Modeling a HashMap [message #425404] Tue, 25 November 2008 01:11 Go to next message

Hi,

I am trying to determine the appropriate pattern for modeling Maps with EMF.
I basically need a Java-like HashMap kind of structure which can be a field
of an EClass (realling nothing fancy, just String keys and values).

What is the best way to model a map? In the EMF book the UML chapter talks
about modeling maps with references to MapEntry classes. However, it seems I
still have to handle the lookup myself. I am presuming others have hit this
before and there is a best practice approach for this. Can someone point me
to some sample models/code for this?

Thanks in advance.
Derek

No, EMaps should do the trick: 2.29 How do I create a Map in EMF?

Is there a clean way to sort EMaps by value ? Currently I am creating a TreeMap outside of EMF, creating a Comparator for the values in the TreeMap. Then, after I am done populating the TreeMap, creating an empty EMap and populating it from the sorted by value TreeMap. There is probably a better way to do this directly in EMF ?
Thanks !

Edward,

That way is okay. You could also sort in place with
org.eclipse.emf.common.util.ECollections.sort(EList<T>, Comparator<?
super T>) using a comparator that takes the Map.Entry values to induce a
sort order based on the key/value features of the map entry...
