Freeze on reading corrupted file [message #560215]

Hi there,

we have the problem, that EMF tends to freeze, when it reads corrupted
model (XMI) files. For example, someone accidently saved the contents of
a html page to a EMF model file (with the corresponding file extension).
When opening the file with the corresponding EMF editor, it hangs
forever without error message. Took some time to find out what was wrong.
Is this normal behavior? Not very user safe.

Cheers,
Hauke

Hi Hauke

EMF generally responds to this very quickly, or rather SAX blows up on
content in the prolog. The resulting Resource is empty. Are you sure
that your editor is correctly handling empty resources and checking the
content of resource.getErrors()?
