Hello community,

I have a read-only attribute defined in my *.ecore model, so it has no setAttribute - method in the corresponding *.impl.java.
This causes in an error when loading a diagram, which has a model element with its read-only attribute because the attribute is persisted in the model.uml and the setAttribut-method does not exists. What can I do, when a read-only attribute should not be persisted in the Papyrus - model.uml?

Thanks in advance.

Erik

Erik,

An attribute for which isChangeable is false should almost always have
isTransient true. Then it won't be serialized and then the deserializer
won't see something in the serialization it wants to set into the
model. It's also typically the case that an attribute for which
isChangeable is false, also has isDerived true because how else could an
instance ever have a value different from the default unless it's
derived from something else that can actually be changed?
