How to retrieve reference data by giving a class [message #474875]

Hi All:
In UML model, by giving user defined DataType Class, is there a way to
know where the datatype class was referenced?
For example:
I have a defined dataype class: TypeA, and it was used in following class
in the model:
ClassA.attribute1::TypeA
ClassB.attribute2::TypeA

Is there a simple approach that I can retrieve the list of
ClassA.attribute1 and ClassB.attribute2 that TypeA was referenced?

Currently, I'm using emf.query to perform the check, but performance is
poor...

Thanks in advance.

JD,

I think you can determine this efficiently from
CacheAdapter.INSTANCE.getInverseReferences but note that this will only
find references from models that are loaded into memory...
