[Databinding API] Path over multi-valued features [message #431519]

If i have the following model:
X {
List<Y> y;
}
Y {
List<Z> z;
}
the EMFObersvables.list(FeaturePath.fromList(MyPackage.Literals. X__y,
MyPackage.Literals.Y__z)) is not working as y is a multi-valued feature.
How can i manage to get list of all z's for a given instance of X?

Thanks for your help,
Henning

Hi,

I hacked up something to which uses but I need to discuss with Matt Hall
to find out if some hidden magic stuff in Eclipse-Databinding could help.

What we'd like to have in the end is a MultiList where sublists can be
added and removed. The above is a 5 minute hack but from my tests it
looks like it is working as expected.

Hi Ed,

that's true. The bug was aimed to document the behaviour in JavaDoc. I
assumed that it will take longer to develop the wanted functionality. But
i still wanted to ask you for advice on a temporary solution.

Best regards,
Henning
