how can I define containment based on reference?
For example, "Diagram" contains "Group" and "Box", "Group" refers to "Box".
I want to show "Group"s as nodes (Top Node Reference), containing inside "Box"s
(Child Reference).
The problem is, "Group" does not contain "Box", but only
refers to it- how do I specify the Containment Feature of Child Reference
"Box"?


Description Model:
Diagram
- boxs : Box (multiplicity="0..N", containment="true")
- groups : Group (multiplicity="0..N", containment="true")

Group
- boxRefs : Box (multiplicity="0..N", containment="false")

Box



XMI MODEL:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ecore:EPackage xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" name="model" nsURI="http://test" nsPrefix="test.containment">

<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="Diagram">
<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="boxs" upperBound="-1" eType="#//Box"
containment="true"/>
<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="groups" upperBound="-1"
eType="#//Group" containment="true"/>
</eClassifiers>
<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="Group">
<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="boxRefs" upperBound="-1"
eType="#//Box"/>
</eClassifiers>
<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="Box"/>
</ecore:EPackage>

I tried mapping the elements in this way but it does not validate:
"'Containment Feature' must be owned by 'Domain Meta Element' or its super type of this reference parent Node Mapping".


Here are the mappings: ('Diagram' is domain element in CanvasMapping):
TopNodeReference for 'Group'
NodeMapping for 'Group'
ChildReference for 'Box'
NodeMapping for 'Box'

Properties of ChildReference for 'Box':
childrenFeature: the reference from Group to box
containmentFeature: the containment Diagram contains Box

I used these GMF versions
Version: 1.2.1.v20090729-2029-7d8D7CFXwnKwGb_GGuSCBqELpPk0
Version: 2.3.0.v20091216-1748-7C7J-BLxloAuwMCHwhHYp62jjROb



Thank you in advance,
Gabriele
