How to propagate element changes to WritableList's listener? [message #558320] Sat, 11 September 2010 08:47 Go to next message

I found that the listener of WritableList can only be notified if there is any "add", "remove" or "set" operation occurs on the list.

Sometimes, I want to add observable beans to the WritableList, and I want the listener of this WritableList can be notified if the list's element - observable bean - fired property changed event.

I've noticed that this snippet used a observable Person class, which can emit PropertyChangeEvent to listeners. But I cannot understand how the final listener (the TableViewer intance) is able to perceive that event.

Can any body show me a right way to do this? Thanks.

Then you need to create an ObservableMap from the WritableList.

IObservableList l = new WritableList();
IBeanValueProperty p = BeanProperties.value("myattribute");
IObservableMap map = p.observeDetail(l);
map.addMapChangeListener( new IMapChangeListener() {
public void handleMapChange(MapChangeEvent event) {
// ...
}
});

Thanks, Tom.
p.observeDetail(I) returns IObservableList, right?why IObservableMap?

Oh sorry.

You need to translate the IObservableList into an IObservableSet in case
of a Viewer you can get the set from
ObservableListContentProvider#getKnownElements().

The IObservableMap is informed when *any* of the lists-elements
myproperty changes. If you are not using an
ObservableListContentProvider you can transform an IObservableList using
ListToSetAdapter and the code below reads:

IObservableMap map = p.observeDetail(new ListToSetAdapter(l));

What if I want the final listener get notified not only on "myproperty" property, but any property of the underlying bean?

You need to create an IObservableMap for every attribute.
