Connection creation using Port eObjects [message #174966]

Hi Guys,

This is the Typical port and connection problem.

I have in my object model a connection object, with its source and target
objects set correctly.

I have written CreateViewRequest createViewRequest = new
CreateViewRequest(viewDescriptors) to create my ports.

Next within the same loop I want a command in GMF to create this
connection.

What command should I use to create this edge? I tried using couple of
CreateConnectionView commands but I observed that in most cases, they need
the source and target edit part or view as input to the descriptor. I dont
have it with me yet.

Is there any command in GMF where I pass the source and target eObjects
for an edge and it draws the connection correctly?

Sandip,

The DeferredCreateConnectionViewAndElementCommand or
DeferredCreateConnectionViewCommand can be used in this scenario. Take
a look at the javadoc for more info.

Cherie
