There is a Model 2 Model QVTo transformation which works pretty well.
After getting new Model I'd like to extract it to XMI, but there is a problem I have no idea how to address it.

For example there is a root element Box with children elements of type Box.
Besides, Box itself comprises refenerce to another class, e.g. Title.
Box = {child: Box, name:String, title: Title}
The problem is that I do get something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.1" xmlns:xmi="ht_tp://schema.omg._org/spec/XMI/2.1" xmlns:mymodel="ht_tp://example._org/spec/MYMODEL/1.0">
 <mymodel:boxes xmi:id="uniqueId" name="RootBox" title="_YZAicjM3EeKpdar6P-33Hw">
     <mymodel:boxes xmi:id="uniqueId" name="ChildOne"/> 
 </mymodel:boxes> 
...
 <mymodel:Title xmi:id="_YZAicjM3EeKpdar6P-33Hw" expression="something" language="English"/>
...



But, I'd really like to remove mapping "by id" between Box and Title and get title element directly inside <mymodel:Box>. Is that possible?


By the time, I use options to for extracting to XMI:
...
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(fileURI);
...
Map options = new HashMap();
options.put(XMIResource.OPTION_USE_XMI_TYPE, Boolean.TRUE); 
options.put(XMLResource.OPTION_USE_ENCODED_ATTRIBUTE_STYLE, Boolean.FALSE);
...
resource.save(options);

Two things with the same xsi:id; that can't be good.

Where is mymodel:Box?

You can make "title" a containment reference if you want that.

I just simplified snippet as much as possible. Sure, both mymodel:boxes have their own uniquue xmi:idref.

What does it mean? Could you provide the simplest example?
It would be nice, if I needed to change options only, like:
options.put(XMIResource.OPTION_USE_XMI_TYPE, Boolean.TRUE);

Alexander,

In your Ecore model you must have a reference called "title" and it
sounds like you want its "containment" property to be true.
