Hello,

I'm currently working on a implementation to write our models into a CDO storage. The models are generated out of a database which contains our current meta model (no emf).
The current code generates different packages and between classes of this packages are references.
E.g.
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="SELECTED" lowerBound="1" upperBound="-1">
      <eAnnotations source="Configurations">
        <contents xsi:type="common:CompositeConfiguration">
          <children xsi:type="common:PdoPropertyConfiguration"/>
          <children xsi:type="configurations_1:DataAccessPropertyConfiguration" ColumnName="Selected Materials">
            <ColumnNames>Selected Materials</ColumnNames>
          </children>
          <children xsi:type="common:MeasureConfiguration" visible="true"/>
        </contents>
      </eAnnotations>
      <eType xsi:type="ecore:EClass" href="mda:www.xxx.de#[ecore::EClass]metalsgui_sample_matmanagement::MAT_VD"/>
    </eStructuralFeatures>


metalsgui_sample_matmanagement is a different package than the current.

Now I have problems to write it to a CDO storage. I always get an DanglingReferenceException (The object "org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@618ea67a (eProxyURI: mda:www.xxx.de#[ecore::EClass]metalsgui_sample_matmanagement::MAT_VD)(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl)" is not contained in a resource).

Here is my test code (getContents() returns the current model):
    private void loadToCdo2()
    {
        CDOModelStorage cdo = new CDOModelStorage( "CDO", "localhost", 2036, false, 1000, "" );
        try
        {
            CDOTransaction tx = cdo.getSession().openTransaction();
            CDOResource res = tx.getResource( "abc3" );
            while( getContents().size() > 0 )
            {
                EObject obj = getContents().get( 0 );
                // EcoreUtil.resolveAll( obj );
                log.info( "copy: " + obj + " class: " + obj.getClass() );
                res.getContents().add( obj );
            }
            tx.commit();
        }
        catch( Exception e )
        {
            log.warn( "Can't copy (" + e.getMessage() + ")\n", e );
        }
        log.info( "finish" );
    }


Even when I try to resolve (EcoreUtil.resolveAll( obj )) the model I get an exception.

I also tried to write back my models to xmi files (this works) and load it into the cdo via the CDO Explorer in Eclipse. There I get the same DanglingReferenceException.

Now, I don't know how to handle such references between the models. Any suggestion?

Regards,
Johannes.

Hi Johannes,

A DanglingReferenceException means that you try to commit an object A that has a cross-reference to an object B and that
B is not contained in any resource. If that's the case it doesn't matter what client parts of CDO you use, you must find
and fix that problem in your model/application. Even in a pure EMF application (without any CDO) you would get the same
or a similöar exception when you attempt to save it to XML.

Cheers
/Eike
