Read diagram from a combined file. [message #825677]

Would it be possible to save and load diagram and model file into a combined file likes:
<Root>
<Diagram-part>
...
</Diagram-part>
<POJO-part>
...
</POJO-part>
</Root>

Thanks in advance!

As long as your domain objects are EMF objects this is no problem. The
tutorial does exactly that (although we would recommend to separate
graphical and domain data into separate files).

I'm not the Graphiti-Guru, but I think it's possible.

1.) Its easy, if you use EMF for your Domain Objects/Model: look at Graphiti chess example, its works "out of the box"
2.) Its more complicated, if you use Non-EMF-Domain Objects/Model: I would make it in a follow way:
- Create Initial file with diagram and objects file
- Store diagram file and objects file in a two different files temporary
- Open your graphiti editor initially with this two files
- On save-actions write your temporary objects file (the diagram file writes automatically by graphiti) and merge boths (diagram and objects) in your target file.

Best regards,

Nikolai
