Re: [wtp-dev] XML2EMF handling for ANY

Has any work been done to support DTD ANY and XSD anyType data in the
XML2EMF translators? If not, what is the current design thinking in
this area?
I've thought a bit about its use.
xsd:anyType and friends would need special support in both EMF2SAX and
EMF2DOM and cannot be added as "just another Translator", as some of the
special types can.
But what kind of "any" support are you looking for?
- Introspective matching between the XML structure and the EMF model.
- Best effort mapping to a small, generic EMF model mimicking the XML
structure
- Serialization to/from some "real world" XML in-memory structure such
as a DOM or a plain old string
Keep in mind that the Translator framework is both a structural
description of the XML and the mapping to/from the EMF model. Without
the Translator tree, you won't know how the XML tree maps to a tree of
EMF objects/features.
