RE: writing collection of refobjects through xmiwriter

Daniel,

It is not undesirable, It just means that I have to implement a bit more of
the 
reflective API to be able to use the XMIWriter. 

How is it written exactly? A link can be in different namespace as the
objects they link?

If I want to serialize all RefObjects within a namespace, I will also get
the links between those RefObjects, while these links can be defined in a
different namespace.

Am I making sense?

Thanks,

Ronald

Hi Ronald,

a link is written if (and only if) both related ends are written, i.e. both
are
in the passed collection (resp. in the transitive closure of the "composite"
relation). Is this inconvenient for you in some way ? If so, what is your
usecase of write(Collection) method - why serialization of the set of links
generated by the collection of refobjects is undesirable ?
