labels incorrect [message #197750]

Hi, I have a model made up of many classes with inheritance from abstract
classes!

For some reason my node labels reference the name of the abstract class
that it inherits from rather than the name of the class its self!

Any ideas why this could be happening?
Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks In Advance,
Gary

Sorry bad explination of the problem!
...Ok, Say I have 2 classes A and B
...A = Abstract class
...B = Inherits from A
...Both these classes have a unique Diagram Label

However for some reason class B is displaying the Diagram lable of its
parent class A!

any ideas?

Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,

So, you have two EClasses: A and B both having EAttribute and incorrect attribute
was used to display label of B (instance of B). Looks like you have to correct
LabelMapping in .gmfmap model to point to the proper attribute of EClass
B instead of EClass A..

Yeh thats right, however i have got the label mapping correct!
Thats why this problem makes no sence
...Could it be something to do with the fact that some of my classes are
in different packages? (though this shouldn't be a problem, as far as i'm
aware)

Hello Gary,

You can check generated ???ParserProvider class - this class should has a
method named like "createXXXXParser" returning the parser used to represent
text of the corresponding label. EAttribute specified in mapping file should
be referenced there. If you've specified correct attribute then proper value
should be injected into this place and the rest is a metter of EMF (you can
debug corresponding methods returning string value to see the reason why
incorrect value was returned). If you have proper attribute specified in
mapping, but incorrect reference injected into the generated ParserProvider
then this is a problem of code generator and we have to investigate it a
little bit more.

P.S. Did I get it right - both super-class and sub-class du has attributes
with the same name?
