  1. MAGE-TAB in SMD-Land Cate Beauheim, Cathy Ball, Don Maier • One Validating Parser • Graphical Interface to create and load into SMD

  2. Requirements • Avoid the problem of multiple incompatible formats that has plagued MAGE-ML. • A single, reference MAGE-TAB parser/validator that can be used in both Java and Perl programming environments. • Easily revise the parser along when the MAGE-TAB specification is revised.

  3. Design • Formal grammar specification to generate the parser. NO HAND-WAVING ALLOWED • Formal UML-specified object model used to generate classes that represent the MAGE information that the parser may discover. • Connect the generated parser to the generated MAGE-TAB objects by calls to a hand-coded “apply” method that invokes the generated constructors and setters for MAGE-TAB objects. • While all this is in Java, Perl programs get access via Java::Inline.

  4. Features • Logic specific to MAGE-TAB isolated in a formal grammar, a UML-specified object model, and an “apply” method that links the grammar and objects. • Lexer/parser automatically generated from a formal grammar for MAGE-TAB using ANTLR. • MAGE-TAB information represented by objects automatically generated from UML by AndroMDA. • Either Perl or Java can invoke a parse and access the information generated as MAGE-TAB object attributes. • Validation stamping avoids unneeded re-parsing. • Java-based implementation runs on any platform that supports Java 1.5.0 or newer.
