Re: [emf-dev] Creating one EMF file of multiple resources
|
Eike,
Please use the EMF newsgroup, not the mailing list to ask user questions.
More comments below.

Hello,
I have a small problem with writing EMF models to files. The setup is as
follows: I have one top level EObject which refers to some subobjects. The
toplevel object and all subobjects are located in seperate Resources in the
same ResourceSet. The references between these objects are transparently
resolved by a model repository for my first program (which acts as a client
for this repository).
However I have a second program which knows about EMF but cannot be connected
to the repository. Therefore resolving references does not work.
What is the URI of each resource? How does this "transparent resolving"
work?
I want to
use the client to write one file (or maybe a set of files?) for use with this
second program. The references have to be updated to point to the correct
(local) subobject.
I already tried to use the EcoreUtil.copier class to make a copy of the top
level object, update its references and save the copy to one file. But then
the references are still pointing to (for my second program) unavailable EMF
resources.
Unresolved proxies I suppose. You can use
EcoreUtil.UnresolvedProxyCrossReferencer. EObject.eIsProxy will be true
for unresolved proxies and you can cast to InternalEObject to access
eProxyURI.
I could imagine that writing one file per resource and using a URIConverter to
fix the references would do the trick. But I'm quite new to this stuff and
have no idea how to implement this.
Please post follow up questions on the newsgroup instead of the mailing
list.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Eike Thaden
