Description Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2010-10-26 13:32:17 EDT 
It is currently possible to register services for model elements, however many problems are better expressed by services that operate at property level. A model property service would need to be managed at the level of property instance (that is in the context of a particular element and a particular property). 

Current API:

<S extends ModelElementService> S service( Class<S> serviceType );
StandardModelElementService service();

Proposed API:

<S extends ModelElementService> S service( Class<S> serviceType );
<S extends ModelPropertyService> S service( ModelProperty property, Class<S> serviceType );

Existing code in StandardModelElementService and ValueSerializationService would be refactored into multiple model property services.
