Mark,

This question is probably more appropriate for the EMF newsgroup (copied).

It's not really expected that Ecore2XML models be used as input to a
generator model... what were you looking to achieve? The original intent
of Ecore2XML models was to use them as input to a resource
implementation, to help drive the way resources are (de)serialized
to/from XML...

Kenn,

I new with EMF. I thought, I can give the genmodel the ecore2xml
mapping, so that this mapping will be automatically included into the
model code generation process. So the (de)serialization could always use
this mapping.

Currently I have a model that serializes like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<print:article xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:print="print">
<articleinfo title="Testdocument">
<author firstname="Mark" surname="Hoffmann"/>
</larticleinfo>
<sect1 title="Introduction">
<para text="This my Introduction"/>
</sect1>
</print:article>

But I need it more in the docbook style:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC
"-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "../docbook-xml-4.5/docbookx.dtd">
<article>
<articleinfo>
<title>Testdocument</title>
<author>
<firstname>Mark</firstname>
<surname>Hoffmann</surname>
</author>
</articleinfo>
<sect1>
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>This my Introduction</para>
</sect1>
</article>

At the moment I use xslt transformation to get the docbook style. I am
looking for way to avoid this step.

Mark,

You should be able to use extended meta data annotations to accomplish
your goal. Try writing a small schema (or looking at the library schema
tutorial to see how they work). There's also an option for writing a
doctype.
