Hi,
I have been persisting my models with XMI and it has been working fine. I
wanted to start using XML to make the models easier to parse for some
usages.
When I persist with GenericXMLResourceFactory only the first (or root I
guess) object gets written to the xml file.
My models are generated using dynamic EMF, the EObjects copied to a resource
created with GenericXMLFactory, and then written.
Below is a simple example I created which demonstrates this problem. It
creates a single EObject which contains a containment reference to a second
EObject.
After stepping into XMLResourceImpl it looks like the code writes the first
EOjbect in the Resource and never wants to later write the rest. I presume I
must have some option not set correctly or such.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Derek

Derek,
In contrast to XMI you can only store a single root object in an XML
document. I guess EMF just takes resource.getContents().get(0). With XML
you need to explicitely add your (former) root objects to a container
object (an instance of one of your modeled classes) and make that the
new, single root object of the resource.
Cheers

Eike,
That's right. One should use XMIResourceFactoryImpl to create an
XMIResourceImpl to serialize multiple roots.
