Derived attributes, stored in feature map (for anyAttribute support) [message #1071913] Sun, 21 July 2013 11:14 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi! I have a following snippet of ECore generated from importing a fairly complex XSD Schema. I've noticed that it generated attributeWildcard feature map for XSD's anyAttribute, and every attribute in elements in inherited classes is derived from that feature map. Unfortunately, that does not work and after code generation EMF wants me to write code for each set/get method.

Changing <details key="kind" value="attributeWildcard"/> to <details key="kind" value="elementWildcard"/> solves the problem with code generation, but generated code still not works.

Leaving kind=attributeWildcard, and writing code by hand works fine.
It it supposed to be a supported feature in emf? For me it looks like a nice feature, as every known attribute will have nice accessor methods, any unknown are left in the feature map, and subclasses can reference that feature map to add more known attributes.

I've attached a small example XSD which reproduces the problem. Just generate a genmodel from it, see the generated ecore, than try to generate code from it.

Leonid,

Please open a bugzilla. This sample isn't complete because there's
nothing to for the reference to "XPath" to resolve to. Ideally you've
provide a minimal schema illustrating the problem.

Ed,

I've provided a small schema to illustrate a problem. Take a look, please.
