Hi,
I am using EMF through annotated Java code as following:
/**
* Adds the given type to this filter. Has no effect if the given type
* already belongs to this filter.
*
* @param type
* the type to add
* @model
*/
public void addEntityType(String type);
/**
* Returns the list of types belonging to this filter. Types are identified
* by there name.
*
* @return the list of types for this entity type filter
*
* @model
*/
public List<String> getEntityTypes();
/**
* Removes the given type from this filter. Has no effect if the given type
* doesn't belong to this filter.
*
* @param type
* the type to remove
* @model
*/
public void removeEntityType(String type);
After creating ecore and genmodel files from this annotated interface, and
after generating code the getEntityTypes method is modified as following:
public EList<String> getEntityTypes();
For encapsulation purpose I want this EList to be unmodifiable, thus the
interface client's code can only modify the list through add and remove
methods.
Is there any clean way to do that I.e modifying Java annotation or the
genmodel file to tell the generator to generate code returning
unmodifiable list ? (I was unable to find that after googling ...)
How do you manage such situations ?
Thanks in advance
Manu

But the deserializer and copier won't know to do that...

No, even unchangeable list features generate a list that can be changed.

Don't. Perhaps it's good to understand why you are doing this...
