ECP Model Validation before changes commit [message #1691944]

We have registered custom constraints on our model that is visualized using EMF Forms. The constraints are validated well and the UI is updated accordingly. However this is done after the changes are committed to the model. And it's possible to save the model with the violated constraints. It's even possible to share/push the model with the errors to the shared repo. Which means others can take the model with the errors.

What we want to achieve is to perform validation of the changes BEFORE transaction commit so that in case of constraints violation the transaction is reverted. And as soon as the error is fixed, the transaction is committed.

How can we achieve this?

Thanks.

Hi,

what exactly do you mean by "commit"? Commiting the changes to a server
or saving them locally?

Best regards

Jonas

Hi Jonas,

What I mean by "commit" is committing the changes locally to the model. The EMF Validation "Live Mode" allows validating a model against live constraints and if there is error, rolls back the transaction. It the kind of "thing" I would like to know with the ECP.

Thanks.

EMF Models are typically validated based on their state, meaning the
changes are already written into the model. What do you refer to as the
"Live Mode"?

One simple solution would be to create a copy which is then shown in the
form and update the values in the original, once the validation is
successful.

Best regards

Jonas
