"Show In Design" action from SSE XML Editor [message #767751]

Hi,
I'm working on a "Show In Design" action via the Web Tools SSE right click menu.
The plan is to set the focus on a certain Sapphire ModelElement node in the tree when user the user right clicks an XML node in the document source and clicks the action.

I was wondering if there was an simple way to find a certain ModelElement in the Sapphire editor from the XML's org.w3c.dom.Node object.
Hoping to avoid traversing trees and searching for nodes manually if possible.
Thanks,
Roded

XmlEditorResourceStore maintains a mapping of DOM Node to Sapphire IModelElement that it uses for triggering element refresh when the underlying DOM Node changes. See XmlEditorResourceStore.getModelElements() method. This method is protected, but you can subclass XmlEditorResourceStore to gain the access you need or we can make the method public if there is an external user of this data.

Hi again,
Not sure I follow how to manage this...
I'd need access to the StructuredTextEditor to create a new XmlEditorResourceStore object.
No?

Your editor's model is bound to XmlEditorResourceStore, so you don't need to create it; you need to find it. To find it, grab the nearest model element you have access to and invoke this:

XmlEditorResourceStore store = element.adapt( XmlEditorResourceStore.class );

Very cool.
Though when running the following, null is returned as the resourceStore.
Anything else I should know?

ReportEditor editor = (ReportEditor)page.getActiveEditor();
final MasterDetailsEditorPage reportDesignFormPage = (MasterDetailsEditorPage)editor.getPage("Design");
final MasterDetailsContentOutline content = reportDesignFormPage.getContentTree();
IReport reportModelElement = (IReport)content.getRoot().getModelElement();
XmlEditorResourceStore resourceStore = reportModelElement.adapt(XmlEditorResourceStore.class);

Thanks a lot

(XmlResourceStore's base is null for that call.)

Sorry that didn't work. I was trying to go for the most compact invocation, but it looks like the adapt lookup method isn't finding this particular object type for some reason. Try this instead:

XmlEditorResourceStore store = (XmlEditorResourceStore) ( (RootXmlResource) element.root().resource() ).store();

That works well. Thank you.
I'm not clear on how to get around getModelElements() being protected,
short of copying the XmlEditorResourceStore object to a sublcass of XmlEditorResourceStore somehow.
