:D, here is the trick, they are not normal XML files, they are XMI files - which are still XML files - they are the XML representation of an EMF model - EMF stand for Eclipse Meta Facility - it is the customized implementation of the OMG's OMF - Object Meta Facility. EMF is the frame work developed by Eclipse to impl the OMF in its own Eclipse mindset way :), and u can think about it like a framework to tie three main points together, that is Java, XML and UML. I kept thinking about that even starting from the point David impled the WebLogic import feature. I mean we have two approaches here:
1- To use the EMF to be able to read those XMI easily. But I still don't know how exactly to do it - needs some investigation, and I have some contacts to ask for that point. But we have to think about using EMF in our project, it is not that easy cause we will have to package it with OEJB, or the customer will have a headace doing it himself :S. 2- To use our intelligence and make a JAXB parsers - or anyother kind of parsers - so we can read it as a kind of normal XML files to get the info from it. Think about it and I will make my contacts to have a more precise decision. On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 6:11 PM, Karan Malhi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I could not find the schemas for the descriptors.
