Hello everyone!
I try to create some editors for XML files based on XML Schema.
Currently i using JAXB for reading and storing data. This is great tool
- i can read and store data in three lines.. but there is small problem.
For example - i reading by JAXB structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root xmlns="urn:foo:bar">
<element
attribute="before" />
</root>
After storing i'll got:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><root xmlns="urn:foo:bar"><element
attribute="after" /></root>
I can set property for formating etc, but that's not end. JAXB generate
namespace prefixes - so if i want save other namespaces prefixes (before
common, validation etc, after ns1, ns2 and so on) i must create own
NamespacePrefixMapper who will read prefixes from file and give it for
JAXB. I don't want fight with JAXB but everything is going to this -
i'll write prostheses.
And the point of my question - is there any way to read, edit and store
XML without problems JAXB-like problems? I mean - read to objects (i
don't need SAX or DOM-like functionality), edit (setting objects
properties) objects and store only changed attributes [for example given
above]:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root xmlns="urn:foo:bar">
<element
attribute="after change" />
</root>
I've UI created by eclipse forms and next editors also will have UI
based on forms. Example editor:
http://img.wklej.org/v.php?id=76022agavi%20module%20editor.P NG
Does EMF can do this?
Regards,
Luke

Luke,
You'll probably find this information useful:

Except for complex types with mixed content, EMF will generally format
the result as well. By default it will be an indented format, but you
can turn that off to have more like the first version without any
unnecessary white space.
For an XML Schema based model, the root of your resource will consists
of a DocumentRoot instance that will have a getXMLNSPrefix map which you
can populate direct with any xmlns declarations you might like to see.
Follow these tutorial steps for your schema to give it a try:
Tutorial: Generating an EMF Model using XML Schema
< http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/*checkout*/org .eclipse.emf/doc/org.eclipse.emf.doc/tutorials/xlibmod/xlibm od.html>
An editor is generated as well, but we won't be supporting forms
generation until the current release. If you invoke Generate Test Code,
you'll get a *.tests project with JUnit tests as well as an
XyzExample.java that shows how to read and write instances stand alone.
The only tool that I know of that's capable of preserving your exact
formatting (even DOM won't do that) is the structured text (XML) editor
in the web tools project, but it's just an enhanced DOM, so that might
not meet your needs either.
