| Generating XML presentation of my model (similar to XMI) [message #134558] |

Hi,
I am thinking that how to save(export) my model in an XML format. I'm a
bit lost, though. When my GEF editor file is saved it seems to be a
serialized object graph. I was wondering how could I get hooked into
that serializing process. Basically I just want to walk through my
editParts starting from the most bottom one and create an XML dump
presenting my GEF model. What I am ultimately trying to do is to have
XMI presentation of the model.
If someone did understand what I mean and is kind enough to answer (or
give some pointer where to look for a solution) I would be highly pleased.
Cheers, Pekka

Thanks guys, actually it seems to be pretty easy to serialize the model
in an XML format. I went through the logic example but the input reading
point does not seem to be as obvious as the output writing (in
doSave-method) point.
My guess is that in my editor class (extended from
GraphicalEditorWithPalette) I am supposed to hook into init methods.
Well, I've got to dig more to find out the truth ;)
Cheers, Pekka
