Detecting unresolvable Resources [message #423239] Thu, 25 September 2008 11:42 Go to next message

Hi,

In my model I have two objects A and B, where A is referencing (not
containing!) B's. The A's and B's are serialized into different files.

In my GEF based editor I can open and edit A's and B's. Now I'm fighting
a bit with this scenario: Let's say the user created A.xmi and B.xmi. in
A.xmi he referenced B.xmi. Then (maybe outside my editor or even outside
the workbench of my rcp) he deletes B.xmi.

What's the best way to detect the unresolvable B instance in A.xmi
during loading A.xmi into my GEF based editor? Something like
allResolvable(eObject) would be great which returns something like a
status which objects cannot be resolved (since their underlying file
doesn't exist anymore). Then I could clean A.xmi to no longer reference
the missing B and display a message to the user.

Any hints a greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Andreas

EcoreUtil.UnresolvedProxyCrossReferencer is useful for that.

I've got another question: Currently I'm trying to keep the resourceset
of my TransactionalEditingDomain as clean as possible. Due to the check
of the EcoreUtil.UnresolvedProxyCrossReferencer, the unresolvable
resourcres are now contained in the resourceset. Is there any option to
tell the CrossReferencer (or something else) to remove the unresolvable
resources from the resourceset? Or do I have to do that manually after
the call EcoreUtil.UnresolvedProxyCrossReferencer.find(r)? I would
remove all resources from the resourceset which contain errors. Is that
safe?

Thanks,
Andreas

Hi, Andreas,

I think that should be safe: check for resources that are !isLoaded and
that have errors, and just remove them. For good measure, cleare their
eAdapters() lists, too.

As you're in a transactional context, you should do that in a
runExclusive() to ensure that somebody doesn't concurrently attempt any
proxy resolutions on the same unresolved proxies.

HTH,

Christian

Each time you access the proxy via the instance model, the framework
will try to resolve it and hence will demand load a resource for it
again. When you're cleaning up the proxies you can cast each one to
InternalEObject to call eProxyURI. If the resource referenced by that
proxy URI is empty (and the Resource.getErrors() isn't empty) you could
remove it from the resource set as part of the cleanup phase.
