  abstract	= {This paper reports the application of language metamodeling 
                   techniques to EJB3QL, the object-oriented query language for Java 
                   Persistence recently standardized in JSR-220. Five years from now, 
                   today’s EJB3 applications will be legacy. We see our metamodel as an 
                   enabler for increasing the efficiency of reverse engineering 
                   activities. It has already proven useful in uncovering spots where 
                   the EJB3QL spec is vague. The case study reported in this paper 
                   involved (a) expressing the abstract syntax and well-formedness 
                   rules of EJB3QL in UML and OCL respectively; (b) deriving from that 
                   metamodel software artifacts required for several 
                   language-processing tasks, targeting two modeling platforms 
                   (Eclipse EMF and Octopus); and (c) comparing the generated artifacts 
                   with their counterparts in the reference implementation 
                   of EJB3 (which was not developed following a language-metamodeling 
                   approach). The metamodel of EJB3QL constitutes the basis for 
                   applying model-checkers to aid in assuring conformance of tools 
                   claiming to support the specification. },
