EMFFormsDomainExpander (ecp-parent 1.27.0-SNAPSHOT API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

EMFFormsDomainExpanderImpl
```
public interface EMFFormsDomainExpander
```
This service offers the method prepareDomainObject(VDomainModelReference, EObject) that allows to expand a given domain object for a VDomainModelReference. Thereby, missing references, which are defined in the domain model reference but do not yet exist (= are null) in the domain model, are created.

- Method Detail
  - prepareDomainObject
```
void prepareDomainObject(VDomainModelReference domainModelReference,
                         org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject domainObject)
                  throws EMFFormsExpandingFailedException
```
    Expands a domain object for the given VDomainModelReference. Thereby, the path defined by the VDomainModelReference is analyzed and missing objects in the domain model are created. The VDomainModelReference is not changed.
    Example:
    DMR: A -> B -> x
    domain model is instance of A but does not reference an instance of B
    => An instance of B is created and referenced by the domain model.
    
    Parameters:
    
    domainModelReference - The VDomainModelReference for which the domain object should be prepared.
    
    domainObject - The domain object to prepare.
    
    Throws:
    
    EMFFormsExpandingFailedException - if the domain expansion fails.
