Hi, so by using GMF, I made a diagram of software architecture. However, I want to modify the generated XML file so that it can comply to our model.. Currently, here is the file generated from the diagram:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<caparch:ComponentDiagram xmlns:caparch="caparch">
<componentType ID="" name="DriveControllerType">
<interfaceInstances interfaceTypeLink="#//@interfaceType.0" interfaceRoleLink="#//@interfaceType.0/@interfaceRoles.0"/>
</componentType>
<connectorType>
<interfaceInstances interfaceTypeLink="#//@interfaceType.1" interfaceRoleLink="#//@interfaceType.1/@interfaceRoles.0"/>
</connectorType>
<componentInstance ID="IBTTYPE" name="DriveControllerInstance" componentTypeLink="#//@componentType.0">
<interfaceInstanceLinks interfaceInstanceLinking="#//@componentType.0/@interfaceInstances.0"/>
</componentInstance>
<connectorInstance connectorTypeLink="#//@connectorType.0">
<interfaceInstanceLinks interfaceInstanceLinking="#//@connectorType.0/@interfaceInstances.0"/>
</connectorInstance>
<domain name="DCritical" desc="The domain containing the critical components" componentInstanceLinking="#//@componentInstance.0" connectorInstanceLinking="#//@connectorInstance.0"/>
<link connector="#//@connectorInstance.0/@interfaceInstanceLinks.0" component="#//@componentInstance.0/@interfaceInstanceLinks.0"/>
</caparch:ComponentDiagram>

As you can see it seems that when this XML refers to some other element, it seems that it already has set the own unique id for each element and referring to it rather. However, I want it to refer to the element's ID for example. if <componentInstance ID="IBTTYPE" name="DriveControllerInstance" componentTypeLink="#//@componentType.0"> (the id is IBTTYPE) then when this part componentInstanceLinking="#//@componentInstance.0" connectorInstanceLinking="#//@connectorInstance.0"/> refers to #//@componentInstance.0. Rather, I want this refer to it by using IBTTYPE. Would this be possible by somehow?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

this is a EMF related question which could be better answered in the EMF forums. You can have a custom serialization of EMF models thats for sure.

Jae,

Is the ID EAttribute marked with isID true in the Ecore model? If you
do that, it should be used for the reference. Also, if your references
can't ever be cross document and you don't want the "#" in the
reference, you should mark that EReference with isResolveProxies false.
