Hi, it's been awhile since I asked about oaw stack, but I got some strange error latelty.

I have two classes in my model: Parent and Child. They have bidirectional containment relation parent<>----children.

When I open the model file in MoDisco editor as well as in ecore reflective editor, all children have theirs 'parent' feature set, but Xpand claim that all 'parent' features (as well as eContainer) are null ! How is it possible?

I use MWE2, I don't use other parts of xtext, I use emf.mwe.utils.Reader and all of that on Eclipse 3.6 (STS edition) with standard updates.

Regards,
Krzysztof Kowalczyk

Hello Krzysztof,

i cannot reproduce the problem with this simple example

<?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="test"
    nsURI="http://www.example.com/test" nsPrefix="test">
  <eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="Model">
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute" name="name" eType="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EString"/>
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="elements" upperBound="-1"
        eType="#//Element" containment="true" eOpposite="#//Element/model"/>
  </eClassifiers>
  <eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="Element">
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute" name="name" eType="ecore:EDataType http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EString"/>
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="model" eType="#//Model"
        eOpposite="#//Model/elements"/>
  </eClassifiers>
</ecore:EPackage>


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<test:Model xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:test="http://www.example.com/test" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.com/test test.ecore" name="TestModel">
  <elements name="E1"/>
  <elements name="E2"/>
</test:Model>


«DEFINE main FOR test::Model»
«FILE "test.txt"»
«FOREACH elements AS e»
«e.name» in «e.model.name»
«ENDFOREACH»
«ENDFILE»
«ENDDEFINE»


module test.Workflow

import org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.*

Workflow {
	
	bean = org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup {
		platformUri = ".."
		registerEcoreFile = "platform:/resource/test/src/test.ecore"
	}
	
	component = Reader {
		uri = "platform:/resource/test/src/Model.xmi"
		modelSlot = "model"
	}
	
	component = org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator {
		metaModel = org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel {}
		expand = "templates::template::main FOR model"
		outlet = {
			path = "src-gen"
		}
	}
	
}

Yout test example works right. Now is time to look for differences Wink
Is github ok to share eventual not working examples?

It seems that I had to mess up something in genmodel, because the problem only occurs when I use "ecoreGeneratedPackage" not the Ecore file.

Nevertheless, the handshaking is working for generated Java classes (at least at creation time), as I did not supress containment in genmodel. I did turn of some other options though, so I will have to check whats wrong in future. Maybe its connected to notifications or reflexion. In any case I do have workaround for now Smile

Thanks,
Krzysztof Kowalczyk
