Referencing image files [message #638451]

Hi,

I am looking for the right approach to the following problem:

In my model I store a reference to an image file. The path to the file
is stored in an attribute and I'd like for it to behave in exactly the
same way as 'href' does for EReferences. In other words the path should
be an URI that is properly resolved/deresolved when the model is
loaded/saved.

Could someone point me to the right direction?

Thanks,

Peter

Such processing will normally only kick in for cross resource EReferences.

XMLHelperImpl has methods convertToString and createFromString.
XMLHelper also has the methods resolve/deresolve that are normally used
to process the proxy URIs. So you could have a custom EDataType and
then specialize these XMLHelperImpl methods to resolve and deresolve the
values for that EDataType...
