Doubt regarding getting values from the gmf figures [message #215083]

Hello All,

The application I am making consists of a number of domain model elements
for which I am creating the corresponding GMF entities/nodes. The user
will set the attributes of the a specific GMF entity by clicking it and
selecting its properties editor and save it which works great. The final
output of my GMF application is when I right click my editor and select a
menu item named "Create source" I want to read the data present in the GMF
entities, their attributes and values and group them and write it to an
XML file say source.xml based on a XSD definition I have. Can Some one
point to me how to do this? Is there any existing feature in GMF to do
that?

I hope to hear from someone.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Hello Steve,

If you will use this XSD file to create underlying domain (EMF-)model then
generated diagram, editor will save all the underlying domain model information
into the XML file in accordance with this XSD document (thanks to EMF). So
i think you should move in that directions (revord domain model to make it
based on XSD and get serialization for free on pressing Save).
