Hi everyone,
I created an EMF project that is based on an XML schema definition, in
particular the schema of a BPEL model. BPEL is a language used to
defined business processes. Its schema can be seen here:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-bpel/#appen dixd
In the generated editor, strange things can be modelled. There are at
least 3 things that worry me:
- Each type can be used only once throughout the whole model (e.g., a
Sequence).
- The root node of the model, Process, is intended to have exactly one
child. When I loaded the XSD file in XML Spy, this is clearly visible.
In the generated model editor, however, a Process can have more than one
child.
- The last thing is that an element such a Sequence may only have
children of type Target and Source. This means that no activities can be
defined within the sequence.
Am I doing something wrong?
Michael

Michael,
I don't understand your comment about "each type can be used only once".
What are you referring to here? Looking at the definition for tProcess, it
looks like it specifies many element children, so I'm confused by your one
child only comment. I don't understand the comment about Sequence either,
target and source appearch to be things on tActivity not tSequence. Could
you more clearly state what the problem is in each case?

Hi Ed,
thank you for taking the time.
Ok, I haven't explained the problem well. As far as I understand it,
tProcess may have exactly one child of the 'activity' group due to the
'choice' markup. The editor however lets me create several activities as
a tProcess' children.
The sequence problem: Within a tFlow, I can have two parallel
tSequences. In theory. I cannot create a second tFlow child of type
tSequence when there already exists a child of type tSequence.
