Keep uppercase of the EAttribute names [message #429419]

Hi,

I'm generating my ecore model using an XSD file; which contains elements
with uppercase names like this:

<xs:element name="Analysis" maxOccurs='unbounded'>
<xs:complexType mixed="false">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="ANALYSIS_ID" type="xs:string" />

However, when the ecore model is generated, the first letter of the
EAttribute name is changed to lowercase (e.g. aNALYSISID).

Is there anything I can set/add so EMF keeps everything uppercase?

Thanks in advance!

You could use ecore:name="...". Why does it matter anyway given the
serialization will use exactly the name used in the schema? If
anything, analysisID would be more appropriate Java naming convention
for a field.

Ed,

I'm not sure I follow.

When it is actually serialized, it uses the EAttribute name, as shown
below:

<analysisList>
<analysis aNALYSISID="Z01451" aNALYSISNAME="TIMELINE AMES"
aNALYSISINCREMENTID="">

Ben,

What you show isn't used if you properly use the generated
XyzResourceFactoryImpl to create the resource because in that case the
extended meta data option is applied and the original XML names will
appear in the serialization. After all, XML allows things like
ANALYZED-ID which isn't a valid Java name and that too is supported in
the serialization....
