Removing components from an XML schema [message #26345] Tue, 12 August 2003 14:39 Go to next message

I am trying to prune an extremely large xsd by taking off unneeded
branches of it. The way I am doing this is to load the schema into memory,
and to remove the unwanted objects with the ECoreUtil.remove(EObject obj)
method. I am then writing the new compact schema back to a file.

In a small test case it works great. When I tried it with a real schema (a
set of XML schemas > 700KB), the remove method calls went extremely
slowly. It seems that every time remove is being called, the whole Schema
is being analyzed which is a lengthy process. I have about 2500 items I
need to remove, and each remove is taking about 1 second.

Is there anyway I can turn off the validation process when removing?

Thanks,
Hayden Marchant,

Hayden,

Yes, you can use XSDSchema.setIncrementalUpdate(false) to turn off the
expensive global updates and set it back to true, or call XSDSchema.update,
afterwards.

This sounds like it should be a FAQ!

Presumably any large-scale schema modifications would go more quickly when
setIncrementalUpdate(false) is set. Is there a short and pithy warning
that you can attach to this state though? I imagine that while incremental
updates are off that the ECore magic that keeps all references running
right is not necessarily working. Can you shoot yourself in the foot by,
say, deleting an object from one side of a schema, and then trying to
access it through a reference from the other side of the schema?

Oh: does update() force setIncrementalUpdate(true) again, or do you still
need to do that yourself?

Shane,

The warning is that names will no longer be re-resolved and non-concrete
relations will no longer be recomputed. If you aren't relying on these to
drive your actions, it won't matter. I'm not sure how you'd actually be able
to injure yourself though...

Calling update is a one shot deal and doesn't affect whether incremental
updates will happen.
