Emf->Xsd->Java code to serialize deserialize xml [message #558980]

the only thing i want to do is to read and write xml-files specified by a xsd-file. i tried jaxb but it ignores all restrictions in object space (no validation).
so i stumbled across emf. it seems to do - among other things Wink

- exactly what i need.
in meanwhile i generated code from the xsd i need. but what now? At the end i want a minimum set of classes and dependencies to read and write xml files respecting the underlying xsd - and use them in a maven project. how to do this?

splitting it up in subquestions:

- how to use the generated code to read/write xml files?
- how to cut or generate an artifact out of the emf-eclipse-project to be used as "myxmlapi"(.jar with needed dependencies)

thx in advance

I'm not surprised. Restrictions are just not well expressed/represented
in Java or any other object oriented language (which focus on extension).

If you invoke Generate Test Code you'll end up with a small example that
reads and writes instances.

If you run the generated XyzExample.java you'll get the idea. The XML
binding article on the documentation page is quite useful too.

thx for the "generate test code" hint - very helpful

i'll examine it...
