Hi All,

I have XSD like this:

<xsd:complexType name="Floor">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="roomList"
type="com.ibm.example.building:Room"/>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="fakeList"
type="com.ibm.example.building:Room"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="level" type="xsd:ID"/>
</xsd:complexType>

I remove an item from the roomlist and get this diff node:

<subDiffElements xsi:type="diff:RemoveModelElement">
<rightParent href="altered.xml#2"/>
<leftElement href="original.xml#bed_2"/>
</subDiffElements>

That tells me that bed_2 was removed from floor 2, but it doesn't tell
me which list used to contain the item. Was it the roomList or the
fakeList?



With references, this is no problem:

<subDiffElements xsi:type="diff:RemoveReferenceValue">
<reference
href=" http:///com/ibm/example/Building.ecore#//Room/connectsToList"
/>
<rightElement href="altered.xml#stairs_L2"/>
<leftElement href="original.xml#stairs_L2"/>
<leftRemovedTarget href="original.xml#attic"/>
</subDiffElements>

I can see from the reference url which list was altered (In this
example, connectsToList). Am I doing something wrong that prevents this
from working when I use containment?

Thanks,

Jason Henriksen

Ha! Sorted it out!

With references I get the reference spelled out for me:

<subDiffElements xsi:type="diff:RemoveReferenceValue">
<reference
href=" http:///com/ibm/example/Building.ecore#//Room/connectsToList"
/>
<rightElement href="altered.xml#stairs_L2"/>
<leftElement href="original.xml#stairs_L2"/>
<leftRemovedTarget href="original.xml#attic"/>
</subDiffElements>


With containment, I don't need it spelled out for me because I can call:

EObjectImpl target = (EObjectImpl)cur.getRightElement();
EStructuralFeature esf = target.eContainingFeature();

which I was not previously aware of. From the structural feature I get
the same info that I needed the reference tag for above.

Jason,

Just don't cast to EObjectImpl. Cast to EObject instead. If you even
need to; what's the type?
