How to specify composed key in a reference [message #1823124] Thu, 19 March 2020 14:49 Go to next message

Hi

I've the following model to illustrate my question:

index.php/fa/37624/0/

I would like to specify the attribute 'marketIdentifierCode' from the class 'Market' as part of the ekeys in the association 'liquidityassessment'. In other words, an element in the relation is identified by 'criterion' in the class 'LiquidityAssessment' and by the 'Market'. I've not found a way to achieve that.

Thank you and kind regards,

You cannot use eKeys for this purpose. The EReference.eKeys plays two roles. It defines a constraint. In addition, that constraint is used for navigation by org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.BasicEObjectImpl.eURIFragmentSegment(EStructuralFeature, EObject) (when serializing) and by org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.BasicEObjectImpl.eObjectForURIFragmentPredicate(String, EReference) as called from org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.BasicEObjectImpl.eObjectForURIFragmentSegment(String) when resolving deserialized proxies.

If you need a more general/flexible constraint, you can define a named constraint or an invariant operation on the Instrument EClass and implement arbitrary constraint logic for that in the generated validator or the operation body. If you want it also used for navigation, you can specialize eURIFragmentSegment and eObjectForURIFragmentSegment, though that's unlikely to helpful because it's not a containment reference.
