Question re href and @children [message #430045] Fri, 08 May 2009 15:17 Go to next message

Hello,

I am having a strange issue with hrefs.
I have 2 resources.
In the first I have a number of Object As which contains a collection of
Object Bs (containment = true)
(I also have something things above A but we'll focus on A and B for
example)
In the second I have a reference to a collection of Object Bs (containment =
false)

The href for one of the Object Bs in the second resource reads like this:
href="resource1.config#//@children.2/@children.3/@myobjectBs.0

The issue arises when I delete an Object A.
In the first resource it is now found at @children.2/@children.2
instead of at @children.2/@children.3
This only occurs if I delete an Object A that was not the last created one.
In other words it seems as if that format is like an index.
So when I delete one Object A any ObjectAs created after it have their
"indexes" updated.

However the second resource does not update to reflect this.

So when I try to restart the application the collection of ObjectBs from
resource 2 does not find an object.

I confirmed that this was what was happening by changing the reference
manually in the xml file of the second resource
So If I change index to reflect resource 1 it works fine.

I tried making sure that resource1 was saved first and then resource2 but it
made no difference.

Has anyone any ideas as to why this is happening an how I might fix it ?

thanks,
Alan.

Hi Alan,

I think the same problem (with a couple of solutions) is described at
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfg3r46h_49ft6r3kg9 .

Also, take a look at my collection of links on EMF UUIDs:

Yes, that's expected.

Yes, exactly.

It makes a difference whether the proxy is resolved or not. If it's not
resolved yet, it will end up keeping the same proxy URI and will point
to a different object.

Whether proxies have been resolved makes a difference.
EcoreUtil.resolveAll can be used to force all proxies to be resolve.

If possible take advantage of EReference.eKeys. I.e., identify an
attribute or combination of attributes in A that make it unique with
respect to the containment reference. The serialization will then look
like @children[key='value'] and will be resilient with respect to
reordering.

Hi Ed,

I used the eKeys and set it to use the id attribute which is a unique
identifier for everything in my model
but the xml did not change and still used the old @childre.index style.
I feel like I am missing something easy. Any ideas ?

thanks,
Alan.

Alan,

Should the id EAttribute had isID be true? If it's unique across the
whole resource, then yes....

Try setting a breakpoint in BasicEObjectImpl.eURIFragmentSegment. Pay
special attention to this part since eKeys.isEmpty should be false
according to your assertion that you've specified a key.

else if (eStructuralFeature.isMany())
{
EList<EAttribute> eKeys = ((EReference)eStructuralFeature).getEKeys();
if (eKeys.*isEmpty*())
{
