Hi,
I need to map an xsd metamodel to an ecore metamodel.
I have complextypes that have attributes like this:
<xs:attribute name="ranodmInt" type="xs:integer"/>
<xs:attribute name="ranodmdouble" type="xs:double"/>
By default those attributes will be mapped to Eattributes and their type is determined by the table found in this document.
For example:
xs:integer will be mapped to EDataType: name=Integer instanceClass=java.math.BigInteger
xs:double will be mapped to EDataType: name=Double instanceClass=double
The map further provides information to change the mapping.
xs:integer with nillable="true" will be mapped to EDataType: name=IntObject instanceClass=java.lang.Integer.
As my attributes all are optional (i.e. they don't have use="required") and thus have to support NULL values, i'd like them to be mapped to ObjectTypes in Java (instanceClass) instead of simple types (Integer instead of int, Double instead of double etc.).
However i cannot find a way to do so, as attributes don't support the nillable attribut and use="optional" did not change the mapping.
Is there a way to do this?

Sebastian,
Don't these primitive-typed attribute also result in unsettable features
such that you can check isSetRandomInt to distinguish whether the
attribute was present in the XML?
You should also be able to use ecore: annotations to influence the type.
If you're not sure how, try changing the Ecore model to what you want
manually, and, via the GenModel, export it to XML Schema and look at
those annotations.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, i can use the eIsSet method. But I still wan't the value to be NULL when i load the model with my ecore-metamodel without handling it explicitely.
I tried your suggestion to generate an xsd from an ecore model and see what it produces. however it simply takes the short cut and uses the ecore-Types alltogether instead of the xsd-types.
<xsd:attribute name="int" type="ecore:EIntegerObject"/>
<xsd:attribute name="bigInt" type="ecore:EBigInteger"/>
I guess I'll have to create the ecore-metamodel statically then, as i am not the owner of the xsd-metamodel and thus have limited influcence which types they use.
