Java Automation: I-Exception reading Repository

[kaimeder]

Hello,

im just starting to code java against the automation server:

Code: [Select]


System.out.println("loading EA-API ...");
try {
   System.loadLibrary("SSJavaCOM");
   System.out.println("successfully loaded");
} catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
   System.out.println("could not load EA-API: " + e.getMessage());
}
System.out.println("opening EA-Repository ...");
try {
   Repository rep = new Repository();
   rep.OpenFile("./test.eap");
   System.out.println("LOADED! processing...");

   try {
       Collection<Package> models = rep.GetModels();
   } catch (Exception e) {
       System.out.println(rep.GetLastError());
       e.printStackTrace();
   }
} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
   System.out.println("could not load Repository: " +         e.getMessage());
}


getting the models crashes with following output:

loading EA-API ...
successfully loaded
opening EA-Repository ...
LOADED! processing...
Call FileOpen() or FileOpen2() before accessing other Repository members.
java.lang.Exception: I
at org.sparx.Repository.comGetModels(Native Method)
at org.sparx.Repository.GetModels(Repository.java:570)
at de.innobis.innproc.Starter.main(Starter.java:33)

any hints?

thanks,

Try checking the return value of OpenFile.  I suspect that it failed.

Try passing in an absolute file path.

Since you're getting started consider the following "boiler-plate"

Code: [Select]


Repository rep = null;
File file = new File(filePath);
if(file.exists()) {
 try {
    if((rep = new Repository()) != null) {
       if(rep.OpenFile(filePath)) {
          // do stuff here
       }
    } else {
       System.out.println("Could not create repository");
    }
 } catch(Exception e) {
 }
 finally {
    if(rep != null) {
       rep.CloseFile();
       rep.destroy();
    }
 }
} else {
  System.out.println("File not found");
}

This way any resources you create, get cleaned up.
