Hi,
when I iterate over the references of an EClass, lets say PropertyCallExp (from ocl.ecore) that I obtain from the
..getEAllReferences() method, I observe that some references are typed over ECore classes from different ECorePackages,
see the example console output below`(I'm in the runtime workspace).
I have built a smarter IdemProvider for my editor that restricts the possible choices for some properties in the
properties view. This requires that I compare some things like the equality of EClasses - but here's a problem since
sometimes they are not equal instances. What can I do? Can I do something with the package registry...?
Thanks for helping.
Joel

Hi, Joel,
I'm afraid I don't understand what the question is. All of the packages
in the EPackage.Registry have a unique identity. This is in the Java
sense and also in the namespace (identified by URI) sense.
Is your item provider trying to distinguish Ecore model elements by
name? It should be able just to use Java object identity for this purpose.
Cheers,
Christian

Definitely the type of a feature can be in another package.

Different EClass instances that are not == will definitely not be .equals!

You've provided very little context to explain why you might have
different instances of the "same" EClass.
There's a difference between something like the loaded Ecore model in
platform:/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/model/Ecore.ecore and the
generated EcorePackage.eINSTANCE. But without explaining what your
doing and how you arrived at where you are, I don't know what direction
to steer you...

Hi Christian,
hi Ed,
I have an editor for "object patterns" -- that is there are nodes and edges representing objects and links (=instances
of EReference). An edge can therefore have a type EReference, which the user can set in the properties view. In order
not to show all EReferences in the drop-down list, but only those which can exist between source and target nodes (which
are typed over EClasses), I do the following in my EdgeItemProvider:
....
Node sourceNode = ((Edge)object).getSourceNode();
Node targetNode = ((Edge)object).getTargetNode();
Iterator sourceNodesClassOutgoingReferencesIterator =
((EClass)sourceNode.getType()).getEAllReferences().iterator( );
while (sourceNodesClassOutgoingReferencesIterator.hasNext()) {
EReference reference = (EReference) sourceNodesClassOutgoingReferencesIterator.next();
if (reference.getEType().equals(targetNode.getType())
|| ((EClass)targetNode.getType()).getEAllSuperTypes().contains( reference.getEType())){
choiceValueList.add(reference);
}
....
99% percent of the time this works fine. But, I recently tried to describe the abstract syntax of an OCL expression with
my nodes and edges. Then I saw that (in my runtime ws) that the type EClass of the EReference that should be equal to
the type EClass of the target node (or superclass thereof) isn't equal. <=== So that's my real problem ;) <===
On a closer look I found odd that the type EClass of PropertyCallExp.eType is of the package
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EPackageImpl@10a0018 (name: ecore) (nsURI: http://www.eclipse.org/ocl/1.1.0/Ecore, nsPrefix:
ocl.ecore)
but that the type EClass of PropertyCallExp.referredProperty is of the package
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EcorePackageImpl@11ef9f6 (name: ecore) (nsURI: http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore,
nsPrefix: ecore)
Any idea why this happens?
I often had similar problems when working in the runtime workspace, but I learned to take very good care that all the
ecore models I reference from the models that I edit are also loaded from the runtime workspace. But now, there is
something referencing the generated EcorePackage from my workspace -- I don't know what to do.
Thanks for helping.

Consider using getEReferenceType instead of casting getEType(), and
using EClass.isSuperTypeOf. Calling methods like getEType in a loop
when the value is the same for each iteration isn't great...

This looks like the development time version of the OCL model (loaded
from the models folder) rather than the generated version of the package
for that.

How did you get a hold of the model/EPackage for OCL?

You'll be able to tell the ones that refer to Ecore via its nsURI,
http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore, verses ones that references the
development time version using
platform:/resource/org.eclispe.emf.ecore/model/Ecore.ecore or
platform:/plugin/org.eclispe.emf.ecore/model/Ecore.ecore. It's quite
common for models to use the former directly...
You can use URI mappings in the resource set's URI converter or
registrations in the resource set's package registry to redirect which
instances is used during loaded... I still don't completely understand
the context...

You could do reference.getEType().isSuperTypeOf(targetNode.getType()),
but that's an unrelated matter. :-)

The eType of a PropertyCallExp is of type ecore::EClassifier, which is
not defined in the ocl.ecore package. However, the *value* of the
PropertyCallExp::eType for your particular call expression may be the
EClass eclassifier from the ecore package.

The type of the PropertyCallExp::referredProperty reference is
EStructuralFeature, not EClass. The *value* of this property in your
call expression presumably is some ereference from the ecore package,
given that the call expression's type is the EClass eclass.

I think what's happening is that your application is getting confused by
the circular nature of Ecore. The OCL Abstract Syntax extends Ecore and
is, therefore, a metamodel in this context, not a model. So, you have
to be careful hov you treat instances of it and their references to
Ecore elements such as EClass and EStructural feature. They are at one
meta-level higher than model instances like Library.
Sometimes EClass is a metaclass and sometimes it's a class. Your item
provider will have to know which interpretation to make
