Saving in XML [message #198858]

Hello everybody!

I have two nodes in diagram and one link.

When I draw these two nodes and link them, my XML tree remains like:

<node name="a">
<link name="link"/>
</node>
<node name="b"/>

I would like to save the link in node b too. Like:

<node name="a">
<link name="link"/>
</node>
<node name="b">
<link name="link"/>
</node>

Is there some way to do this?!

Thanks,
Raphael

hi, just define a custom ResourceFactoryImpl which extends
ResourceFactoryImpl and overrite its createResource method, then
register it by extension point org.eclipse.emf.ecore.extension_parser.

The overrited method createResource must return a resource you must
define. Assume that the new defined resource is named FooResource,
overrite its key methods: doSave and doLoad, they are used to
*serialize* all EMF ojects in GMF editor into the custom XML file you
like and parse the custom XML to prepare EMF objects GMF editor need for
initialization respectively.

that's all, in addition, class XmlString is useful when do persistence.

Hello Raphael,

You have to modify your meta-model and create reference from B to A + specify
this reference as an eOpposite for the one from A to B. Then corresponding
reference + line in XMI file will be created for you automatically bu EMF.
