Unable to get hierarchy in table [message #1231402]

Hi,

I try to put a bounded recursive structure in a table. The meta model contains a class C which on its turn might contain another instance of type C.

C <>---> [0..1] C

I created an model instance looking like: c1{c2{c3}}. So c1 contains c2 which contains c3 which does not contain any C instance anymore.

I would like to visualize this in a table like:

c1
+--c2
   +--c3

Therefore I created a linemapping CLineMapping which imports itself in order to facilitate the recursion.

However I end up with a table looking like:

c1
+--c2
   +--c3
c2
+--c3
c3

So c2 and c3 are present multiple times. How do I limit them? I suppose that this is a rather trivial task and I must be overlooking something but I don't see it.

Any ideas?

Greetings,
Wilbert.

Hi Wilbert,

It seems that your 'Semantic Candidates Expression' on your line mapping
is not restrictive enough. Try to restrict the semantic candidates to
the first containment level with this expression for example:
[eContents()/]

Best regards,

Florian
