Hi, Every one
I am new to Graphiti, today i ran into a problem, and i don't know how to solve it, search the google several hours now, maybe someone here can offer a little help.

Here is the problem, i can add objects just fine using the palette. But i want to add a new feature,that is when i use the direct editing feature to change the name of a object, if a certain string is typed in, a new object will be added into the diagram just like i drag a new object using palette.
i plan to do this at the checkValueValid, if a "=" is typed in, a new object should be added.
i managed to get the targetContainer, and i can create the object with the model code, but i always get the exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot modify resource set without a write transaction
at org.eclipse.emf.transaction.impl.TransactionChangeRecorder.assertWriting(TransactionChangeRecorder.java:348)
at org.eclipse.emf.transaction.impl.TransactionChangeRecorder.appendNotification(TransactionChangeRecorder.java:302)
at org.eclipse.emf.transaction.impl.TransactionChangeRecorder.processObjectNotification(TransactionChangeRecorder.java:284)
at org.eclipse.emf.transaction.impl.TransactionChangeRecorder.notifyChanged(TransactionChangeRecorder.java:240)
at org.eclipse.emf.common.notify.impl.BasicNotifierImpl.eNotify(BasicNotifierImpl.java:374)

How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for the help
@Override
    public String checkValueValid(String value, IDirectEditingContext context) {
        if (value.length() < 1)
            return "Please enter any text as class name.";
        if (value.contains("=")){
              Object p =         getBusinessObjectForPictogramElement(context.getPictogramElement());
              Object a = Factory.eINSTANCE.createObject();
               a.setName(value);
              p.getObject().add(a);
              return "not a valid name";
            }
        return null;}

Tim,

Graphiti uses EMF Transactions to execute all changes. That means that all
EMF object live inside a TransactionalEditingDomain and must use a
transaction to execute any changes. You will need to write something like
this:

TransactionalEditingDomain editingDomain =
diagramBehavior.getEditingDomain(); // or get the editing domain from the
EObject and cast it
editingDomain.getCommandStack().execute(new RecordingCommand(editingDomain)
{

@Override
protected void doExecute() {
// Do you changes here
}
});
