| Parameters with generic types. [message #500598] |

Hi,
I've been struggeling trying to define an operation with the following signature:
boolean isEnabled(Map<String, ? extends Object> properties);
I have no problem using an EMap<K,V> for the parameter and thus get:
boolean isEnabled(Map<String, Object> properties);
but I have not been able to figure out how to get the '? extends' part in there. I can create a new generic data type as:
Map<K, ? extends Object>
but that doesn't really help. When I use it, I get Map<String, Object extends Object> which of course isn't what I want.
I can cheat and use 'String' as the name of a type variable but that doesn't feel right either. So what is the correct
way of modeling my operation?
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

I figured this one out myself. From the looks of it, it's a limitation in the Sample Ecore Model Editor. It's fully
possible to add the following XML to the ecore file:
<eOperations name="isEnabled" eType="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EBoolean">
<eParameters name="properties">
<eGenericType eClassifier="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EMap">
<eTypeArguments eClassifier="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EString"/>
<eTypeArguments>
<eUpperBound eClassifier="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EJavaObject"/>
</eTypeArguments>
</eGenericType>
</eParameters>
</eOperations>
and it shows up correctly in the editor. The editor however, does not allow children on the eTypeArguments which begs
the question (that I've been meaning to ask for some time); given that the name of the editor is "Sample ...", is there
a proper Ecore Model Editor somewhere that I'm unaware of? Why is it called "Sample"?

Thomas,
Did you enable "Show Generics"? The Ecore Tools project provides a
graphical editor that's nicer...
