change attributes during runtime in transactional context [message #1052067]

Hi there,

When I add an element to my diagram, I want to give this element an initial name.
First I tried the following code:

if (this.resolveSemanticElement() instanceof Feature) {
  Feature featureNode = (Feature) this.resolveSemanticElement();
  if (featureNode.getName() == null) {
    featureNode.setName("Feature");
  }
}

By executing this code, the desired attribute changed, but I get always this execption:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot modify resource set without a write transaction
......

So I tried the following code (which works in another context), since it seems to be a problem with trancactions:

if (this.resolveSemanticElement() instanceof Feature) {
  Feature featureNode = (Feature) this.resolveSemanticElement();
  if (featureNode.getName() == null) {
    TransactionalEditingDomain editingDomain = ((IGraphicalEditPart) this).getEditingDomain();
    SetRequest setRequestX = new SetRequest(editingDomain, featureNode,PldPackage.eINSTANCE.getFeature_Name(), "Feature");
    SetValueCommand setX = new SetValueCommand(setRequestX);
    try {
      setX.execute(null, null);
    } catch (ExecutionException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

But then I get the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot activate read/write transaction in read-only transaction context

What is going wrong?

Hi,

you need to do something getEditDomain()/getEditingDomain() depending on your command and then .getCommandStack().execute(command). In your case it looks like you are trying to set a value of a semantic model element so getEditingDomain() should do the trick.

Thanks for your hint!! In case I'm tryng to change value of a semantic model element.

I tried the following code:

getEditDomain().getCommandStack().execute(new ICommandProxy(setName));

But then I get an exception:

org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException: While executing the operation, an exception occurred
......

I think it's because of using EditDomain instead of EditingDomain. But when I try to use

getEditingDomain().getCommandStack().execute(new ICommandProxy(setName));

eclipse tells me that the method execute(Command) in the type CommandStack is not applicable for the arguments (ICommandProxy. I'm unsure now what Command I have to use..

Yep, got "The method execute(Command) in the type CommandStack is not applicable for the arguments (SetValueCommand)"

But I dont't know how to use normal Command for this case..The documentation is really poor..
