I am trying to use the ShortestPathConnectionRouter in a get application
we are writing and here is the problem I have encountered.
Figure A has a bunch of children defined in the getModelChildren
Those children each have a getSourceConnections\getSourceModelConnections
and get target ones.
Those connections draw just fine.
I have the following code in Figure A's createFigure
ConnectionLayer connLayer = (ConnectionLayer)
getLayer(LayerConstants.CONNECTION_LAYER);
connLayer.setConnectionRouter(new
ShortestPathConnectionRouter(outerPanel));
return outerPanel;
where outerPanel is the content pane said children get added to. The
problem is the router doens't manipulate the connetions to avoid them
going right through the figures like it does in the shapes examples. My
searching has only turned up one thing I don't have which is this line of
code from somebody else's example:
contentEditPart.getContentPane().addLayoutListener(spRouter. getLayoutListener());
However that getLayoutListener doesn't exist anymore seemingly on shortest
path router. If anyone has any idea why the router might not be seeing my
figures as obstacles and routing aroudn them let me know. Thanks a bunch

The connection router does not handle nested containers. You would have to
enhance or rewrite the router to identify nested nodes, and add them as
obstacles.

The router is set on the content pane, the content pane has the figures in
it. Isn't that the same level? Those figurs have sub figures yes but the
size of the top level figure I would have thought would be what it cares
about and it grows to accomodate its sub figures.

Ok I discovered the problem. You were on the right track. Because I kept
re-setting the router for the connections in each figure, the bottom level
figure was the last one to get it set on and he has no children so there
was no obstacles. THanks
