[EWL] Wizard modifies underlying model [message #643576]

Hi,

I have the following wizard defined on *.uml model. Everything works perfectly but this wizard modifies the underlying model. Is it ok even if there are no modification operations?
Can i prevent a wizard modifiying a model? This might sound strange but i do not want to modify the model just do some code generation for example Wink

wizard ServiceWizard {

	guard: self.isKindOf(Class) and self.getAppliedStereotype("Spring2::Service").isDefined()
	
	title: 'Service wizard: ' + self.name
	
	do {
	self.println();

	}

}

Thanks for the help.
Regards,
attila

Hi Atilla,

Wizards don't necessarily have to modify the underlying model. To
prevent wizards from modifying the model at all, you'd need to subclass
the InMemoryEmfModel class and in particular - off the top of my head -
override the getPropertySetter(), createInstance() and deleteInstance()
methods. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

Just out of curiosity: Could you clarify why the example wizard given by
Atilla does actually modify the model? From its code, it would seem that
it shouldn't. Is there some Epsilon magic going on that creates some
internal modifications regardless?

Cheers,

Steffen

Steffen, Atilla,

I'm afraid I completely misunderstood the original question question. If
the wizard appears to be modifying the model - when obviously it
shouldn't - could you please file a bug report so that we can investigate?

Cheers,
Dimitris
