I'm trying to find where the cardinality of rules are stored. I assumed it was stored in the ecore model, but has not been able to find anything

Grammar information is in the parser and the xtextbin file which can be accessed by yourdslgrammaraccess

Hi

The cardinality/multiplicity is maintained as the upper/lower/unique/ordered attributes of an Ecore ETypedElement and if you maintain the *.ecore file manually you have direct control.

If you let Xtext auto-generate the *.ecore only those aspects that have a grammar expression can possibly be configured. Thus Xtext cannot possibly know how to set ordered or unique, so you are pretty much limited to singletons "=" and sequences "+=".

Auto-generated *.ecore is great if your models are simple, but disastrous if you actually care about the details. Personally I always use manual *.ecore files.

Regards

ED Willink
