| Does ID property have to be unique in the whole Resource? [message #423102] |

I have two classes in my Ecore model, A and B, both have id property,
third C class has reference to A (non-containment). When I assign the
same ids A and B objects, and save them in one XML resource along with
C, the operation executed successfully.
Result xml contains something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<a id=1/>
<b id=1/>
<c a="#1"/>
</root>
This xml is what I expect. But when loading this xml I get error: "Value
is not legal", cased by ClassCastException.
Is any ability to correct this issue? Is it correct that loading with id
s only works when all ids are unique(in my example a and b have to be
different)? Why couldn't XMLResource deduce correct type of referenced
object based on eReference of containing object?
Thanks in advance,
Alexey

Yes. That is the XML semantics, as well as EMOF.

Of course it XML semantics if id property of xsd:idref type. But when I
generate Ecore model from Java classes, my id property has no connection
with idref schema type. So is it feasible to deduce type from eReference
and search object with given id among only objects wthis correspomding
of reference type? Besides, all information for that is available.

Alexey,
That's potentially feasible, but not directly supported by EMF.
Consider that you might have a base class X with two derived classes Y
and Z each of which has a different ID feature. Then you might have a
feature x of type X that refers to Y and Z by ID. In this case, you'd
not know if it was a Y or a Z so even Y and Z better have unique IDs.
So I wouldn't suggest trying to go down your path.
