Get XML string from EObject [message #381128]

Hello guys
I am reading an xml file with the help of the EMF generated
ResourceFactory. This model shall then be edited in a forms based editor.

For presentation purposes in the editor I need the String representation
of some EObjects. Is there an easy way to determine/rebuild an String
representation of the EObject (namespace is not needed in xml tags) ?

The tag name can be the name of the EObjects EClass or Class.

I have already realized a (partial) solution but what is missing are the
xml attributes.

Maybe somebody has an idea.

Thank you in advance.

Marko,

Please use the EMF newsgroup for EMF-specific questions. I've added it
to the "to" list of the reply.

A new save option was added to EMF 2.3 which will likely help.
OPTION_ROOT_OBJECTS can be used to specify a particular object you want
to save and that in combination with XMLResource.save(Writer, Map)
applied to a StringWriter could be used to produce a String represention
of some subtree of your overall resource.

Marko,

It's in EMF 2.3 GA in the org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi plugin.
