Working with EMaps in EMF-IncQuery
The eclipse.org EMF wiki gives a proper FAQ about the various modeling related issues, including the usage of EMap-s in your metamodel. With EMF-IncQuery you can even write your own queries to extract the key-value pairs from your instance model.
EMaps in your metamodel
- Creating the actual EMap type Create an EClass with the name [Type1]To[Type2]Map where [Type1] represents the key's type and the [Type2] represents the value's type.
- Set the Instance Type Name property of the newly created EClass to java.util.Map$Entry.
- Create an EAttribute or EReference named "key" and set the EDataType or EClass for it.
- Create an EAttribute or EReference called "value" and set the EDataType or EClass for it.
For example for an <EString, EString> EMap you would have an EClass named EStringToEStringMap if you follow the mentioned scheme.
To actually use this newly created type follow these steps:
- Create an EReference with its EClass set to be the map-entry class you created above.
- Set the Containment property of your EReference to be true.
- Set the upper-bound of your EReference to be -1 (unbounded).
EMaps in your instance model
Here is an example query to extract the key-value pairs from an EMap
pattern emapPattern(K : EString, V : EString) {
EMapTestElement(M);
EMapTestElement.map(M, Map);
EStringToEStringMap.key(Map, K);
EStringToEStringMap.value(Map, V);
}
Parts of this overview are based on the http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/EMF-FAQ#How_do_i_create_a_Map_in_EMF.3F page.
