Custom Create Methods [message #482464]

Some of the classes I have modeled with EMF had previously used
non-default constructors that did much of the initialization work.
After converting to EMF, I now perform this initialization outside the
constructor through several set methods everywhere I create a new
instance. It's doable, but cumbersome.

Is there a way to specify a custom factory method in the genmodel that
would allow input parameters to the factory create methods? My source
of info is Section 10.8 of the EMF Bible, 2nd Ed. But I don't see
anything about customized creates.

Paul,

No, you'd have to provide custom create methods in the factory by hand.

I'm cool with that. I just didn't want to violate any part of the
framework by doing so.

Paul,

As long as the regular create methods still create uninitialized
objects, all will be good.
