Hi all,

I'm not sure I understand the relationship of BPMNPlane elements to other DI model elements. It seems to me that you should be able to have containment of a BPMNPlane in a BPMNShape, something like this:

  <bpmndi:BPMNDiagram id="BPMNDiagram_1" name="Default Process Diagram">
    <bpmndi:BPMNPlane id="BPMNPlane_1" bpmnElement="process_1">
      <bpmndi:BPMNShape id="BPMNShape_1" bpmnElement="StartEvent_1">
        <dc:Bounds height="36.0" width="36.0" x="100.0" y="100.0"/>

        <bpmndi:BPMNPlane>
          <bpmndi:BPMNShape id="BPMNShape_2" bpmnElement="EndEvent_1">
            <dc:Bounds height="36.0" width="36.0" x="500.0" y="100.0"/>
          </bpmndi:BPMNShape>
         </bpmndi:BPMNPlane>
        
      </bpmndi:BPMNShape>
    </bpmndi:BPMNPlane>
  </bpmndi:BPMNDiagram>

When I try this, the XML parser tells me that "Feature 'BPMNPlane' not found." What am I missing here? Is this even allowed?

Thanks!
Bob

Another interesting thing to note is that when I used the default BPMN2 Model editor to add a BPMNPlane as a child of another BPMNPlane, I see this:

  <bpmndi:BPMNDiagram id="BPMNDiagram_1" name="Default Process Diagram">
    <bpmndi:BPMNPlane id="BPMNPlane_1" bpmnElement="process_1">
      <bpmndi:BPMNShape id="BPMNShape_Lane_1" bpmnElement="Lane_1" isHorizontal="true">
        <dc:Bounds/>
      </bpmndi:BPMNShape>
      <di:DiagramElement xsi:type="bpmndi:BPMNPlane" id="_7klmwOxnEeGbVMzLJh8Eiw">
        <bpmndi:BPMNShape id="_-OoyMOxnEeGbVMzLJh8Eiw"/>
        <bpmndi:BPMNEdge id="_-OoyMexnEeGbVMzLJh8Eiw"/>
      </di:DiagramElement>
    </bpmndi:BPMNPlane>
  </bpmndi:BPMNDiagram>

I would haved expected to see this instead:

  <bpmndi:BPMNDiagram id="BPMNDiagram_1" name="Default Process Diagram">
    <bpmndi:BPMNPlane id="BPMNPlane_1" bpmnElement="process_1">
      <bpmndi:BPMNShape id="BPMNShape_Lane_1" bpmnElement="Lane_1" isHorizontal="true">
        <dc:Bounds/>
      </bpmndi:BPMNShape>
      <bpmndi:BPMNPlane id="_7klmwOxnEeGbVMzLJh8Eiw">
        <bpmndi:BPMNShape id="_-OoyMOxnEeGbVMzLJh8Eiw"/>
        <bpmndi:BPMNEdge id="_-OoyMexnEeGbVMzLJh8Eiw"/>
      </bpmndi:BPMNPlane>
    </bpmndi:BPMNPlane>
  </bpmndi:BPMNDiagram>

Please use eclipse.bpmn2-modeler.

Actually, this is BPMN2 metamodel project question and has nothing to do with the editor. Am I in the wrong place?

Robert,

Yes, this is a general newsgroup for the MDT container project which
includes things like UML2, XSD, BPMN2, OCL, and so on. Best when you
have specific questions about one of those technologies you use the
forum specific to that technology.
