APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Abstract:
  
   Attempts to validate a model in headless mode result in no
  validation
  constraints being executed
  
  Error description:
  
   1. Develop a custom plug-in (an Eclipse Application) that
  invokes the
  Validation Framework for the purpose of validating UML Models
  
  2. Invoke this Eclipse application in interactive mode.
  
  Results:
  
  The constraints are evaluated and UML Validation errors are
  reported.
  3. Invoke this Eclipse application in headless mode.
  
  Results:
  
  No constraints are evaluated and the model appears to validate
  correctly
  even if it contains validation errors.
  
  Workaround:
  
   Not available

  ****************************************************************
  Execution of model validation is failing in headless mode.
  There are several places in the execution path that assumes
  that validation is happening in UI mode where you have the
  workbench. This was resulting in IllegalStackExeption.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changes have been made so that model validation can be
  executed in headless mode.
