Hi all,
I have a root object that I want to serialize into a single XML file,
this root object have a list of object which are not contained
(containment=false).
I don't want to add them directly into the resource because I have a lot
of object deeper into my object graph.
Is it possible or must I have to add them into the resource or create a
special engine that will parse my graph to retrieve not contained reference.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply Robert,
But my problem is not resolved by the addition of the OPTION_SCHEMA_LOCATION
My problem is tah Iwant ot serialize OBject A which have a list of
Object B (the reference is not contained, so my objects B didn't have
container)
The xml generated only contain an element for object A.
If I add objects B into the resource contents, with XMLResource they are
not processed, whereas with the XMIResource they are...
I search a way not to have to add Object (which don't have container)
into the root contents of my Resource.
I've got a lot of Objects which are stored deeper in my graph and it
will be painful to do it by hand ....
Here my resource factory used with default options
public class SpecialXMLResourceFactoryImpl extends ResourceFactoryImpl {
private List lookupTable = new ArrayList();
private XMLParserPool parserPool = new XMLParserPoolImpl();
private Map nameToFeatureMap = new HashMap();
/**
* {@inheritDoc}
*/
@Override
public Resource createResource(URI uri) {
XMLResource resource = new XMLResourceImpl(uri);
Map saveOptions = resource.getDefaultSaveOptions();
saveOptions.put(XMLResource.OPTION_PROCESS_DANGLING_HREF,
XMLResource.OPTION_PROCESS_DANGLING_HREF_RECORD);
saveOptions.put(XMLResource.OPTION_CONFIGURATION_CACHE,
Boolean.TRUE);
saveOptions.put(XMLResource.OPTION_USE_CACHED_LOOKUP_TABLE,
lookupTable);
Map loadOptions = resource.getDefaultLoadOptions();
loadOptions.put(XMLResource.OPTION_PROCESS_DANGLING_HREF,
XMLResource.OPTION_PROCESS_DANGLING_HREF_RECORD);
loadOptions.put(XMLResource.OPTION_DEFER_ATTACHMENT, Boolean.TRUE);
loadOptions.put(XMLResource.OPTION_DEFER_IDREF_RESOLUTION,
Boolean.TRUE);
loadOptions.put(XMLResource.OPTION_USE_DEPRECATED_METHODS,
Boolean.TRUE);
loadOptions.put(XMLResource.OPTION_USE_PARSER_POOL, parserPool);
loadOptions.put(XMLResource.OPTION_USE_XML_NAME_TO_FEATURE_M AP,
nameToFeatureMap);
return resource;
}
}
and how I use it
public ResourceSet getResourceSet() {
if (resourceSet == null) {
resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFacto ryMap().put( "xml",
new SpecialXMLResourceFactoryImpl());
}
return resourceSet;
}
Resource resource = getResourceSet().createResource(getURI());
resource.getContents().add(getMyRootObject());
resource.save(Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
Thanks for your support.

To serialize a reference to an object, that object must be contained by
a resource. It can be contained by a different resource though...

And will complain about dangling references if the referenced object
isn't contained by a resource.

Yes, XML can only have one root, and only XMIResource introduces a
"fake" XMI root element...

The question is, what do you expect the serialization to look like? Do
you want it to serialize as if the reference were containment? Why not
make it a containment?

Thanks Ed,
You confirm my thoughts, I read and re-read the EMF book to find an
alternative ...
I'm working on a graphical editor which can have a lot of "nomenclature
objects" and shared object.
For example : I've got 10 000 Tasks and only 20 TaskType object
I don't want to serialize the TaskType 10 000 times but only 20. I
understand that like EMF persistence is coded I should use as many
resource as I have Container (and its related contained objects), my my
requisite is to have only one file (like the most time when we want an
xml file to exchange with other applications)
Now I explain my notion of shared objects and why I can't use
containment=true, the root object (Planning) I want to serialize is
loaded into one editor, and it's contained into the root application
object (Data).
So the Data object will contain a list of Planning. Each planning have a
dedicated graphical editor, and planning have a list of 'Person' which
can be shared by many Planning.
If I activate the containement=true, My Person couldn't be into 2 or
more planning.
This afternoon I coded a workaround that I Will automate soon , I
iterate over my graph to find object without container (ie: Person) and
I add them to the resource. The save and load works well.
But for largest model it could be a waste of time to parse the model
twice, one time to add object with have an eContainer==null and another
time to serialize the graph to XML.
Is it possible to add an XMI option why will allow to add object into
the resource if they are not contained instead of throw A DanglingException.
Could I override easily a XMISaveImpl class to do this ?
Thanks for your expertise :D

Generally I'd worry about performance only after you've measured it.

I suppose, but modifying the thing while saving it seems problematic...

XMLHelperImpl.handleDanglingHREF would be the place to look.

famous XMI root tag
I succeed in saving the xml file with everything I want but the loading
failed because objects are not in the same order. (I do an iteration in
larger (parcours en profondeur) instead of an iteration in deep (parcour

So this process is realizable but quite difficult and I haven't got
enought time to do it now...
