Hi Kirk,

what do you want to do exactly? Do you want to create a text file from a
model? If this is the case you might have a look at the m2t projects
(http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/). Please provide some more
information.

Greetings,
Max

Hi Max,
What I want to do is just model2model transformation. The problem is that,
the kind of sencences which the generated XML file should contains, is
just similar to "<tag>abc</tag>".

I know using ATL, I can get "<tag property="abc"/>". But I don't know how
to get "<tag>abc</tag>". Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, but your XML confuses me. Do you mean the serialization of the
output model, or the in-memory representation? If you mean the
serialization, you might have to write your own serializer. If you call
ATL via ANT, you can write your own extractor. See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL_Howtos#How_can_I_implement_my_ow n_injector_or_extractor.3F
If you call ATL from Java and you have an EMF output model you could
implement your own Resource.Factory for reading and writing into your own
serialization. See
http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. emf.doc/references/javadoc/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/resource/pa ckage-summary.html
I don't think you could use the existing XMIResourceFactoryImpl to
serialize in that way. But to be sure you could ask on the EMF newsgroup.
If you call your ATL transformations from the Eclipse run configurations,
I don't know if it is possible to serialize the models in a format other
than XMI (maybe someone else knows about that).

I hope this helped.

Greetings,
Max

Hello Max,

Thank you for giving me so much help. It's my mistake that I said the
generated file was a XML file. Exactly, it's a XMI file. I use ADT to call
my ATL transformation from the Eclipse run configurations. What I want to
generate in the XMI file, is just similar to "<tag>abc</tag>". And "abc"
represents the information of the source model.

Thanks.
