Barbara,
Martin Taal has invested a fair bit of time in ensuring that Teneo hooks
up well with the GMF editor. Maybe it might solve your problems
directly. I've added the EMFT newsgroup to the "to" list of the reply.
I imagine you should be able to use EMF's URIEditorInput as the editor
input and that all your code to communicate with the data base would be
done either at the URI converter level or ResourceImpl side of things.
With the URIConverter changes in EMF 2.4, this should be even easier to
accomplish, if something like XML data columns are your target.
Maybe you could explain a bit more what you're trying to do?
