Hi Ed

First thanks for trying to make some sens of my questions ;)

Also much thanks for the EFactoryImpl customization code. It is nice to
be able to have such a fully generic solution whatever the extensions
ecores !


Now about the eReference proxy problem :

I would agree with you it is not a static vs dynamic problem, but an
external definition proxy problem, and in this case you are right to
point at the URI

So I've tried the following URIs when defining in my ecore extension the
target type of my "dynaspectproperty" reference :


OK (local type, no proxy) :

<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference"
name="dynaspectproperty" upperBound="-1" eType="#//CustomElement"
containment="true"/>


Not OK 1 :

<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference"
name="dynaspectproperty" upperBound="-1" eType="core:Property
java://org.eclipse.jwt.we.model.core.CorePackage#//Property"
containment="true"/>

Explanation :

proxy resolution using XMLHandler.createObjectFromTypeName() fails while
trying to set the eType feature to an instance of EMF Property (backed
up by the java class PropertyImpl), whereas it should be the instance of
EMF Class (backed up by the java class ClassImpl) with the name "Property".


Not OK 2
:
<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference"
name="dynaspectproperty" upperBound="-1"
eType="java://org.eclipse.jwt.we.model.core.CorePackage#//Property"
containment="true"/>

Explanation :

proxy resolution using XMLHandler.createObjectFromFeatureType() fails
while trying to set the eType feature to the instance of EMF Class
(backed up by the java class ClassImpl) with the name "eClassifier"
(because "eClassifier" is the type of the "eType" feature of the
eReference class)


Is there any other way (URIs) to refer to a static model ?


Some more details on the context of my problem :

Base metamodel :
* defined as static EMF in WEMetaModel.ecore, and generated from its
genmodel as a host of packages, java classes and interfaces
* contains static classes like ModelElement, Property, Aspect

Extension metamodel :
* on ModelElement, an Aspect-typed "aspects" relation is defined
* Aspect's generated impl AspectImpl serves as the impl of dynamic
EMF extensions (in a generic manner, thanks to your code)

Custom extension metamodel :
* defined as dynamic EMF in WEMetaModel_custom.ecore
* contains a dynamic class CustomAspect extending Aspect, and others
like CustomElement
* on CustomAspect I've tried to define a "dynaspectproperty"
reference in different ways depicted above.

Regards,
Marc

Is "java://org.eclipse.jwt.we.model.core.CorePackage" the nsURI of your
package? I don't know of any PropertyImpl Java class, except for the
one in UML, so that's really confusing. Oh wait. What's core:Property?
Shouldn't this be "ecore:EClass"? This QName determines what type of
instance is created to act as a proxy.

The QName is needed to create a proxy of the right type.

Hi Ed

Oops you're right, with "ecore:EClass" it works :

<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference"
name="dynaspectproperty" upperBound="-1" eType="ecore:EClass
java://org.eclipse.jwt.we.model.core.CorePackage#//Property"
containment="true"/>

loads OK !

Thanks very much, it was almost too simple ^^

Best regards & have a nice day,
Marc
