Hi,

I wish to get to the root element in my model. I know I can apply ancestors()->last(), but this does not work on the root element itself (I want to keep the query generic, so that in case the selected element is the root element then it will also be selected).

Any advice?

Hi

How about ancestors()->prepend(self)->last() or of course something involving an if test for isEmpty(), or a closure() of eContainer().

Regards

Thanks Ed!

I actually did something similar, but I thought there might be a simpler syntax.

I also tried using self.eResource().getContents(), which seemed to work, but when I used it for changing context it did not.

Regards,
Avi

An EMF resource can have multiple root elements, so getContents() retruns a list, which would not work with "Change Context". If in your case you know there is a single root element you can getContents()->first()
