi format I got

Please, how can I solve this issue?

"Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined" when trying to use enumerators in Modelio

Overview of the issue

When I use the "Enumeration" type in Modelio then try to generate the entities through JHipster, I get the following:

$ jhipster-uml uml.xmi
Parser detected: MODELIO.

Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined

I've tried generating without the enums, and I have a circular reference that I haven't figured out yet if that makes a difference. There is nothing in the docs about enumerators in Modelio so I might just be doing something wrong.

Motivation for or Use Case

This is blocking me from using the generator.

I have an XMI .uml file generated with papyrus (eclipse). I know that according to the documentation it's not supported, but I did some testing and was able to generate classes from other diagrams without any problems.
I'm using umldesigner parser. this is the stack I'm getting.

Cannot generate a one-to-one relationship with the latest version of jhipster and jhipster-uml

one-to-one entity creation now requires otherEntityRelationshipName and otherEntityField to be set when ownerSide == true

this is since jhipster/generator-jhipster#1757

Sorry fogot to mention this when developing this PR.

One will get the following error trying to generate a one to one relationship with jhipster-uml

The entity Child is being created.
WARNING otherEntityRelationshipName is missing in .jhipster/Child.json for relationship with id 1, using child as fallback
ERROR otherEntityField is missing in .jhipster/Child.json for relationship with id 1

Transfer UML attribute or class comments to source code of generated entities

Hi there,

the XMI format allows the definition of comments for classes or attributes (via the <ownedComment> element). When using the jhipster-uml generator, it would be great if the generator would recognize such comments and include them as javadoc comment in the generated entity class.
This way, the UML model could be used not only as model for the generator, but also as documentation of the entity model.

Would be nice to do the reverse (i.e. generate the .xmi from .jhipster files?)

Relationship to the User entity

Tried to create a very simple sample app using:
jhipster-uml dataModelSimple.jh -db sql -paginate
Where dataModelSimple.jh is this model:

entity User{
}

entity DealershipEmployee{
    id Long required,
    firstname String required,
    lastname String required
}
relationship OneToOne{
    DealershipEmployee{user} to User{dealershipEmployee}
}

Did not receive any error past the expected warning about the User entity would be ignored, tried also with ManyToOne instead of OneToOne, same behavior:

The application gets created successfullyand it is usable, but the DealerhipEmployee does not contain a reference to the User table. I looked in the issues, and there are some about the User entity, but nothing with no errors or warning, maybe I am doing something wrong...

thanks for any help, great tools, both jhipster and the idea of jml...!

LocalDate not implemented

I copy/pasted the Book example from http://jhipster.github.io/jhipster_uml.html#jdl
It seems the type LocalDate is not implemented in https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-uml/blob/master/lib/dsl/grammar.txt
This gives the error "Expected a type but "L" found"

Visual Paradigm issue

Exported XMI files are different (the changes are visible with exporterVersion 7.0.1 and 7.0.2.
Classes are represented by 'packagedElement' tags with the former version, but starting from version 7.0.2 they are replaced by 'ownedMember' tags.

The XMI parser has to include this change, or we may just drop the VP support (as it is the only editor changing the way classes are represented).

No other change has been noticed.

DTO functionality is not working

I'm using the newest (1.1.0) version but not even selecting all or one by one the script is not creating the dto classes.
