isTransient
public boolean isTransient(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject owner,
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EStructuralFeature feature,
int index)
Decides whether a value should be serialized.
If !feature.isMany() or !isMixedList(feature), this method is only called once for each feature. In this case,
index is < 0.
If feature.isMany() and isMixedList(feature), this method is called for each of the feature's values.
Attention: Values marked transient are only not serialized when they are optional in the grammar. Example: Rule1:
transientF=INT normalF=INT; In this case, the grammar requires to serialize transientF to produce a valid
DSL-script.
Attention: Think of how many times the serializer calls this method and supply a fast implementation. The
serializer tries to avoid multiple calls to this method using the same parameters, but depending on the grammar
and the model, it may happen.
