| EMF Command for updating EMaps? [message #394459] |

I'd like to set an EAnnotation detail through an AddCommand/SetCommand.
I have an editingDomain that contains an EAnnotation. I know about
EcorePackage.eINSTANCE.getEAnnotation_Details(). What I can't figure out
is how to add the entry "Foo" -> "Bar" through this mechanism.
AddCommand has a constructor whose second parameter is an EList -- and an
EMap is an EList -- but the EntryImpls that EMap uses are protected so I
can't simply make one myself and add it to the EMap-as-an-EList.
I could use the SetCommand() with the EAnnotation and it's
EcorePackage.eINSTANCE.getEAnnotation_Details(). To do that I'd need to
make a copy of the EMap, update the copy, and use the copy for SetCommand
(right?) I don't know how to duplicate an EMap -- EcoreUtil.copy() only
copies EObjects.
Please advise.

Jim,
And you want to do this as commands?
In the Ecore editor, a new details entry is created because of this code
in
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.provider.EAnnotationItemProvider.collectNewChildDescriptors(Collection<Object>,
Object)
protected void collectNewChildDescriptors(Collection<Object>
newChildDescriptors, Object object)
{
// super.collectNewChildDescriptors(newChildDescriptors, object);
newChildDescriptors.add
(createChildParameter
(EcorePackage.Literals.EANNOTATION__DETAILS,
EcoreFactory.eINSTANCE.create(EcorePackage.Literals.ESTRING_TO_STRING_MAP_ENTRY)));
}
So that's how you create a new Detail entry if you need to add
something, and you can add it using an AddCommand. If you want to
update the value of an entry, you can do that with a SetCommand.

Jim,
You need to consider what the implementation normally does:
public static void setAnnotation(EModelElement eModelElement, String
sourceURI, String key, String value)
{
EAnnotation eAnnotation = eModelElement.getEAnnotation(sourceURI);
if (value == null)
{
if (eAnnotation != null)
{
eAnnotation.getDetails().removeKey(key);
}
}
else
{
if (eAnnotation == null)
{
eAnnotation = EcoreFactory.eINSTANCE.createEAnnotation();
eAnnotation.setSource(sourceURI);
eModelElement.getEAnnotations().add(eAnnotation);
}
eAnnotation.getDetails().put(key, value);
}
}
So one brute force approach is to use a ChangeCommand and just invoke
that method. The other approach is to consider all the cases. If there
isn't an EAnnotation with the expected source URI present, you need to
create one and add it to the EModelElement.eAnnotations feature. The
next case to consider is trickier. The EAnnotation.details feature
might contain an entry for the key; in that case, you need to find that
entry and set the value feature. If it doesn't contain an entry, you
need to create an entry and add it. All this can be done using add and
set commands. A ChangeCommand wouldn't be so bad either. You only
need to attach the change recorder to the EModelElement because it's the
only thing you'll change.
