how to adapt the generated objectsI have [message #643502]

I have some EMF generated objects from an xsd and now have lots of classes like
Type1Request
Type2Request
Type3Request
Type4Request
Type5Request

I need to adapt those objects to a local interface called IMyRequest which specifies how to do something with the request objects

really I just want to check the type of the object and add a method to it, if it one of the classes above, something like;

public RequestAdapter(){

void RequestAdapter(EObject req){
switch(EObject)
{
case Type1Request :
case Type2Request::
case Type3Request::
case Type4Request:

//all is well

case SomeOtherObject:
throw NotSupportedException;
break;
}
}

public string process(){
do something here//

}
}

What pattern should I be looking at?

I am confused by EMF adapter patterns as they seem to be orientated towards adding notifications to objects rather than extra functionality.

Any suggestions would be welcome.Thanks
T

Tom,

You could do it in the usual Java way with a bunch of instanceof tests
or use the generated switch. Look at the modelSwitch of the generated
XyzAdapterFactory as a good example.
