Issue 7453: semantics of Reflection::Object                                                                                                                                                                         (mu2i-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary:  According to page 17, the semantics of Reflection::Object require that all instances of MOF model elements must specialize EMOF::Object. My question is, does this specialization have to be explicit or implicit? That is, if I create a blank MOF Class and ask for its superclasses, will they include EMOF::Object? If I send it a "getMetaClass" message, for example, will it understand it, or do I have to explicitly add EMOF::Object to its superclass property?

Hi,


I assume that this is the place to ask questions about the MOF 2.0 Core spec? I've been trying to implement it, and have a bunch of questions stemming from that.
