More details.
Upon careful debugging, I find that all goes well in my sequence of
messages until I reach a call to ViewUtil.setPropertyValue(). In this
method, nothing is actually done because the featureClass that is
passed in, which is my domain class that needs updating, is not
recognised as either a style or a layout of the view (node), nor is it
an instance of the view itself.
So how to add the property I am trying to change as something that the
view knows about? Or alternatively how to persuade the system to
perform the update anyway and to mark the editor as dirty?
TIA,
B.
