hi all,

Good to see the VE Project. i have one question.
can i generate the xml file when i do drag and drop for a component. i mean suppose i have dropped the Textbox component then can i generate an xml file which represents this component just like it is being represented in a java class now. Likewise i want to generate xml file for all the components dropped in the visual display.

something like......
<component>
<name>name</name>
<type>textbox</type>
......
</component>

can anybody tell me how can i achieve this. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

thanks,
Altaf

It can be done. But we don't have the examples to do it. At this time it
is complicated. One of the things we wanted to do is to extract out of
our java ve into a smaller class the capability of using the EMF model
of the code as the source instead of the java file source. But we just
haven't had time to do it.

hi Rich,

thanks for the response. What i have understood from ur reply is that we can generate the xml probably from the EMF source code model instead of extending it from the java file source. I'll look into it and if at all any update from ur side, please let me know.

Thanks,
Altaf.

hi,

i think its bit difficult to get such requirement now because the VE is basically targeted to be java based. so getting an xml out of it is somewhat difficult but i think not impossible probably.

Any update let me know.

thanks,
Altaf.
