emfjson-mongo

An easy to use adapter that works on top of the EMF Resource API to store and retrieve EMF Models on MongoDB.

Download

Add the following dependency to your pom file.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.emfjson</groupId>
    <artifactId>emfjson-mongo</artifactId>
    <version></version>
</dependency>
You can also find the jars in [maven central](http://search.maven.org/#search ga 1 emfjson-mongo)

Usage

Setup

Usage of emfjson-mongo is done through the standard EMF API. Configure your ResourceSet like in the following snippet and you will be ready to store your models in MongoDB.

ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();

// register packages for use in non osgi env.
resourceSet.getPackageRegistry()
  .put(EcorePackage.eNS_URI, EcorePackage.eINSTANCE);

// register JSON de/serializers
resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry()
  .getExtensionToFactoryMap()
  .put("*", new JsonResourceFactory());

// register mongo support
resourceSet.getURIConverter()
  .getURIHandlers()
  .add(0, new MongoHandler());

Create a Resource with a URI pointing to MongoDB. The URI must contains 3 segments identifying the database, the collection and the document id.

The URI should have the following form:

mongodb://{host}[:{port}]/{db}/{collection}/{id}

Creating a resource with a valid mongo URI looks like this:

URI uri = URI.createURI("mongodb://localhost:27017/emfjson-test/models/model1");
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(uri);

Alternatively, you can use a URI mapping:

resourceSet.getURIConverter().getURIMap().put(
	URI.createURI("http://resources/"),
	URI.createURI("mongodb://localhost:27017/emfjson-test/models/"));

Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource
  (URI.createURI("http://resources/model1"));

Override the name of the field to avoid problem with the reserved name of Bson. And set the URI handler, to avoid problem with external resources.

Map<String, Object> options = new HashMap<>();
options.put(EMFJs.OPTION_URI_HANDLER, new IdentityURIHandler());
options.put(EMFJs.OPTION_REF_FIELD, "_ref");

resourceSet.getLoadOptions().putAll(options);

Saving a document

First create a new instance.

User u = ModelFactory.eINSTANCE.createUser();
u.setName("Bob");

Add it to your previously created resource.

resource.getContents().add(p);

Call the method save on your resource, this will store the content of the resource as a JSON document inside MongoDB.

resource.save(null);

Loading a document

Simply call the load method on your resource.

resource.load(null);
