ViewPart vs. EditorPart [message #436749]

Hello,

I am building a client/server app and have widgets like textfields,
check boxes, comboboxes etc. I am indecisive whether to use an
EditorPart or a ViewPart. I am using an oodb on the backend and a
project called EssentialData that directly binds my widgets to my
persistable objects.

What I am trying to accomplish is to ask the user if anychanges were
made whether they want to save them or not.

ie Class Client{
String name;
getName();
setName();
}

Class Part{

private Text nameText;

createpart{
create the gui ...

POJOAdapter pojoClient = new POJOAdapter().add(new
POJOFieldAdapter(nameText,"name");
pojoClient.setInput(new Client());

}
}

Any changes to the text field are automatically stored in my client
object. I can ask the POJOAdapter if it isDirty();

Can the EditorPart and IEditorInput be adapted to utilize the above
scenario or should I stick with Viewpart and implement all the stuff
that seems to be available in EditorPart.

Any opinions or (Sample Code) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.
