Is there a way to store an existing object? > So the same question as Lewis I guess, maybe if you could explain to us a little bit about what you are exactly trying to do, then we would be able to provide better feedback. Quoting EMF page: "Models can be specified using annotated Java, XML documents, or modeling tools like Rational Rose, then imported into EMF. " In Gora we need two files, a JSON file to create our data schema, and an XML mapping file which will tell Gora how it should map this schema into the datastore. Are you trying to do the "Models" part? Maybe you could some sort of mapping between whatever you model is into these files needed by Gora, and then wait as much as you can for actually generating Java classes.
