[Texo] XMI Serialization in/from multiple files [message #923921]

Hi Martin,

Currently I can use ModelXMLSaver/ModelXMLLoader to serialize a object graph in/from XML (via setConvertNonContainedReferencedObjects as true).
It works pretty well.
And now I want to save cross-reference objects to their own xml file according to their type.
Imagine I have a ecore meta model with Person, Address and Person has a cross reference to Address.
I want to serialize Persons and Addresses into their own xml file like "Persons.xml", "Addresses.xml" and still keep the cross reference between them so that I can load them back.

I'm familiar with EMF Resource/ResourceSet concept, but it seems a little bit different in the context of Texo.
Do you have any suggestion to achieve this goal in Texo?

Best wishes,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
I think in this case your best 'bet' is to first convert the Texo pojo's to EMF objects and then you can do what you
want using standard EMF. This is also done internally by the ModelXMLLoader and ModelXMLSaver.

For model to emf and back see this page:
