I took the library.xsd example and added ecore:mixed="true" in ordet to
allow XML comments to be preserved.

The output of an instance document comes out flat on one line.
Here is the xsd I used.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://www.example.eclipse.org/Library"

<xsd:complexType name="Book" ecore:mixed="true">

<xsd:element name="title" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="pages" type="xsd:int"/>

Mark,

Once you say it's mixed, you are responsible for the formatting. So if
you read in an instance, the instance formatting will be preserved, but
if you create an instance from scratch, you have to create the
formatting from scratch too.

Hi, I am new at EMF, but have successfully created a model and am
currently reading data from it.

I am trying to use the ecore namespace as default when generation a
model from a schema. Heres the story.


During reading I found that the xsd :
<xs:element name="resulttype">
<xs:complexType mixed="true" />
</xs:element>


Does not allow me to access CDATA like banana

<resulttype>banana</resulttype>

in the generated code.

Adding the ecore namespace to the schema node
and putting mixed in this namespace fixed the problem

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore">
......
<xs:element name="resulttype">
<xs:complexType ecore:mixed="true" />
</xs:element>

now the generated code has the method getMixed() on which I can use the
getValue(0) to get CDATA contents, which is fine.

Back to the question : can I get the emf codegenerator to generate
getMixed as default or define the ecore namespace to be used as default

Regards, Jesper

Jesper,

Hi

Is it possible to allow comments for a complex type and to keep formatting working?

Denis,

No, once you have mixed content, you have to control the format.

Thanks for reply!

For newbies like me: JDK 1.6 has a good XML support, and it's very easy to format XML even without 3rd party libraries. There are a lot of examples in a web.
