loading attribute values from external file [message #160205]

Hello, first of all I'm sorry for my bad english.

I'm newbie and trying to create a GUI using GMF for my thesis. I want to
know how I can load attribute values of objects in the domain model from
existing external file and save it back after the modifying. Objects must
have values which are already defined out of the GUI (but it isn't
constant) and must be able to be modified. I have to only call a method in
java to load/save the value, but I don't know where I should write it.
I've tried to change set-, get- methods in Impl files but it didn't work
and I couldn't find any answers in the web. If someone could give me
hints, suggestions or any other responses, I would be very glad.
Information about useful web sites or literature would be also
appreciated. Thank you.

best regards,
Tomoko

Tomoko,

You posted the same question to the EMF newsgroup. If you must post to
multiple groups (keep in mind that doing so will tend to annoy people),
please use a single posting addressed to both the groups, not two
separate postings.

Hello,

thank you for your response and I'm sorry for having used two positing. I
use a web browser for the newsgroup and couldn't/cannot find the way to
post a message to two different groups at the same time. I chose at first
eclipse.tools.emf from the Eclipse NewsPortal and then
eclipse.modeling.gmf. I'm not able to post messages from mailsoftware. Is
there any way for posting to different groups from browser? Thank you in
advance.

best regards,
Tomoko

Tomoko,

I see. I've opened
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=209794. I would encourage
you to use Thunderbird. It's free and is much more convenient than the
web-based approach.

When do you want to load the attributes?
When you create a new element?
or when do you do any action?

Thank you.

I dont't use my own computer mainly, so it's not easy to change my
environment... But I'll try to choose one group for one message.

best regards,

Hello Tomoko,

I think you should implement custom ResourceFactory and load/save EMF objects
from this custom storage (external file).
