Is it possible to have a bi-directional referenced based link, so that
both nodes can have the link listed in their properties? Alternatively,
does being a target end of a link add a property somewhere that I maybe
haven't found yet?
I'll explain why I need one of these, so if there's a third option I
haven't considered it yet, someone can suggest it. What I'm trying to do
is limit the total amount of links in and out of a node, so that if I
have, for example, a node (n1) that is only allowed one connection, and it
connects out to another node, no other node can connect in to n1. As
well, I will be generating code using oAW from this diagram, and I need to
be able to reference relationships between nodes in the code generated.
Thanks for any help,
Dan!

Hi Dan! Have you tryed to create the link associations in your EMF
metamodel bidirectional? you can achive this creating two associations
(A and B, for example) between two model objects and making A.EOpposite
= B (or B.EOpposite=A). With this you have made a bidirectional
association (even though you will see two links, they are representing a
bidirectional association). In GMF you only have to map one of those
associations with a link because the other one will be created and
mantained automatically by EMF.
Hope it helps.
Gabriel.

Thanks very much Gabriel, that does exactly what I'm looking for :) I
hadn't even thought to play around with the EOpposite attribute, because
on my first day with GMF, I had played around with it and not seen any
results (I guess I didn't think to refresh the diagram, and I didn't know
about the properties view back then).
Again, thanks very much!
-Dan!
