ie. I am rendering the XML fragment for an EObject so that it be printed and
or passed to other clinets in a string. Is there a way to do this?

Drew,

You could use

/**
* Write only the subtree starting at the specified list of EObjects,
* which must be objects contained by the resource.
*/
String OPTION_ROOT_OBJECTS = "ROOT_OBJECTS";

This only seems to work if the EObject is self-contained (has no references
to other eobjects) , if the EObject has a field that is a reference to
another Eobject then I get an exception when the resource gets saved.

org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.Resource$IOWrappedException: The object
'.......' is not contained in a resource.

Here is the snippet I use to save the resource to a string, maybe there is
another option that should be specified?
///////////snip
List theList = new ArrayList();
theList.add(theType);
Map options = new HashMap();
options.put(XMLResource.OPTION_ENCODING, "UTF-8"); //$NON-NLS-1$
options.put(XMLResource.OPTION_ROOT_OBJECTS, theList);
StringWriter o = new StringWriter();
XMLResource theRes = (XMLResource) theType.eResource();
theRes.save(o, options);
String s = o.getBuffer().toString();
System.out.println(s);

Well yes, if you want someone else to read it, it won't do them a lot of
good if there are references to other things you don't send to them.

You could use this option to discard the dangling references:

* This can be one of "THROW", "DISCARD", "RECORD", where "THROW"
is the default.
*/
String OPTION_PROCESS_DANGLING_HREF =
"PROCESS_DANGLING_HREF";
String OPTION_PROCESS_DANGLING_HREF_THROW = "THROW";
String OPTION_PROCESS_DANGLING_HREF_DISCARD = "DISCARD";
String OPTION_PROCESS_DANGLING_HREF_RECORD = "RECORD";
