Hi All,
Please excuse the cross post as I am not sure if this is something with
XSD itself.
I have an XSD (again attaching a Writer, Book example XSD) where a
Writer has Books like,
<xsd:complexType name="Writer">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" ref="Book"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
I declare Book as an element and not directly as a complex type. Now the
editor code comes up fine. However when i try to create the
"GMFGraphical model", Writer and Book come as node. *But the link
between them is not coming up in the wizard*. I am not able to add it
manually after gmfgraph creation. My questions are
a) Why does the linking part not come up in GMFGraph wizard, even though
a Writer class has a reference to the BookType in the ecore model?
b) Can someone point to relevant documentation as to what a ref actually
means? I have gone through
(http://www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_complex.asp) and
(http://www.w3schools.com/schema/el_element.asp)
But doesnt give me what is the difference between having it as a ref
instead of type attribute?
Thanks,
Kannan

I even added
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" ref="Book"
ecore:reference="Book"/> in the writer assuming ecore:reference will
bring up the link in the graphical editor

Kannan,
You're sure your overall schema is valid? Whether you have a local
element declaration or a ref to a global element declaration should have
no significant impact on the resulting Ecore model (other than the fact
that, by default, the former would be unqualified in the serialization
while the later would be qualified). I don't know enough about GMF to
answer that part of the question...
