Hi,

Can anyone how we can control the element ordering in EMF Serialization, e.g I have the following EMF model class,

&#9500;&#9472;&#9472;&#9472;Paragraph
&#9474;   &#9500;&#9472;&#9472;&#9472;bullettedText (0..*)
&#9474;   &#9500;&#9472;&#9472;&#9472;formattedText (0..*)
&#9474;   &#9500;&#9472;&#9472;&#9472;heading (0..*)
&#9474;   &#9500;&#9472;&#9472;&#9472;table (0..*)
&#9474;   &#9492;&#9472;&#9472;&#9472;text (0..*)


The following are some samples that shows what I want to do when serialization happens

e.g - 1 : ExamplePara1(text,heading,formattedtext)

e.g. - 2 : ExamplePara2( text,heading,text,formattedtext,text)

e.g. - 3 : ExamplePara3(text,heading,text,formattedtext,text,formattedtext,bullettedtext,text)

What I am trying to achieve is that I want the any reference features to occur in any order and also in mixed format.

Try defining an <xsd:complexType> with mixed="true".  This will produce a model that supports what you show above.  This will likely prove useful

Binding XML to Java

Summary I don't what the element to be grouped within a parent as all texts together , all paragraph together etc., i need to them to occur in the order i create then in the Editor

Be sure your complex type allow that mixed order.

Is there anyway we can do this in EMF Serialization. Any property we need to set ? I tried with "ordered" property of the Class but in vain.

Thanks.
