Ecore model namespace from EObject [message #1304461]

Hi,
I have a following problem. How can I get ecore model namespace from EObject.
I have an instance of my.domain.MyElement (extends EObjectImpl) definied in "my.domain" namespace in ecore model.
my.domain.MyElement extends super.domain.MyElement. Is there an easy way to get "my.domain" namespace form my.domain.MyElement?

Bartosz,

Without the GenModel, you can't know all the details of how the model
was generated. But for a generated model you can know about the
results, i.e., eObject.eClass().getInstanceClassName() will yield the
qualified name of the interface that was generated. Using
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.plugin.EcorePlugin.getEPackageNsURIToGenModelLocationMap(boolean)
you could try to find the GenModel that was used to generate your model
(assuming that's registered in the plugin.xml and retained in the binary
bundle), and get all the details from that.

You can try these helper methods:

	public static String determineFullyQualifiedPackageName(EObject eObject) {
		return eObject == null ? null
				: determineFullyQualifiedPackageName(eObject.eClass());
	}

	public static String determineFullyQualifiedPackageName(EClass eclass) {
		List<String> packageNames = new ArrayList<String>();
		EObject context = eclass;

		while ((context = context.eContainer()) != null
				&& context instanceof EPackage) {
			packageNames.add(((ENamedElement) context).getName());
		}

		StringBuilder ret = new StringBuilder();

		for (int i = packageNames.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
			ret.append(packageNames.get(i));

			if (i > 0) {
				ret.append(".");
			}
		}

		return ret.length() == 0 ? null : ret.toString();
	}

Hm, I guess my suggestion wont work (in your case) as it does not take the generated package name prefix into account (Ed's suggestion is the proper way to go)...

Thank you for response! Actually I solved my problem in a different way without getting the domain.
