| Existing XMI, meta-model changes [message #992257] |

Hello,
suppose an existing Ecore model instance as serialized XMI. Now the meta
model is changed in a way that a solitary unidirectional reference is
added an opposite. When loading the XMI resource I get an
IndexOutOfBounds exception. SAXXMIHandler.handleForwardReferences seems
to make some fixups ending up in moving an element in a list to a
position, but the list is empty at that point.
I would have expected that the new opposite reference is automatically
populated on loading, but that does not seem to be the case.
What can I do to save the XMI? A fully manually restore on XML level
would be quite difficult I'm afraid.
TIA
Marius

Well I actually had tried that before my post. However, this didn't work
in conjunction with Teneo, which we use in the project. Unfortunately I
don't recall the exact error I got.
It really would be great if there was at least some kind of load option
for this, so I could write some kind of workbench action which "fixes"
such half-complete models.

Marius,
How broken is the final loaded resource? Note that even if
ResourceSet.getResource(..., true) throws an exception, you can still
call ResourceSet.getResource(..., false) to find the resource that was
loaded and it will have contents to the extent to which they could be
populated during loading (minus the parts it couldn't deal with because
of exceptions). Look at how the generated editor does that...
