Hi,

I am trying to find a way to coerce EMF to model some text as Element
content rather than as an Attribute. To make this explicit, how EMF
normally serialises at String field is as such:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<epo:PurchaseOrder xmlns:epo="http://www.example.com/ExtendedPO">
<details description="This could potentially be a very long string."/>
</epo:PurchaseOrder>

The value of "description" could be any length, f.i. it could be stored
as a CLOB.

What I would like EMF to produce is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<epo:PurchaseOrder xmlns:epo="http://www.example.com/ExtendedPO">
<details>
<description>This could potentially be a very long string.</description >
</details>
</epo:PurchaseOrder>

Is it possible to get EMF to co-operate in this way?

Thanks,
Joel
