Here's a situation where I could use some advice:
I'm modeling a process flow and my original design of the EMF model had a
single top-level object that was the containment root for all objects in the
model. This worked fine. I could load/save without any problems. Now, I
have the requirement to make certain parts of the model "shareable". For
example, a user designs a sub-process that he/she wants to use across
multiple model instances. In an effort to accomplish this, I've changed
almost all references to non-containment references so that the component
parts can be written to separate files. Now, rather than one single file,
I've got quite a few (30+ in my unit test). So, it seems to save fine. I
load the "root" (top-level) document and load appears to work fine until I
go to save the model again. If I load the root document and immediately try
to save again (like a "Save As"), it appears that the other referenced
objects never get completely loaded. I find that if I write code that walks
the object tree after the load, everything gets demand loaded and the save
works correctly. Shouldn't the reference to each object by the EMF
serialization code cause the resources to be loaded?
If I'm going about this the wrong way, please let me know.
Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
When a document with cross document references is read in, proxies are
created to refer to objects in other documents. Those proxies are
resolved on demand as you access them. But when the serializer accesses
the instance, it's careful to do so in a way that does not cause any
proxies to resolve. So what you are describing is what I would expect...

How would you suggest I handle this? I really don't want to walk the entire
model to get everything loaded and I REALLY don't want a half-cooked model
serialized. I've got a separate "manifest" that tells me all the files that
make up the model. Should I just do a resourceSet.getResource(uri, true)
for each file? My first take would be that the LoadOnDemand parameter would
be false, but I get a null back when I try that. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Scott,
You haven't actually described anything that sounds like a problem.
What do you see as the problem?
One way to force all proxies to be resolved is to iterate over
ResourceSet.getAllContents and for each EObject, iterate over
eCrossReferences...

Is it possible to save a containment reference of a object as a
cross-document reference? In other words, I'd like to save the parent
and child in separate files.
Thanks,
Phong.
