Hi ,

I have created models using EMF and GMF. After saving the models at run time i see that the saved file contains references like,

<customers customerID="1" orders="//@orders.0"/>
<orders comment="PO1" customer="//@customers.0"/>

In the book i read that using XMIResourceImpl we can, however, change the serialization of the two references, orders and customer, to use XMI IDs rather than paths.

<customers xmi:id="Customer_1" customerID="1" orders="Order_1"/>
<orders xmi:id="Order_1" comment="PO1" customer="Customer_1"/>

I am not clear what options we had to set in the XMIResourceImple to get this set automatically for all the models. I have around 100 models.

Please help me as this urgent!
Thanks!

You'll need to a resource factory that creates a specialized
XMIResourceImpl that overrides useUUIDs to return true.

Hi ,
I changed the resource factory impl as mentioned in the previous thread and my reference is saved as follows (instead of the xpath format),

tariffSelectorLink="TariffSelectorID_52 TariffSelectorID_51"

This denotes two references. Is there a way that i can have the delimiter as '/' between the two references instead of the default ' ' ?

Please help!
Thanks!

No, not without specializing XMLSaveImpl and XMLHandler to deal with that.
