Hi,
I have this problem: I have an Eclass in my ecore model that I call A,
which has an Ereference to some other object, instance of another Eclass,
that I call B. There is another Eclass in my Ecore model, C that is an
extension of B.
Now I'm creating some compartments in the node represents Eclass A, in the
first compartment I want to contains labels corresponding to Eclass B
references, and in the second compartment I want to contains labels
corresponding to Eclass C references. But when I add a type C label, this
one is also added in the compartment containing type B label, and if I
remove it from model I read a strange string..
I hope someone can help me and sorry for my english!
Thanks and regards,

Elena

Hi Elena,

could you tell us a bit more about how the data is accumulated which
is shown in the compartments? Normally the content of a compartment
doesnot change if you add a node to another compartment.

Apart from your current problem you may think about this:
If you want to show nodes of EClass B and C in separate compartments
that indicates that EClass B and C are used for different purposes.
Even if both classes share the same list of attributes etc. it may be
wrong to say that EClass B is the superclass of EClass C. You could
change your inheritance relationship by adding an EClass X which is
the superclass ofB and C and contains all the attributes etc. both B
and C share.
I don't know your actual metamodel but maybe by refactoring it as
Isuggest would make the whole task easier.

Hope that helps.
Nicolai

Hi Elena,

Declaring two derived transient features in the A EClass (one to return
only C's and the other only for not-C's) may help. You will then use
these features as children feature of the NodeReference.

Best regards,
Boris
