Hi,

i am trying to find a way to annotate my model so that an EReference sturctural feature, as well as the referenced eClassifiers are serialized as XML elements.

To be clearer what i want is an XML that looks something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AUTOSAR xmlns="http://autosar.org/schema/r4.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://autosar.org/schema/r4.0">
	<AR-PACKAGES>
		<AR-PACKAGE>
	            <SHORT-NAME>tl1</SHORT-NAME>
                    <AR-PACKAGES>
                        <AR-PACKAGE>
                            <SHORT-NAME>sub1</SHORT-NAME>
                        </AR-PACKAGE>
                        <AR-PACKAGE>
                            <SHORT-NAME>sub2</SHORT-NAME>
                        </AR-PACKAGE>
                    </AR-PACKAGES>
                </AR-PACKAGE>
                <AR-PACKAGE>
			<SHORT-NAME>tl2</SHORT-NAME>
		</AR-PACKAGE>
    <AR-PACKAGES>
</AUTOSAR>


But what i get is something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AUTOSAR xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="null http://autosar.org/schema/r4.0/autosar40/tl">
    <AR-PACKAGES>
        <SHORTNAME>tl1</SHORTNAME>
        <AR-PACKAGES>
            <SHORTNAME>sub1</SHORTNAME>
        </AR-PACKAGES>
        <AR-PACKAGES>
            <SHORTNAME>sub2</SHORTNAME>
        </AR-PACKAGES>
    </AR-PACKAGES>
    <AR-PACKAGES>
        <SHORTNAME>tl2</SHORTNAME>
    </AR-PACKAGES>
</AUTOSAR>


The ecore i created is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ecore:EPackage xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

        </eAnnotations>
      </eStructuralFeatures>
    </eClassifiers>
  </eSubpackages>
</ecore:EPackage>


Any help would be much appreciated...

Markus,

You're trying to insert an additional level of XML tag nesting but no
annotation will do that for you.

Hi Ed,

that is what i feared. So i either have to insert additional model elements (which i don't want to do, because the model will be generated from a different source and i want to keep my additions there minimal, preferably only via annotations) or i have to implement the desired reading/writing behavior directly inside a custom XMLResourceImpl, am i correct?

Markus,

Yes, those are pretty much your only options. Both XMLSaveImpl and
XMLHandler would need significant tweaking...
