[CDO] Ecore model inheritance [solved] [message #1598987]

Let's say we have got an object of type X, created from an ecore model, which is passed to CDO. This object holds a reference to other objects of type A. This works fine:

X x = XFactory.eINSTANCE.createX();
A a = AFactory.eINSTANCE.createA();
x.getA().add(a);

Now to my problem:
I am creating a new Ecore model B which extends A.
I can add this object B to the object X:

B b = BFactory.eINSTANCE.createB();
b.setSpecial("bla");
x.getA().add(b);

This does not produce any error, but the following will always return null after it was committed to CDO. What could I be doing wrong?

A a = x.getA().get(0);
if(a instanceof B) {
    System.out.println(((B) a).getSpecial());
}

Thank you for any advice!

Okay, of course it works fine. My mistake was to not prepare the ecore model for CDO.
