Re: Developing a serlvet to transform UML XMI to MOF XMI

Hi Nick,
it is great that you are willing to help with this.
First I would recommend you to check out MDR sources from the CVS and 
follow the building instructions for UML2MOF tool to successfully build 
it. If you don't want to go through the whole build process for NetBeans 
and MDR, let me know - I will send you just the jars needed to build 
UML2MOF. After you will successfuly build UML2MOF, try to add the 
servlet class into the same package as UML2MOF Main class is in. Then 
try to implement the same functionality that Main class implements but 
in the servlet. It should not be hard. Transformer class contains the 
whole logic of transformation - Main class just initializes the 
repository (loads UML metamodel into it), then loads the XMI with the 
UML model and calls Transformer class to do the transformation.
Hopefully this helps. Thanks a lot again for volunteering on this! It 
would probably take me a couple of weeks to implement it myself given my 
bandwidth...
