XMLResource only persists one root object [message #997436] Mon, 07 January 2013 08:59 Go to next message

I have a simple application where I store multiple root objects in a resource. This worked with XMIResource, but when I switched to a XMLResource to take advantage of its uniqueID feature, only the first root object gets persisted.

I realize that this is probably the result of an XML rule limiting a document to a single root, are there any ways around it without resorting to multiple files?

Hi Greg,

XMIResource extends XMLResource, so it inherits the useUUID feature.

In order to activate it you have to specialize XMIResourceImpl and override useIDs() to return true.

As for persisting to XML there are more strict requirements on the ecore (which include having a single root object per file).

Vlad

Hi, Greg,

You can use XMIResource. It uses an <XMI> element at the root to
collect multiple objects; EMF elides it when loading.
