Ecore 2 Uml conversion question [message #628405] Mon, 26 April 2010 14:39 Go to next message

Hello there,

I have an ecore model, read from schema.

I have a question about this structure:
Model
package Core
class CmisPropertiesType
Package Messages
class CreatedocumentType
property properties of class CmisPropertiesType

In Ecore this all look well.
When I convert to UML the property shows up as :
<<eReference>> <property> properties
and the association is set to
Association <Association> A_properties_createDocumentType

In this assoc the member end is set to:
Member End <<eReference>> <Property> properties, <Property> createDocumentType : CreateDocumentType

It seems that I have somehow lost my reference to the CmisPropertiesType and end up with a loopback association to CreateDocumentType.

When i look at it in text it looks like:
<ownedAttribute xmi:id="_JNucdFEREd-RXfSJpGgrjw" name="properties" isOrdered="true" aggregation="composite" association="_JNuchVEREd-RXfSJpGgrjw">
<type xmi:type="uml:Class" href="CMIS_Core.uml#_JOBX_lEREd-RXfSJpGgrjw"/>
</ownedAttribute>

Where this id can't be found in file CMIS_Core.uml (in fact all reference-ids to this file begin with _JOB. which is not in the file. ( the equivalent reference in the exported ecore file can be found in the CMIS_Core.xmi file)

Is this expected behaviour?

Best Regards,

Mobius

Hi, Mobius,

What is the type of the "<<eReference>> <property> properties" attribute
in your CreateDocumentType class? I'll bet it is CmisPropertiesType.

The association-owned end is just the non-navigable inverse end required
by a UML association (which must have at least two ends). It has no
correspondent in your Ecore model.

This is all just as it should be.

HTH,

Christian
