Would like to serialize a single element (an emf xtext element) from an
XtextResource into a string. I can do the entire XtextResource using
resource.save (...) , but just want to serialize one element so I can
display it as read-only text.

Works great.
Now how about the inverse. I have an EObject and I want to pass in a String,
parse it and use the parsed result to replace the existing EObject.
void replaceExistingUsingStatement(EObject eo, String newStatement)
{
.....
}

Hi drew,
please have a look at the IParser or even IAntlrParser interface(s).
Note, that it is most likely not so easy to reparse an arbitrary EObject
this with IParser.reparse(CompositeNode, int, int, String) because the
parser may have made decisions based on look ahead information. In this
case, it will propably try to parse more text then you passed. I think
IAntlrParser.parse(..) is your friend.
Generally speaking it is save to modify an XtextDocument via
TextOperations and thereby delegate the complicated stuff to the
framework. Maybe you want to describe your use case in a few words?
Regards,
Sebastian

I am building a graphical editor and a text editor, I would like to add a
conevenice feature to the graphical editor to replace an existing eObject
using text fragment based on the grammar (as opposed to setting a bunch of
the EObject properties using seprate calls).
The following code almost gets me there, just not sure how to replace an
existing eobject with once that was created from the parser.
Here is some code that almost does this, the find replace is what I am
struggling with.
public void saveParsed(EObject existingObj, String newStatement)
{
Injector injector =
Activator.getDefault().getInjector(Activator.PLUGIN_ID);
IParser ip = injector.getInstance(IAntlrParser.class);
byte[] bArray = newStatement.getBytes();
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(bArray);
IParseResult ipr = ip.parse(bais);
EObject eRoot = ipr.getRootASTElement();
// This returns the root element for the model
// the actual item I need to replace is contained beneath
the root node
// lookup the new EObject called eFound
// remove the existingObj from its eContainer
// add eFound item back into same collection from
existingObj.eContainer
// is there a better way to perform this replacement?
}

Hi drew,
I'm afraid that there is no better way to do the replacement with your
approach.
Please be aware of the fact, that the method #parse(InputStream) expects
the content of the stream to be a valid root model.
Furthermore, please note that your parsed instance may contain syntax
errors.
Regards,
Sebastian
