Hello,
currently, I'm working on a project involving Xtext (2.3.0) in several contexts:
1- First, user's should be able to create files using my Xtext grammar in an embedded Xtext-editor, with syntax highlighting etc. => done using the new "EmbeddedEditorFactory"-approach, thank you for adding this 
2- The files will be transfered to and persisted on a server. This will simply store the editor-contents as a string in a database => done
3- On request, the contents should be taken from the database and be "evaluated" on the server-side
This third part currently gives me a few headaches. What I basically try to achieve is to retrieve the editor-content-string from the database, parse it through Xtext and retrieve the fitting EMF-model structure as it was generated by the grammar.
I've read in the documentation that Xtext should be running in a non-equinox context (which I have on the server) using the "StandaloneSetup" and injector, which is fine (and I'm already using this for the embedded editor).
However, I couldn't find any information on how to go on. Is it shomehow possible to get the IParser injected, pass the string through a StringReader and get the resulting structure in a IParseResult? That's exactly what I'd require, but I don't know how I could actually retrieve the initial parser.
Any hints if/how that coule be done would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Martin

Use the EMF Resource API to load and parse models:
1) call <yourlanguge>StandaloneSetup.doSetup() to create the injector
and register the language to the EMF registries
2) create an XtextResourceSet
3) load the file as a resource into the resource set
4) access the resource's contents. This will be the AST
