Non-Standard import and namespace [message #1800530]

We are building a configuration based grammar that can 'import' other saved models, similar in nature to the standard ImportURI method. The difference is that the 'uri' for us is a UUID and version of the saved model stored on a server.
(I won't go into the rational behind our approach, but a filesystem based import scheme is not where we are going.)

So something like:

import SomeModelType {id=a2effa0e-2c04-4336-bea7-2c56c9fceaad version="1.0.0"} as aliasNamespace

Referencing a model from the import elsewhere would look like:

aliasNamespace.myModel

I've read several blogs and posts about imports and namespace, but am still a bit lost around what the correct approach I should be taking here. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Since your approach is similar to import URIs, you should probably start examining the ImportUriGlobalScopeProvider and provide something similar for your case and bind it as implementation of the IGlobalScopeProvider interface (override bindIGlobalScopeProvider in the runtime module).
