initialize() method not propogating to child types reference via possible attribute in Type annotati [message #1740007]

I have a model which basically models a xsd choice by using the following Type annotation:

@Type(base = TemplateData.class, possible = { FlatTemplateData.class, XmlTemplateData.class })
@XmlElementBinding(path = "templateData", mappings = {
@XmlElementBinding.Mapping(element = "flatTemplateData", type = FlatTemplateData.class),
@XmlElementBinding.Mapping(element = "xmlTemplateData", type = XmlTemplateData.class)
})
@Label(standard = "Template Data")
ElementProperty PROP_TEMPLATE_DATA = new ElementProperty(TYPE, "TemplateData");
ElementHandle<TemplateData> getTemplateData();

And this all works fine in the UI, except for when I call initialize() on the root type, this event is not being called on the FlatTemplateData or XmlTemplateData, so that InitialValues, etc are not being setup for an instance of FlatTemplateData or XmlTemplateData

I am working around this by explicitly calling the initialize() method on the getTemplateData().content()

Is this a bug or do I need to do something else to get the initialize process to correctly propogate to the correct child class?

The initialize() is called when a new element is added as a root or as child to an existing model. Initialization only traces down into implied element properties. Explicit element properties (like in your example) and list properties are ignored as they aren't expected to hold any content at that point.

Why do you need to call this method explicitly?
