[EMF Forms] Databinding does not work for XMLResource based model element [message #1694222]

Hi,

The model I'm working with is based on XSD. Models are stored in corresponding XML files.

If I load a model from a file, and use EMF Forms to display the element, the data is displayed, but changes are not written back to the EObject.

If I create the same model element using EcoreUtil.create(ThePackage.eINSTANCE.getTheElement()) then everything works as expected.

I was trying to find out by debugging and reading documentation, but was unfortunately not successfull.

One difference between the two model elements is that the one loaded from the XML file has an eContainer (the DocumentRoot) and eFlags, the other one not. Could this be relevant?

Thanks for your help!

Michael

Further investigation showed that the model element didn't have an editing domain.

The editing domain is added in org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.internal.context.ViewModelContextImpl.addResourceIfNecessary() for model elements that do not have
an associated eResource. Since the model element loaded from a file has an eResource, no editing domain is added in ViewModelContextImpl.addResourceIfNecessary().

Adding the editing domain to the resource set of the model element solved the problem.
