What is the difference between bindAttribute() and bindReference() ? [message #1654576]

Hi,

what is the difference between bindAttribute() and bindReference() ?
What I want to achieve is to store the content not in an attribute of my EObject but in the Tag content itself like the Documentation.
How dos this work?

Thanks for any help

Hi Ralph,

I'm guessing you've already figured this one out, but just to clarify: bindAttribute should be used for attribute features, and bindReference for references. "Attributes" are those features that are (normally) serialized as XML attributes, and "references" are (normally) serialized as XML elements. References can be either contained elements, or references by ID to elements contained elsewhere.

HTH,
Bob
