cotaintment reference [message #216376]

Hi,

In my model EMF, I have this:

A that contains a list of reference of object B (containment='false') and
C composed of a list of B(containment="true").

In my mapping, I try to add a "child reference" to my list of object B
but I can't because I can't define "containment feature" with "A.list:B".
I can only set "C.list:B".

can anyone help?
thanks in advance
Vincent

Hi,

I suppose this is a restrictions in GMF tooling that children can only be
defined by a containment reference.
However, you could tweak the generated code and override
#getModelChildren() method of editpart class of A and add there B
non-containment reference.

Cheers,
Alex

Hello Alex,

I propose in suce cases to set containment feature to "A.list:B", ingore
warnings, generate code and then modify generated CreateCommand.
